Just a few hours before tip-off, the word came out at 5:40pm that the bus that was supposed to pick up the Duke team to take them to the Chapel Hill campus was unable to make it as scheduled.

No matter what time the game is played, the wildly unpredictable weather only adds an extra layer of intrigue to what is always one of the most exciting match-ups of the year.
