<P> The rivalry has been the subject of various books and articles, including To Hate Like This Is to Be Happy Forever by Blythe and Blue Blood by Art Chansky . </P> <P> Further illustrating the intensity of the rivalry, U.S. Representative Brad Miller, a die - hard Carolina fan, told an Associated Press writer in 2012, "I have said very publicly that if Duke was playing against the Taliban, then I'd have to pull for the Taliban ." </P> <P> The two teams have never met in the NCAA Tournament, though they have met once in the 1971 National Invitation Tournament, with North Carolina winning 73--67 in the semifinals at Madison Square Garden . </P> <P> In 1991, the teams came within one game of playing each other for the national championship, as both advanced to that year's Final Four at the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis . Chansky writes in Blue Blood that Carolina fans chanted "0 - for - 4!" at the Duke fans, while Duke responded with "Long time, no see!" In the first semifinal, North Carolina was upset 79--73 by a Kansas team coached by Roy Williams, who would later return to Chapel Hill to take the head coaching job . Some Duke fans had already arrived for their team's game by the time Dean Smith was ejected for arguing with the officials, and Chansky writes that they were ecstatic at the ejection, waving their hands and yelling, "See ya!" as they normally did at Cameron for a player or coach who was ejected or in foul trouble . </P>
