Don’t forget about the non power 5 schools. The amount of d1 basketball programs in North Carolina is insane. Big south, meac, CAA, Socon, a10 and even the sunbelt, cusa, and American have 1 or many member institutions from North Carolina. Every year March madness has multiple non power 5 representatives from nc
Grew up in a NCSU family. As my dad always says, Damn a Tarheel. Also, Wake Forest is far away now, but it was founded in the town of Wake Forest which borders Raleigh to the north. The former campus is now the Southeast Baptist Theological Seminary.
Duke is Puke, Wake is Fake , But the team I hate is NC State. Learning this as a young kid in Alamance County. When I was small Carolina vs State was the Rivalry. Respect all 4 universities and always will!
I grew up in The Triangle. During the ACC tournament, everything would stop. The teacher at school would have the game on in class. I graduated high school in '08 at Reynolds Coliseum, and it didn't have AC 😅
Yep, every teacher would wheel the AV cart into the room and let you watch the opening round of games. I graduated in 91', glad to know this is still sorta happening.
A very interesting note would have been to include Wake Forest's original location, in the town of Rake Forest, just ~ 15-20 miles north of NC State and east of Duke. Coach Bones McKinney was their scion.
Perfect acknowledgment of States early advances in basketball. I’ve never seen state fans get more enraged than when A Tarheel acts like they don’t exist. Great video The state of North Carolina runs Basketball
unc fans should likely be silent until the fall at least considering that state beat them in football, state men beat them to win the acc tournament (meaning that none of UNCs players have never won an acc tournament while their rivals have won the past 2 years) to make the tournament and make the final four and state’s women’s team also made the final four
@@lilyprice706no state or duke fan can trash talk us in basketball considering all the success our men’s and women’s teams have had. But I agree we have to get our crap together in football
@@Happytarheel7 I can find a little bit of trash talk for men’s basketball since nc state currently has a longer active ncaa tournament streak and made it farther in the tournament the past two years, and a more recent acc tournament title but i expect that to go out the window next year unless another miracle happens, your women’s team is decent however nc state women have seen more recent success in the past couple of years minus 2023, I am excited to see how the acc turns out in women’s basketball because the conference now has a lot of really good teams
Don't forget about UNC Charlotte, which has been to a Final Four, and Davidson, which is where Steph Curry went. UNC Wilmington has a pretty good mid-major program too.
Awesome video. I'm a Carolina fan born and raised in Los Angeles. Wake Forrest has to pick it up...I can remember them having big name players then they just stopped. NC State will have a few here and there. UNC and Duke are constants in that area which will keep them riding high. Being from L.A., CULA vs USC isn't even big out here anymore. I can remember when it was.
my boy this is an amazing video and thanks for giving my wolfpack the respect they deserve as a program but man dont say Raleigh (its RAW-LEE) like that LOL.. all in all great video, keep up the good work my guy!
There was the Big Four Tournament in the 70s. Interestingly, Wake had the most titles despite having a losing record overall at 10-12. State and UNC had winning records while Duke had a losing record. There was another ore-season tournament in the 50s, the Dixie Classic, with the same four teams.
There's also many social/cultural differences between Duke and UNC as well. Duke is a majority out of state student population of extremely bright kids and are usually upper class so they can afford the high tuition. Whereas UNC is one of the most affordable flagship public universities in the country but also one of the hardest to get into. So both sets of students are about the same as far as pre-college academic achievement, but the UNC kid is a local kid who was probably the valedictorian of his public high school and his dad is a mechanic. The Duke kid is very intelligent and academically accomplished but went to a New England prep school and his dad works in finance. I also had friends who were upper class who went to UNC as well. So it's not black and white. But make no mistake, both sets of students who attend these school are extremely bright.
The ACC used to have Saturday TV (Sail with the Pilot) triple headers. I grew up in South Carolina but we were closer to UNC than Clemson. I remember the same announcers for the first game at Duke would do the third game at Carolina. I said they must be close. I’ve been to both. They are close but the traffic of two major universities are ridiculous.
I grew up a Duke kid, I went to Duke, saw Zion my freshman year and went to the final four game my senior year, coach K’s last game. We are the greatest rivalry for sure
@@robertl.andersonii5926 it was terrible lol cause yeah I mean obviously that felt like the most important one ever. But also I was EXHAUSTED, they drove us down there on a bus for 16 hours and when we lost, we slept one night and then it was 16 hours straight back. Definitely not the final four experience I always dreamed about.
good video man. only thing is I think its a bit weird you bring up Wake Forest briefly and then never again in the video. Would have liked to hear their story if its relevant.
