Former North Carolina star Tyler Hansbrough takes swipe at Duke after Blue Devils advance to Elite Eight

Nick Wright joins Colin Cowherd to discuss all four No. 1 seeds making the Sweet 16 and the lack of a Cinderella run in this year’s March Madness tournament.

Tyler Hansbrough's loyalty to the North Carolina Tar Heels remains unwavering. 

The former UNC basketball star hopes his alma mater's top rival, Duke, will come up short in its next game in the NCAA Tournament.

Duke survived against Arizona in the Sweet 16 Thursday. Cooper Flagg finished the 100-93 victory with a team-high 30 points. The win also punched the Blue Devils' ticket to the Elite Eight, where they will meet the second-seeded Alabama Crimson Tide. 

If Hansbrough gets his way, Alabama will eliminate Duke from the tournament Saturday.
