Supporters of the University of North Carolina Tar Heels and the Duke Blue Devils are preparing for another highly-anticipated game between the two teams, both currently ranked in the top 10, taking place on Saturday.

Many supporters of UNC are currently assembled at Top of the Hill located in downtown Chapel Hill, prepared to celebrate and make their way to Franklin Street if the Tar Heels are able to secure a win, as they did in their previous matchup back in February.

According to fans of UNC who spoke to WRAL News, they eagerly anticipate the two annual rivalry matches, regardless of the weather on Saturdays.

The “Cameron Crazies” lived up to their name as they displayed a variety of attire and costumes.