State has shifted to be a football school after getting dominated in basketball for so long. Smart move in all honesty with so much more money in football. Starting to be a constant in the top 25
wake is the redheaded stepchild of the big 4. they had a couple seasons where they were the top team. in '95, they ran thru the ACCT beating eventual FF UNC in the ACC title game. they had Duncan and Childress which was the best inside out combo in NCAA ball. they had other FF calibur teams between the 90s and 00s (i.e. wake when Chris Paul was a So.). i grew up in chapel hill and back in the 70s and 80s, the rivalry was UNC and state. you rarely saw people walking around with dook hats and Ts, mainly UNC and state. kay changed that and dook became a powerhouse by the late 80s and state dropped off the map. all of a sudden, i started seeing dook garb. but during kays reign, heels matched them in FFs, titles and head to head even though unc had to go thru 4 coaching changes and some rebuilding years. unc earlier won the state rivalry and then won the dook rivalry once and for all during kays last season. phuc dook and go Heels!
When someone says college basketball in NC you automatically think Duke and UNC but NC State was the first NC school to be a powerhouse. It all started with Everett Case who’s was the coach of the Wolfpack from 1946-1964. He brought basketball to North Carolina from Indiana and was the reason historic Reynolds Coliseum which at the time was the largest primarily basketball arena known in the south east. Duke was never in the picture till coach K. UNC and State were always the top dogs, Duke never won any championships until Coach K. NC State had its two national champs before Duke got one. UNC was good but when Dean Smith stepped on the court it took off. All teams have had great coach’s and history but today you only hear about Duke and UNC. From Everett Case to Jimmy V, to Dean Smith to Coach K. NC was always great for basketball.

I am clearly a Duke fan for a few reasons: 1. Support for my fellow Pollack, Coach K. 2. Strong dislike for the University of Kansas Chickenhawks, a program that vomited out BOTH Dean Smith and Roy Williams. 3. My podcast got its name from a picture of me wearing a Duke hoodie and a comment that it was "uncalled for."
Interestingly enough, NC State has set more of its focus on football in the last few decades. It's the women's bball team that has been cranking out success and generating excitement on the hardcourt.
i am a die hard tar heel but i hate NCSU way moreeee than duke duke fans are fun to hang out with and talk trash with state fans are hateful and full of vitriol
Bro how can you do that much research, have that large a budget, and pronounce Raleigh AS RALLY???? you instantly lost all the respect of everyone in NC.
Go Tar Heels Luckily I'm a fan of both carolina and Michigan (MJ and CWebb were my favorite players growing up) so I have the top 2 sports rivalries in sports
Who were you hoping to win in NCAA final between them ( the Webber TO game) ? I can’t imagine being fan of two major schools, but the Fab 5 did create a lot of new Michigan fans in 90’s!
Yall acting like the players that’s on the program actually is from the city or state . Gtfo , no shade y’all repoing the states but don’t act like the talent ain’t from elsewhere
The narrator makes two huge gaffes. One is his inability to correctly pronounce the word “Raleigh”. It is easy to pronounce if you pronounce the first half of the word like you would a college cheer. As in Rah Rah (insert team name next). The second half of the word is pronounced like the man’s name “Lee”. Put the two together and you have “Rah-Lee” or Raleigh. His second brobdingnagian blunder occurs when he tries to pronounce the word “Carolinians”. The proper way to pronounce the word is like saying “Caro- lynn-e-uns”. Practice a bit and he will master it in no time. Btw, he also mispronounces the word “South”. I am guessing he has roots in Canada by the way he says the word. Properly spoken, the word sounds like “Sow (as in a female pig” added to “th” as in the last to letters in the word “tooth”. Easy, right? Fun fact: in our 13 men’s college National Championships is the fact that North Carolina is the only state that has three universities with at least two championships each. North Carolina with 6, Duke with 5 and North Carolina State with 2. The announcer also mispronounces the word “out”. Once again, he must have roots in Canada.
