Duke Blue Devils (27-8) vs NC State Wolfpack (25-14)
Sunday, March 31, 2024 at 5:05 pm
At 5:05 pm, our selection is on the Duke Blue Devils minus the points over NC State. The Blue Devils sent #1-seeded Houston packing on Friday night. And teams that eliminated #1 seeds have gone on to a sweet 18-6 ATS record in the Elite 8 Round. Over the first three rounds of the tourney, the Blue Devils have covered the spread by an average of 14.83 ppg. I won't step in front of Duke here, and especially not when it's playing with revenge from a 74-69 defeat in the ACC Tournament. Key stat: NC State is a woeful 1-7 ATS when installed as an underdog vs. an opponent it upset in the season's prior meeting. Lay the points with the Blue Devils. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
