In an article, Inside Carolina wrote "according to ESPN analyst Jay Williams, former President Barack Obama is expected to attend the UNC/Duke game in Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham."
"I like him, but if he's coming to the game...I'm sorry Mr. President, I will not be looking at you," UNC basketball coach Roy Williams said in a news conference Monday, in regards to the rumors.
He said that a lot of celebrities attend the games, even mentioning that Donald Trump attended once, before he was president.
"I never know who's coming. I try not to let that be what I'm thinking of," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski told reporters in his news conference Tuesday.
University officials have not formally said whether Obama will be in attendance.
