Analysis:  The NC State Wolfpack finished the regular season with a 5-1 run and have followed that up with a solid win over Pittsburgh last night. The Wolfpack are now 20-12 on the year and and they may have grabbed the win that will get them in the Big Dance. The Wolfpack have gone 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record and 23-8-1 ATS in their last 32 neutral site games. NC State has been a decent offensive team this year, as they come in ranked 87th in scoring (70.9 ppg), 150th in shooting (40.0%), 89th in 3 point shooting (36.3%) and 206th in FT shooting (68.5%). Defensively the Wolfpack has been decent, ranking 140th in points allowed (65.1 ppg), 37th in defensive FG% (39.9%) and 117th in 3 point defense (33.0%).

The Duke Blue Devils come in to the tournament having won 11 games in a row, which includes a road win over Virginia, a 30 point home win over Notre Dame and 2 wins over North Carolina. The Blue Devils are now 28-3 overall, which includes a 15-3 mark in the ACC. Duke is the number two seed in this tournament and may be in line for a number 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Blue Devils have gone 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, but just 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS win. Duke has been a very good offensive team, as they come in ranked 3rd in scoring (81.3 ppg), 3rd in shooting (50.2%), 20th in 3 point shooting (39.2%) and 181st in FT shooting (69.1%). Defensively the Blue Devils have been rather average, ranking 146th in points allowed (65.7 ppg), 173rd in defensive FG% (43.0%) and 77th in 3 point defense (32.3%).

Pick: Lets go with the Over in this one. The Over is 16-4-1 ATS the last 21 in the series, while the Over is 16-4 in NC State's last 20 vs a team with a winning record. The Blue Devils have been an excellent offensive team this year, averaging 81.3 ppg on the year and NC State can be scored on as hey allowed 70 points yesterday to a weak Pittsburgh offense. The NC State offense has looked better of late as they have scored 152 points in their last 2 games. The three is a big part of both offenses and both are good at it. The teams put 162 points in their earlier matchup this year and while this one may not hit that number, I can see the game being played in the 150s.
