    "2014 Under Armour Elite 24"

    Brandon Ingram has a full day ahead of him on Saturday.

    The 6-foot-9 Ingram, ranked 12th in the country by ESPN.com, will see North Carolina play Georgia Tech at noon in Chapel Hill, N.C., and then will watch Duke host Clemson at 4 p.m. in Durham.

    “Showing the tarheels & blue devils some love tomorrow ????????,” he Tweeted.

    Ingram confirmed by text he plans to see both games.

    Duke, of course, edged North Carolina, 92-90, in overtime on Wednesday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

    Ingram recently told SNY.tv he’s not close to making his college decision and is trying to focus on winning his fourth straight state championship.

    Ingram said he has the best relationship with three in-state coaches, Roy Williams of North Carolina, Mike Krzyzewski of Duke and Mark Gottfried of N.C. State.

    “They’ve been recruiting me my whole high school career,” he said.

    Ingram also broke down all six schools on his list:

    N.C. State: “They have been recruiting me for a really long time. Of course they need a big wing like all the other schools, and I know they’ll put me in a good position. They always talk about the T.J. Warren role, and that would be good for me.”

    North Carolina: “Of course they need a shooter, and I would dive right in. They want me to score the ball.”

    Duke: “They’re a great program with great fans. Good people around campus.”

    Kansas: “It’s a basketball city. I loved it out there when I visited for their Midnight Madness. I love everything about coach Norm Roberts and coach Bill Self.”

    Kentucky: “Just a basketball world. They always have great guys coming.”

    UCLA: “I love everything about the coaches, we have developed great relationships. Plus, it’s California.”
