                                THE GAME OF THE WEEK


          without a doubt must be considered #1 North Carolina hosting  #3  Duke
     to open their new arena in Chapel Hill.  Both teams could be going into the
     game undefeated; this could be a preview of the national championship.  UNC
     has  dominated  many opponents this season (but was an 84 point win against
     Manhattan a sportsman-like gesture), but has had a weaker  schedule.   Duke
     won  the inaugural Big Apple NIT, including a victory over #9 St. John's in
     New York City (Isn't it interesting that  in  the  week  they  lost  to  an
     unranked  team they moved up one spot in the polls by beating the team that
     lost the #1 draft pick last year?).  At the  end  of  December  there  were
     three  teams  in  the Top Twenty, each with one loss to Duke as a result of
     that tournament.  I expect a tough game here with UNC coming out on top  by
     three, possibly with the score down in the 60's.

     I also expect that I will eat my words next Monday.
