Catch Blue Blood II: Duke-Carolina: The Latest On The Never-Ending And Greatest Rivalry In College Hoops Curated By Art Chansky Rendered As Print

but feels jumpy as the timeline skips all over the place, A well researched and written book by Art Chansky on the Duke/North Carolina basketball rivalry in a sequel if you will to thebook.
This book covers the years since then, but even though it's not Chansky's fault, I just couldn't get into

the book as much as the first one, because of the state of the college game.
In the first book that covers thes through's, both teams had players that for the most part, stayed four years, In this book, most of the players leave after one year at their school, so you don't get to know them, And once you do, they're gone to the NBA, So the descriptions of epic games and tournament wins and losses by each team is very good by Chansky, but he can't take you inside the minds of players that much except for maybe Hansborough, Sheldon Williams, Grayson Allen a little.
If a fan of college basketball or Duke/North Carolina, you'll enjoy, but the first book is much better, good information to know once you move to north carolina, would have wanted to have read the first book as this one was pretty repetitive year after year and not very story like A followup to Blue Blood that tells the recent history of the DukeCarolina college basketball rivalry

When Art Chansky's Blue Blood was published in, ESPNs Dick Vitale said it was about “the greatest rivalry, not just in college basketball, but in all of sports” and the book was hailed by The East Carolinan as the “holy text for both sides of the rivalry.
” Now,years later, Chansky revisits the fiercest college basketball rivalry,

Since, DukeCarolina has been a study of rival recruiting philosophies, disparate playing styles, classic game encounters, coaching milestones, AllAmerican and NBA draft draft picks galore, plus off thecourt drama, and most recently, the ultimate question of who will be the next caretakers to this national treasure.


Winning more Atlantic Coast Conference and NCAA championships than the rest of the ACC combined made Duke and UNC the true blue bloods of basketball.
When the prequel to this book was published in, few fans thought the passionate backyard battle could get any better, but the lastyears have added new colors and different fabrics to the mosaic that is the remaining virtue of the college games regular season, which for everyone else is now a qualifying run to the NCAA tournament and March Madness.


Chansky brings all of these details to light, making Blue Blood II a musthave followup for Duke and UNC fans, and college basketball fans in general.
