North Carolina vs. Duke Prediction

This is the biggest rivalry in college hoops, dating all the way back to 1920.

North Carolina leads the all-time series 143-117.

The rivalry is even better when the two teams are playing at a high level.

Both teams are legitimate championship contenders this year.

North Carolina blew Duke out in their first meeting in Chapel Hill.

Revenge will be on the mind of the Blue Devils on senior night.

North Carolina comes into this contest ranked fifth in the nation with a record.

The Tar Heels are currently projected to be a number two seed in March Madness.

There is a path for the Heels to jump up to a number one seed with a win and a strong ACC Tournament.

UNC has been playing well lately winning their last 10 games.

Head coach Hubert Davis took the Heels to the National Championship game in his first season. Last year was much more disappointing, as the Heels missed out on the tournament altogether.

RJ Davis has been one of the best players in college hoops this year. Davis leads the team with 21.5 points per game.

Big man Armando Bacot has averaged a double/double this season, scoring 14.0 points while ripping down 10.2 rebounds.

Stanford transfer Harrison Ingram has been great in his year in Chapel Hill, adding 12.5 points and 9.2 rebounds per game.

The Heels offense has averaged 81.5 points per game while giving up 69.8.

Duke begins this game ranked ninth in the nation with a record of 24-6.

The Blue Devils conference record of 15-4 is the second-best in the ACC.

Duke made a run to the Sweet 16 a season ago, where the Tennessee Volunteers bounced them.

Sophomore Kyle Filipowski leads the Blue Devils with 16.5 points and 8.1 rebounds.

Senior Jeremy Roach has been solid for the Blue Devils with 14.3 points and 3.1 assists.

Freshman Jared McCain has added 13.4 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. McCain is projected to be a late first-round pick.

North Carolina vs. Duke Prediction

We took the Heels the first time around and home, and we see a similar line tonight.

This is a Duke line tonight.

It is a tough spot for North Carolina to beat Duke two times in the same season.

The Blue Devils have been outstanding at home, with a record of 15-2.
