Basically no one is giving North Carolina a chance to take down Duke on Saturday. Across the country, the assumption is that the Blue Devils are going to cruise to a win and that revenge is going to arrive after the Tar Heels stunned Jon Scheyer and Co. earlier this season.

UNC's Caleb Wilson injury decision just made easier thanks to Miami

Think Seth Trimble cares about the outside noise? Not a chance. This week, Trimble said goodbye to Chapel Hill on Senior Night, but he was also of course asked about the regular season finale. Per Trimble, this team has what it takes to post a win and stun everyone. This is the kind of message UNC fans needed to see right now:

"Just to get another win, just to get another win," Trimble said on his mindset for Saturday. "Winning there is hard, it's a very historic venue and they have a great home-court advantage. But, if you look at history, if there's one team that can go in there and get a win, it's North Carolina."

Trimble didn't hold back there and it's exactly how he and his teammates should be feeling. Whenever these two teams face off, everything can be thrown out the window. This is one of the best rivalry games in all of sports and rankings never matter.

This was the case not long ago when North Carolina shocked Duke, with Trimble's epic 3-pointer being something that's still celebrated all over campus. Come this week, UNC will once again have its back against the wall, but this group is ready to push full throttle to record a victory.

The million-dollar question is will Caleb Wilson be able to suit up? The freshman is still dealing with his left hand injury, but Davis left the door open for him to play. If Wilson does give it a go, it will help the Heels in their efforts to take down Duke. If he's out, however, Trimble, Henri Veesaar and others won't let that impact their mindset and North Carolina will still do everything possible to ruin Duke's night.
