No. 9 Duke basketball (18-3, 8-2) will look to snap a two-game losing streak to UNC (16-6, 8-3) on Saturday in the first matchup between Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski and Tar Heels' new head coach, Hubert Davis.

In his illustrious coaching career, Coach K has a 49-46 record against UNC. A win on the road against the Tar Heels in the Dean E. Smith Center this weekend would be win No. 50 for him in the historic rivalry.

Will the Blue Devils deliver for Coach K in his final season at the helm? Or will Davis' roster pull off an upset at home?
