From the blog of Heather Dinich (ESPN’s ACC Blog) here is the injury report for both North Carolina and Duke for the upcoming game between the two rivals. Just a quick look and you see how many more players are out for the Tar Heels than for the Blue Devils. I am not going to blame the injury bug for UNC’s record, but sometimes you do have to wonder just a bit “what if” this team hadn’t had all the players go down that it did. Could those players have gained a win (or more) for head coach Butch Davis? The truth is that we will never know that, so, without further interruptions here is the list of the players that the two programs have listed on their injury report…