I'd argue that Browns and Ravens is a big rivalry. Louisville and Kentucky is a big one, too. But I'll rank Top 10. 1. Duke vs. UNC 2. Yankees Vs. Red Soxs 3. Bulls vs. Pistons (90s) 4. Alabama vs. Auburn 5. Mets vs. Yankees 6. Louisville vs. Kentucky 7. Florida vs. FSU 8. Ohio State vs. Michigan 9. Texas vs. Oklahoma 10. Packers vs. Vikings Don't know much about Soccer rivalries
Did this guy really compare Duke vs unc to Barcelona vs Real madrid? El classico alone gets 5x more viewers than the superbowl.. this rival goes back to the Spanish Civil War between the Spanish dictator vs anti fascist regimes in Barcelona the tried to erase the Catalonian language from barca. Duke unc doesn't even hold a fraction of the rivalry of El classico
What nonsense are you talking about the francoist team was Barcelona while real was the anti regime team as the representative of the elites nobles and monarchists who saw Franco as unworthy
The origins of the rivalry far precede the civil war being product of the historic Madrid Barcelona rivalry (similar to Boston new York). Both were the biggest teams in Spain (together with espanyol and bilbao) in the early 20th century
He was just giving a comparison to how big a rivalry they have. Of course El Classicó is arguably 1 of top rivalries in World, while Duke-UNC is in US and is college teams, not professional players.
Yes greatly, and as a nc native it is a crucial part of North Carolina culture. I regularly had field trips to the acc tournament. We often fill out brackets in class when March comes around and will often watch the games in class. Duke students literally have to take a test on their knowledge of Duke basketball in order to just wait in line for the Duke unc game (for which they have to camp out side in tents for like 6 weeks if they pass the test). When my mom moved to nc she immediately got told to pick a team (she chose Duke because they performed the best academically). My parent’s first date was a Duke basketball game, so we do care greatly
Yes. When UNC and Duke played in the Final Four in 2022, it got 18.5 million viewers or 5.5% of the US population. That’s absolutely massive for any TV program except the NFL. And since you aren’t American: the Final Four is the semifinal of the NCAA tournament, a 68-team single elimination tournament. It’s like if the FA Cup was played over 3 weeks and decided the league championship.
Damn this guy really compared DUKE UNC to el classico. The world cup will be in America in 2026. It was in my home country in 2010. It’s like nothing you’ll ever see. Tell me, Is DUKE UNC on the same level as Tom Brady, Pat Mahomes Super Bowl in 2021? So how could it be on the same level as Messi, Ronaldo on the same field.
Greatest Rivalry, I think not! It’s up there don’t get me wrong, but the Greatest Rivalry in College is South Carolina and clamson! It’s not just limited to one sport.
@@nottheatf6357You obviously don’t know anything about the rivalry, but that’s ok. The schools count up wins each year in every sport they compete against in. SC consistently dominates the head to head matchups. People forget there’s more than football, even though it’s 1-1 over the last 2 and both won by the visitor. In fact, the SC women’s basketball just won their 15th straight against them, so pretty much everything huh statement doesn’t ring true. The rivalry doesn’t get the exposure, but it’s definitely the most heated rivalry in college, and one of the oldest. When is the last time you heard of a death over any other rivalry? This, unfortunately, is usually something you hear about at least every other year.
@@danielpwalker8421 that is just objectively incorrect no one even fucking talks about the sub Carolina Clemson rivalry in any capacity nationally it’s Alabama auburn and Michigan OSU in football and duke unc in basketball SUB Carolina and Clemson isn’t even in the top ten of the great rivalry’s in any sport it is a regional rivalry not national get real
The el clasico rivalry alone is several times more popular than the Superbowl. and now you try to compare it to a college basketball rivalry😂😂😂😂 you Americans never cease to amaze me
Im glad this video annoyed you, it just speaks to how American culture does not need something extra and extravagant ( European football) to be entertained. It just goes to show how little Americans care about Soccer, so much so that we are willing to compare a rivalry in a single state to one of the biggest European events ever, i rest easy knowing I don’t have to watch soccer. It’s ironic that Europeans claim soccer to be the best thing ever but the fact that Americans simply don’t give a single fuck annoyed the hell outta them and believe me America would much rather watch American football and Basketball rather than grown men run around and cry and throw up when they fall down every 45 seconds in soccer. I think Americans are also grateful that when they go to games they are not at risk of being mugged/tear gassed/beaten by riot police just because they wore a different color than the home team. Again rest easy knowing that Americans care so little about Futball that they would rather watch a bunch of teenagers throw a ball into a hoop for 40 min than watch 22 grown men millionaires run around for 90+ minutes

1. Support for my fellow Pollack, Coach K.
2. Strong dislike for the University of Kansas Chickenhawks, a program that vomited out BOTH Dean Smith and Roy Williams.
3. My podcast got its name from a picture of me wearing a Duke hoodie and a comment that it was "uncalled for."
Interestingly enough, NC State has set more of its focus on football in the last few decades.
It's the women's bball team that has been cranking out success and generating excitement on the hardcourt.
