Ron's Sunday College Basketball Bank Shot Best Bet

Duke Blue Devils (27-8) vs NC State Wolfpack (25-14)

Sunday, March 31, 2024 at 5:05 pm

I think the Cinderella run ends here for N.C. State. Duke is improving its defense at the right time as the two-point defense has been outstanding in the tourney and there is no surprise to see the Blue Devils hold each of their first three opponents to under 60 points. Sure, Duke has been very fortunate with the draw it has had in this tourney as it gets to face its third double-digit seed thus far, but the Blue Devils are taking care of what is in front of them and I think this game will be one-sided early. Duke may have lost to the Wolfpack in the ACC Tournament but that was in a game where the Blue Devils shot sub-60% from the FT line and 25% from three. Duke is a sharp-shooting team and we should see a much stronger offensive performance here. I look for this game to end up like the regular season game between these two, which was a 15-point true road win for Duke. Give me Duke here.
