UNC and Duke women's basketball are carrying the torch of a century's long rivalry into their first ever March Madness meeting.

The Duke and North Carolina women have faced each other 110 times, including 16 games on a neutral court, but they’ve never played in the NCAA Tournament — until Friday.

Duke-UNC is the only conference rivalry in the Sweet 16, but not the only conference rematch. Tennessee and Texas, in its first SEC season, will play on Saturday in the Birmingham 3 regional. If the bracket goes chalk, SEC regular season co-champions Texas and South Carolina would meet in the Final Four as would Big Ten newcomers UCLA and USC.
