The Tobacco Road rivalry writes its next chapter when the No. 8 North Carolina Tar Heels (25-4) take on the No. 16 Duke Blue Devils (21-7). These two teams faced each other back in January, with Duke coming out on top in overtime. North Carolina holds a slight edge (56-53) over Duke in the all-time series.

2025 has been a good year for the Tar Heels. North Carolina is 12-2 in the new year and has won seven consecutive games. One of those wins came over NC State, who just knocked off Notre Dame. Meanwhile, the Duke Blue Devils have gotten sidetracked the past week, with two losses in three games. However, Duke heads into the North Carolina matchup having recently defeated Syracuse.

Florida State vs. Notre Dame: How to watch, results, and highlights

Hannah Hidalgo stands on the court for Notre Dame.

It's a battle of the nation's top scorers as Ta’Niya Latson and the No. 24 Florida State Seminoles (22-6) battle Hannah Hidalgo and the No. 3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (24-3). Latson and Hidalgo average 26.2 and 24.7 points per game, respectively. This will be the only regular-season matchup between the Seminoles and the Irish.
The Seminoles are playing their best basketball of the season, having won three straight. With Latson lighting up the scoreboard, Florida State is a team that could be dangerous come March. On the other sideline, the Irish lost to NC State in double overtime this past weekend. It was Notre Dame's first loss since November 30. The loss might be a blessing in disguise.
Thursday's game could be a preview of an ACC Tournament semifinal matchup. Find out how to watch the game featuring the Seminoles and Fighting Irish, including the start time, channel, and streaming options. For more coverage, check out our NCAA women's basketball March to the Madness.

LSU vs. Alabama: How to watch, results, and highlights

Conference play is almost done, but a few regular-season games remain. Aneesah Morrow and the No. 7 LSU Tigers (27-2) hit the road to play Sarah Ashlee Barke and the No. 20 Alabama Crimson Tide (22-6). This will be the only meeting between the two rivals in the regular season.
After losing to Texas on February 16, the LSU Tigers have won two consecutive games, including Sunday's game against Kentucky. LSU's Morrow, Flau'Jae Johnson, and Mikaylah Williams might be the best trio in the country. Alabama also has a three-headed monster in Barke, Zaay Green, and Aaliyah Nye. The Crimson Tide enters Thursday's game having won five of their last six games.
LSU and Alabama will be playing in the NCAA Tournament in the next month. Find out how to watch the game between LSU and Alabama, including the start time, channel, and streaming options. Read our NCAA women's basketball March to the Madness guide for more coverage.

Liverpool vs. Newcastle: How to watch, results, and highlights

The view of Anfield from the sky at Liverpool.

Liverpool (19-7-1, 64 points) is starting to separate from the rest of the pack. Entering Wednesday, the Reds hold an 11-point lead over second-place Arsenal. Newcastle United (13-5-8, 44 points) is not so far behind the Gunners. While Newcastle's chances of winning the Premier League are slim, the Magpies are in contention for a Champions League qualifying spot.
In Liverpool's last match, Arne Slot's team defeated Manchester City 2-0. While not official, that game essentially ended City's chances of a fifth consecutive Premier League title. Newcastle United has not won a league title since 1926–27. That streak will likely continue, but Newcastle still has much to play for with about a dozen games left.
Find out how to watch the match between Liverpool and Newcastle, with information about the start time, channel, and live stream. Visit Digital Trends' Premier League guide for more Premier League coverage.
