DUKE (-8) over N.C. State
7 p.m. ET
Part of the “Steam Team’s” winning day on Wednesday was N.C. State (-3.5) in an easy 81-70 victory over Pittsburgh, but today we’ll fade the Wolfpack. Earlier this season, Duke lost for the just the fourth time in 35 meetings between these schools and got knocked from the unbeaten ranks. N.C. State shot a blistering 55% in the win, including 10-of-16 from 3-point land, and the loss didn’t sit well with Coach K, who questioned his team’s toughness after the game. So, look for Duke — winners of 11 straight — to be fully focused and ready to get their revenge tonight. Lay the points with the rested Blue Devils.
