In a recent match against the Sooners, the Tar Heels secured a victory with 61 points to 52. Their defense was particularly impressive, with five blocks and three steals contributing to this win. However, they also had a high turnover rate with twenty-three turnovers during the game. Despite these turnovers, they managed an almost fifty percent success rate in two-point attempts and dominated in rebounds with forty-nine total rebounds.

Another notable performance was against Western Carolina Catamounts where they showcased an overwhelming offensive display scoring ninety-six points while conceding only thirty-six. Their shooting accuracy was on point with sixty percent for two-point attempts and fifty-two percent overall field goal percentage. The team's defensive prowess was evident as well; they amassed sixteen steals and seven blocks.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for the Tar Heels as they faced a tough challenge from UConn Huskies where despite putting up sixty-four points, they fell short by twelve points in that encounter. Turnovers continued to be an area of concern as they gave up nineteen possessions.

The upcoming game is set at Cameron Indoor Stadium – a venue known for its intense atmosphere which could play into Duke's hands as home advantage often proves pivotal in close encounters.

Fans can expect North Carolina to focus on reducing turnovers while leveraging their strong rebounding ability and inside scoring presence that has served them well so far this season. It will be crucial for them to maintain solid defense without fouling excessively – balancing aggression with discipline will be key.

The highly anticipated matchup is scheduled for February 11th at 7:00 PM Eastern Time at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, NC. Fans can catch all the action live as it unfolds on local sports networks or streaming platforms dedicated to college basketball coverage.
