The Hating of Duke
Every year about this time, legions of ACC fans begin to tingle with excitement. The hardwoods have opened up and college basketball is well underway. Power teams are playing their share of cupcakes and contenders in an effort to hone their squads into shape for conference play.
Mid-majors are salivating at their chance to sneak in an upset or two over quality teams. Gardner-Webb's romp over Kentucky, UNCG's testy victory over Georgia Tech, and Davidson's near-miss over Carolina. Just to name a few.
The ACC's fans see these contests as merely warm-up games, basketball fodder till the real season gets here. ACC season. For teams like Carolina and Duke, a trip to the NCAA for a chance at the national title is all but guaranteed. It's part of the recruiting process. It's almost a given while Roy and Mike are at the helms.
