After a long and hard fought ACC season, we are now one game away from the end of the regular season.

The North Carolina Tar Heels can clinch an outright ACC title with a win Saturday against their rivals from Durham, who they lost to in early February.

Duke, who was penciled in by many to be ACC Champs and the favorite to win the NCAA Tournament, has had a disappointing year, surrounded by injuries as well as the “indefinite” one-game suspension for Grayson Allen.

Through all of that has emerged a star in Luke Kennard. He has become the leader of the Blue Devils and their most consistent player.

Within the matchup, is another matchup that everyone needs to keep their eyes on. The ACC Player of the Year will be settled. Luke Kennard vs Justin Jackson.

Though we already know a lot about Duke, let’s take a closer look inside the makeup of their team.
