The North Carolina Tar Heels come into this game having won six of their last eight games. As a team, the Heels are putting up 73.1 points a game and are shooting 43.4 percent from the field and 30.2 percent from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 69.5 and their opponents are shooting 42.5 percent from the field and 35.8 percent from deep. The offense is led by Armando Bacot with 12.6 points and he grabs 7.8 rebounds a game. Garrison Brooks adds 10.6 points and 7.1 rebounds.

The Duke Blue Devils have struggled all season and have split their last 12 games. As a team, the Blue Devils are putting up 74.2 a game and are shooting 45 percent from the field and 32.7 percent from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 70.7 points and their opponents are shooting 45.7 percent from the field and 36.7 percent from deep. The offense is led by Matthew Hurt with 19.6 points and he grabs 8.1 rebounds a game. DJ Steward adds 14 points and five rebounds.

I am going with North Carolina and the points in this one. North Carolina is the tougher and that will show up on the defensive end and in rebounding where the tar Heels have an edge. The Heels also had won six of seven games before losing to Clemson last time out. Duke is tough at home, but they haven't defended the long ball well and don't have the size to matchup with Carolina's bigs. Duke has also covered just twice in their last eight games.

Play on Carolina.
