UNC vs. Duke Betting Preview - ACC Tournament Semifinal March 14
With much of the betting public backing North Carolina, this is likely to have contributed to the line having dropped from Duke -9 to -7 in Friday's ACC Tournament Semifinal game. Then there is the potential of Cooper Flagg not playing.
The Blue Devils have gone 20-1 against ACC opponents, with a 9-2 record in non-conference play. Duke is first in the ACC with 17.0 assists per game led by Cooper Flagg averaging 4.1.
The Tar Heels' record in ACC play is 15-7. North Carolina is second in the ACC scoring 81.1 points per game and is shooting 47.6%.
Duke averages 83.3 points, 8.3 more per game than the 75.0 North Carolina gives up. North Carolina averages 8.0 made 3-pointers per game this season, 1.1 more made shots on average than the 6.9 per game Duke allows.
The teams play each other for the third time this season. Duke won the last matchup 82-69 on March 8. Kon Knueppel scored 17 to help lead Duke to the victory, and RJ Davis scored 20 points for North Carolina.
Top players, of course, include Flagg of Duke.
The All-American freshman suffered a sprained ankle in the first half of the Blue Devils' win over Georgia Tech in the ACC quarterfinals. It is unknown how long he will be out, but Duke coach Jon Scheyer sounded very pessimistic that he would be able to play in Friday's semifinal against North Carolina.
