The Duke Blue Devils have already lost two games in the ACC, including a vexing loss to Miami at home yesterday, but that won’t put a damper of their first meeting of the year with North Carolina coming up in Chapel Hill Wednesday.

“A Duke team should play with energy for 40 minutes – or 45,” Krzyzewski said after the Miami loss. “Go outside and look at the banners. They’re quite a few of them up there. They were not won without energy, without hunger, with … complacency, with(out) people really wanting it.”

On the other hand, the Tar Heels have one loss in the conference and had a time with the Terrapins in Maryland Saturday. Both teams could be playing better but you can bet there won’t be any complacency or lack of energy for either team. If anyone, one or the other might be too keyed up and lose focus.

The Tar Heels, being at home, figure to be the slight favorite but after losing to Florida State and Miami at home, Duke pride could lift them to a victory in Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels will have to play better than they have to hold off the Devils – and they have to hope that Harrison Barnes’ re-aggravated ankle will be OK by game time, set for 9 p.m.
