Of course it’s Chapel Hill: College GameDay is coming to UNC for Duke rivalry matchup

This is by far one of the least surprising pieces of news you'll hear all day:

College GameDay is coming to Chapel Hill, North Carolina!

The College GameDay crew will be live from the Dean Smith Center ahead of Round 1 of the greatest rivalry in all of college sports: Duke vs. North Carolina.

The rivalry that always delivers!

Typically, College GameDay has made a habit of being on-site for both meetings between these two historic programs. These two meetings serve as some of the handful of games that college basketball fans around the world circle on their calendars when the schedules get revealed.

With another chapter of the rivalry set to renew, the crew will be on-hand for a two-hour special.

A new element to the rivalry

All eyes will be on the two current stars who will take part in the rivalry for the first time: Cameron Boozer and Caleb Wilson.

Boozer has been outstanding throughout his true freshman season at Duke, and this will likely be the only time he plays in the historic Dean Smith Center. Tar Heel fans know just how good Caleb Wilson has been. As you know, he'll have a lot to prove in what will likely be his lone home game against the Blue Devils.

We've seen plenty of times when the veterans lead the charge for both teams, but this year, the star power on both sides comes from arguably the best freshmen class we've seen in quite some time.

College GameDay is no stranger to Chapel Hill

For the 14th time, North Carolina will host the popular show, tying Duke for the most by any school in the country. It also marks the 30th time that College GameDay covered a game in which the Tar Heels are playing.

Fans are encouraged to attend GameDay. Smith Center doors will open at 8:30 a.m., and lines may form as early as 7:30 a.m.  UNC students should use Entrance C to the arena, and the public should use Entrance D.  Admission for this event is free, and seating is general admission in Sections 104-114.