Bc they suck at basketball now
This is great the read 2 months later, has nc state for a short moment is sitting atop the basketball throne in NC for both men’s and women’s
i am a die hard tar heel but i hate NCSU way moreeee than duke duke fans are fun to hang out with and talk trash with state fans are hateful and full of vitriol
wake forest dominance pending
This is not the best rival. It is Michigan Ohio State.
Bro how can you do that much research, have that large a budget, and pronounce Raleigh AS RALLY???? you instantly lost all the respect of everyone in NC.
Iron Bowl #WarEagle 🦅
Let’s be dead ass Alabama dominates that rivalry most games are blowouts
3:44 it is not even in the top 25 in all sports. Typical yankee overhype. It is big but not when compared to other sports
Btw you are saying North Carolinian Wrong
the best rivalry is OSU/TTUN. the states went to war with each other too.
Go pirates! ☠️
That's why they call us the Hoop State, TarHeels!
Raleigh = RAH lee, not “rally”
Dont forget about the Charlotte 49ers
Michigan-Ohio St. >>>>>>>
Go Tar Heels
Luckily I'm a fan of both carolina and Michigan (MJ and CWebb were my favorite players growing up) so I have the top 2 sports rivalries in sports
Who were you hoping to win in NCAA final between them ( the Webber TO game) ?
I can’t imagine being fan of two major schools, but the Fab 5 did create a lot of new Michigan fans in 90’s!
That's why they call us the Hoop State, Tar Heels!
Goes without saying that Duke & UNC owe it to NC State
Lol no
Let’s go Duke
Good video but please don’t mispronounce “North Carolinians”
Ohio state Vs Michigan left the chat
It's not the Golden Triangle, ffs. It's the RESEARCH Triangle. I get that y'all in Canuckistan are still salty about 2006, but come tf on!
You beat me to it. Feels like this guy just looked on Wikipedia for all his info.
ARGGGHHHHH!!☠️
Go PACK!!
Yall acting like the players that’s on the program actually is from the city or state . Gtfo , no shade y’all repoing the states but don’t act like the talent ain’t from elsewhere
The narrator makes two huge gaffes. One is his inability to correctly pronounce the word “Raleigh”. It is easy to pronounce if you pronounce the first half of the word like you would a college cheer. As in Rah Rah (insert team name next). The second half of the word is pronounced like the man’s name “Lee”. Put the two together and you have “Rah-Lee” or Raleigh.
His second brobdingnagian blunder occurs when he tries to pronounce the word “Carolinians”. The proper way to pronounce the word is like saying “Caro- lynn-e-uns”.
Practice a bit and he will master it in no time.
Btw, he also mispronounces the word “South”. I am guessing he has roots in Canada by the way he says the word. Properly spoken, the word sounds like “Sow (as in a female pig” added to “th” as in the last to letters in the word “tooth”. Easy, right?
Fun fact: in our 13 men’s college National Championships is the fact that North Carolina is the only state that has three universities with at least two championships each. North Carolina with 6, Duke with 5 and North Carolina State with 2.
The announcer also mispronounces the word “out”. Once again, he must have roots in Canada.
no love for ohio state michigan as one of the best rivals?
I'd argue that Browns and Ravens is a big rivalry. Louisville and Kentucky is a big one, too. But I'll rank Top 10.
1. Duke vs. UNC
2. Yankees Vs. Red Soxs
3. Bulls vs. Pistons (90s)
4. Alabama vs. Auburn
5. Mets vs. Yankees
6. Louisville vs. Kentucky
7. Florida vs. FSU
8. Ohio State vs. Michigan
9. Texas vs. Oklahoma
10. Packers vs. Vikings
Don't know much about Soccer rivalries
Ohio State - Michigan at 8?
Kentucky Wildcat basketball team have more championship then Duke an north carolina.
Half of those nattys were in the 50s and 40s when there was WAY less talent and expansion
UK has one natty since 2000 sit down and shut up Luke maye is still UKs daddy
If it was so easy to win titles back then why didn't unc and duke win some?@@harp1288
Tar Heels on top

Did this guy really compare Duke vs unc to Barcelona vs Real madrid? El classico alone gets 5x more viewers than the superbowl.. this rival goes back to the Spanish Civil War between the Spanish dictator vs anti fascist regimes in Barcelona the tried to erase the Catalonian language from barca. Duke unc doesn't even hold a fraction of the rivalry of El classico
What nonsense are you talking about the francoist team was Barcelona while real was the anti regime team as the representative of the elites nobles and monarchists who saw Franco as unworthy
The origins of the rivalry far precede the civil war being product of the historic Madrid Barcelona rivalry (similar to Boston new York). Both were the biggest teams in Spain (together with espanyol and bilbao) in the early 20th century
He was just giving a comparison to how big a rivalry they have. Of course El Classicó is arguably 1 of top rivalries in World, while Duke-UNC is in US and is college teams, not professional players.
