ESPN College GameDay host Rece Davis was at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Friday. Here's what he said about UNC basketball and head coach Hubert Davis.

UNC is reeling. Duke is rolling. The blue-bloods are heading in opposite directions, and that puts even more pressure on UNC coach Hubert Davis.

North Carolina coach Hubert Davis chose to downplay the significance of his team's Saturday showdown at No. 2 Duke following the Tar Heels' dispiriting 73-65 loss at Pittsburgh on Tuesday night. The defeat was UNC's third in its last four games and raises the stakes of the upcoming rivalry game for a team that is scrambling to assemble an NCAA Tournament resume.

Davis also receives an annual expense allowance of $50,000 to be used for entertainment and “other appropriate purposes to advance the program,” $500,000 annually as part of North Carolina’s multimedia rights agreement with Learfield Communications and $250,000 per year from the school’s deal with Nike.

For UNC, the late collapse Tuesday night at Pitt was “kind of like the same movie over and over again,” RJ Davis said. The Tar Heels are becoming familiar with an uncomfortable new reality.

UNC basketball coach Hubert Davis had a press conference on Thursday at the Smith Center to preview Saturday's Duke game and discuss the Tar Heels.
