Duke-UNC: A very looooong-running rivalry

You guys have given up 1,628 points with plenty of time left on the game clock! You call that defense???

Actually, when you've been playing basketball for 40 hours already, it's a miracle anyone has the strength to get the ball to the rim. Check out this wire story on a game between Duke and North Carolina students over the weekend that was set to last 2 1/2 days, which would shatter the Guinness world record. With 33 hours left, the AP's Aaron Beard reports Duke held a comfortable 1,628-1,465 lead.

It was for a good cause, too. Read more at these links for the Duke-Carolina Student Basketball Marathon, Hoop Dreams and Guinness World Records.
