Wednesday Night Should Be Awkward



On Wednesday night at 9pm, we will witness the latest chapter in the best rivalry in all of college sports - Duke vs. UNC. There will be many headlines for the game, but my favorite will be the relationship between the Rivers family and Dexter Strickland. Below are the facts:

1) Austin Rivers (son of Doc Rivers) is likely the ACC Freshman of the Year and starting point guard for Duke.
2) Dexter Strickland is a junior shooting guard for UNC who started for the first half of the season before tearing his ACL.
3) Callie Rivers is Austin Rivers' sister.
4) Callie Rivers dates Dexter Strickland.
5) Wednesday's game is at UNC.

Something tells me that Austin's first game in the Dean Dome will be slightly awkward - I expect the fans will remind him early and often about what's going on off the court. I hope to see some Callie Rivers Big Heads in the stands...
