CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- North Carolina wants a division title. North Carolina State simply wants a bowl invitation.When these neighborhood rivals play Friday, the only thing for certain is that itll be a tough day for the losers -- whose pursuit of their biggest remaining goal will be denied by the team they dislike the most.Id say its a great rivalry, UNC coach Larry Fedora said. Its unique because your fans interact year round -- theyre always around each other. They work together. Im sure that some of them are friends.Probably not on gameday, though.Tar Heels cornerback Des Lawrence says theres a bit more chirping between his team and the Wolfpack, and theres extra talk. That amps things up.So do the stakes.The Tar Heels (8-3, 5-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) enter the final week of the regular season still in the hunt for a Coastal Division title and a repeat berth in the ACC championship game, but they need to beat N.C. State and get some help from Virginia, which faces Virginia Tech the following day.The situation is a bit more dire for the Wolfpack (5-6, 2-5), whose season was marked by close losses to a pair of highly ranked teams -- Clemson and Florida State -- and also befuddling losses to East Carolina and Boston College, two teams with a combined record of 8-14. A win over North Carolina will make them bowl eligible, while a loss will keep them home for the second time in coach Dave Doerens four seasons.Theres been a lot of opportunities that we havent capitalized on, but what hasnt happened is, no one here has backed down, no one here has turned on each other, no one here has gotten negative, Doeren said. I just want our fans to know, we know you want better results, and so do we, but were never going to quit fighting and believing in what were doing.---Some other things to know about the N.C. State-North Carolina rivalry:LAST GAME: This will be the last game for 16 North Carolina seniors -- and maybe for QB Mitch Trubisky, too. The redshirt junior says he hasnt decided whether to enter the NFL Draft early after a season in which he has thrown for 3,188 yards and 25 touchdowns with an efficiency rating of 162.24 -- ranking in the top 15 nationally in each stat category. Ive waited three years just to basically play one year, and its gone by so fast, Trubisky said.ALL DAYES: N.C. State RB Matt Dayes will look for more yards against a North Carolina run defense that has been leaky. Dayes already as the 11th 1,000-yard season in program history -- the first since T.A. McClendon in 2002 -- and is third in the ACC in rushing with 1,015 yards. UNC ranks last in the ACC against the run, allowing more than 233 yards per game.SWITZER LAND: North Carolina WR Ryan Switzer is 189 yards shy of Hakeem Nicks 8-year-old school record for career yards receiving, having already set the school record with 226 receptions. Switzer averages 77.8 yards receiving, so its possible Nicks record could fall in the Tar Heels bowl game.KEY STAT: The team with more yards rushing has gone on to win 21 of the last 24 meetings in the series. The exceptions have come in 2004, 2009 and 2013. North Carolina rushed for 374 yards in last years victory in Raleigh.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.orgHarold Ramirez Jersey .

By allowing Noppert just two efforts at a double in the remainder of the match, the Scot was able to string together five consecutive legs to build a crucial lead. From 9-6 down, a brilliant 107 check-out showed Noppert still had some resolve and he forced a shoot-out which Anderson pinched. Noppert broke with a 164 check-out on the bull Raymond van Barneveld ended the run of the BDOs No 1 player, Glen Durrant, with a 10-7 victory and will play Anderson next.
