The public is on the under. Both Duke and UNC split in their four games in the tournament so far. I think I'm fading the public here. During the regular season both games these two teams went to the over and it wasn't particularly close. On March 5, they cleared the 153.5 number by 21.5 points and on February 5, they cleared 152.5 by 1.5 points. Give me the over here.
