The famed rivalry between No. 9 Duke and North Carolina is changing. The Tar Heels have a new coach in former UNC player and assistant Hubert Davis after the retirement of Roy Williams. Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski is retiring after the season. Saturday’s matchup marks Krzyzewski’s last trip to face UNC in Chapel Hill.

Davis says he’s more focused on preparing UNC to play well than his head-coaching debut in the rivalry.
