The calendar has officially turned to February, and that means Duke-North Carolina is officially around the corner on the hardwood. ESPN College Basketball Analyst Paul Biancardi joined Kyle Bailey as he previewed the matchup and looked at the red-hot Hornets.

When breaking down Saturday’s matchup between North Carolina and Duke, Paul pointed out that one of the biggest keys is limiting the amount of points the Duke backcourt puts on the board, and with Cam Boozer, you try and play him straight up and make him earn his points, while not making him a passer, because that adds another element to the Duke offense, which Paul believes the Heels can do all while trying to put as many points on the board against the rugged Blue Devil defense.

Paul would go on to break down the red-hot Hornets, as well as the Charlotte 49ers, going on a run in the American Conference.
