The Duke Blue Devils stumbled at Virginia Tech to open the door for this game to decide the conference champion. Duke bounced back with a home win over the Clemson Tigers earlier in the week. The other two losses for the Blue Devils have come to Florida State and St. John’s; both on the road. The Blue Devils are led by Nolan Smith and Kyle Singler. The combination are averaging over 38 points per game, while Singler is the second leading rebounder on the team, and Smith is the top assist man. Duke ranks ninth in the nation in total offense, as they are scoring just shy of 82 points per game. Duke will be making their 35 NCAA tournament this March. They are looking for back-to-back trips to the Final Four, and their 16th overall.

The line for this game is a pick’em. The first game Duke was the big time favorite, and North Carolina led through most of the game. The Blue Devils went on a huge run and won the game. This time the venue has changed, and North Carolina is playing good basketball. We like the home team to come away with the win and claim the conference title. Our pick – North Carolina (0) to beat Duke on Saturday night.
