The postponement forced both teams to play four games in eight nights. Duke will have to face Syracuse in two nights.

"The frustrating thing is that you go through all the junk on game day and the stress and everything and then you don't get to play," UNC coach Williams said Wednesday. "So you've got to do it twice for only one game. That's not fair. We did it last week and we'll do it again tomorrow."

North Carolina has won five straight, including a big victory over Pittsburgh five days ago. They followed that with a win over Florida State on Monday.

"We were still pretty confident, we had won a couple going into the first date for the Duke game," UNC sophomore Marcus Paige told ESPN.com. "But I think, yeah, this gives us a little more confidence. The Pitt game was a big game for us. We thought we really got better that game. We're a little more confident, but I know they've been playing well, too."

It is a rough stretch for both teams and conditioning could play a key component.

"We did some conditioning on the couple of days that we had off, just to stay in shape," Duke sophomore Rasheed Sulaimon said after Saturday's win against Maryland. "These next few days we just have to take care of our body, focus on one game at a time, not look ahead, and just really get our reps. This coming week is really going to be a big week for our program."

These two teams will meet again on March 8 at Duke.