Maybe it's me not being an American but does anybody care about college basketball 🤔
Yes greatly, and as a nc native it is a crucial part of North Carolina culture. I regularly had field trips to the acc tournament. We often fill out brackets in class when March comes around and will often watch the games in class. Duke students literally have to take a test on their knowledge of Duke basketball in order to just wait in line for the Duke unc game (for which they have to camp out side in tents for like 6 weeks if they pass the test). When my mom moved to nc she immediately got told to pick a team (she chose Duke because they performed the best academically). My parent’s first date was a Duke basketball game, so we do care greatly
everyone in NC KY KS IN cares deeply about college basketball and select markets in other states as well
Yes. When UNC and Duke played in the Final Four in 2022, it got 18.5 million viewers or 5.5% of the US population. That’s absolutely massive for any TV program except the NFL.
And since you aren’t American: the Final Four is the semifinal of the NCAA tournament, a 68-team single elimination tournament. It’s like if the FA Cup was played over 3 weeks and decided the league championship.
Damn this guy really compared DUKE UNC to el classico. The world cup will be in America in 2026. It was in my home country in 2010. It’s like nothing you’ll ever see. Tell me, Is DUKE UNC on the same level as Tom Brady, Pat Mahomes Super Bowl in 2021? So how could it be on the same level as Messi, Ronaldo on the same field.
Greatest Rivalry, I think not! It’s up there don’t get me wrong, but the Greatest Rivalry in College is South Carolina and clamson! It’s not just limited to one sport.
not even close bro SC and clemson doesnt get national coverage and clemson owns SC in pretty much everything its barely a rivalry
@@nottheatf6357You obviously don’t know anything about the rivalry, but that’s ok. The schools count up wins each year in every sport they compete against in. SC consistently dominates the head to head matchups. People forget there’s more than football, even though it’s 1-1 over the last 2 and both won by the visitor. In fact, the SC women’s basketball just won their 15th straight against them, so pretty much everything huh statement doesn’t ring true.
The rivalry doesn’t get the exposure, but it’s definitely the most heated rivalry in college, and one of the oldest. When is the last time you heard of a death over any other rivalry? This, unfortunately, is usually something you hear about at least every other year.
@@danielpwalker8421 in the sports that matter the gamecocks get dominated
@@nottheatf6357attempting to move the goalposts I see! 😂 They ALL matter that’s why it’s the greatest rivalry in college sports.
@@danielpwalker8421 that is just objectively incorrect no one even fucking talks about the sub Carolina Clemson rivalry in any capacity nationally it’s Alabama auburn and Michigan OSU in football and duke unc in basketball SUB Carolina and Clemson isn’t even in the top ten of the great rivalry’s in any sport it is a regional rivalry not national get real
The el clasico rivalry alone is several times more popular than the Superbowl. and now you try to compare it to a college basketball rivalry😂😂😂😂 you Americans never cease to amaze me
Im glad this video annoyed you, it just speaks to how American culture does not need something extra and extravagant ( European football) to be entertained. It just goes to show how little Americans care about Soccer, so much so that we are willing to compare a rivalry in a single state to one of the biggest European events ever, i rest easy knowing I don’t have to watch soccer. It’s ironic that Europeans claim soccer to be the best thing ever but the fact that Americans simply don’t give a single fuck annoyed the hell outta them and believe me America would much rather watch American football and Basketball rather than grown men run around and cry and throw up when they fall down every 45 seconds in soccer. I think Americans are also grateful that when they go to games they are not at risk of being mugged/tear gassed/beaten by riot police just because they wore a different color than the home team.
Again rest easy knowing that Americans care so little about Futball that they would rather watch a bunch of teenagers throw a ball into a hoop for 40 min than watch 22 grown men millionaires run around for 90+ minutes
womp womp, love to see the USA living rent free.. who's your daddy?
The what rivalry?
Who cares about soccer lol
@@Happytarheel7 4 billion people around the world now who cares about American football NFL only Americans🤣🤣🤣 nobody outside the us gives a fuck about it
this sure is an interesting rivalry, but putting it on the same level as any of the world's major footballing rivalries (barca madrid, ajax feyenoord, manchester, liverpool, north london, river boca) is downright absurd
No it’s not
Best rivalry in sports 💯
its not at absurd at all college basketball is just deferent in NC
@@nottheatf6357 basketball period💯
Losing skip prosser was bad for wake
