It is hard to get much better than No. 4 Duke (27-3, 13-2) versus No. 13 North Carolina (23-6, 13-2) for the Atlantic Coast Conference title in the final regular season game for both. Action starts between the rivals in Chapel Hill at 9:00PM EST.
Oddsmakers and online sports book Sportsbook.com have put the contest as a pick’em. According to the latest trends, Duke is 3-2 against the spread versus North Carolina over the last three seasons. Four of the last five games in this series have gone under the total over the last three seasons.
Duke’s 79-73 victory at Cameron Indoor Stadium over North Carolina on Feb. 9 gave the Blue Devils the inside edge at the ACC regular season title, but a loss last week to Virginia Tech coupled with a six-game winning streak by the Tar Heels has brought the two sides even in the conference.
Junior center Tyler Zeller leads North Carolina with a 14.6 points per game average, while freshman sensation Harrison Barnes averages 13.6 ppg. Duke’s Nolan Smith leads his squad at 21.3 points per game, while Kyle Singler puts in 17.4 ppg.
In other top-25 action, Pittsburgh hosts Villanova at 4:00PM EST needing only a win to wrap up the outright Big East Conference regular season title. Pittsburgh is a 9.5-point favorite. Kansas travels to Missouri for a 12:00PM EST start. The Jayhawks are 3-point favorites. Texas also plays on the road as it travels to Baylor at 9:00PM EST. Texas is a 4-point favorite.
