Volume 4: Final Four Regulars
Many college basketball fans under 40 believe the Duke-Carolina rivalry began in the 1980s, when Mike Krzyzewski arrived in Durham and built a powerhouse program to rival what Dean Smith had been doing at Carolina for almost 20 years.
The 1980s were, however, the years the rivalry moved off Tobacco Road and across the nation, thanks to television. Since 1986, every Duke-Carolina game has been on national TV, whether ESPN, CBS or ABC. In fact, ESPN2 was launched on the power of Duke-Carolina, as fans outside of the ACC had to subscribe to The Deuce to get the first Duke-Carolina game in 1994.
Since 1986, every Duke-Carolina game has been on national TV; Duke was the opponent when Carolina’s opened the $32 million Dean Smith Center, and former coach-turned-broadcaster Al McGuire named the “Cameron Crazies” during the second game of the 1986 season (Robert Crawford)
But true historians of the rivalry know it dated back to before the ACC was formed in 1953, when Duke All-American Dick Groat set season and career scoring records against the Tar Heels in the final games of the 1951 and ’52 seasons. In fact, it was Duke reacting to the hiring of Frank McGuire by UNC (which had reacted to the hiring of Everett Case by N.C. State) that brought young Vic Bubas to Durham as the coach of the Blue Devils in 1959.
And the first thing Bubas did was steal heralded Long Island recruit Art Heyman away from McGuire and Carolina, which set the stage for a decade of dominance by both schools. In the 1960s alone, Duke and Carolina each went to three NCAA Final Fours and played in one national championship game, both losing to UCLA as John Wooden and the Bruins were on their way to 10 national championships.
When Heyman joined the Duke varsity in 1961, the Blue Devils were coming off a surprise ACC Tournament championship in Bubas’ rookie year.
