Sport: College HoopsPick Selection: Duke over NC St.
Take Duke at 7:00 ET. NC State comes in off a no-cover SU win over Georgia Tech; when they have found themselves in that situation, they are 4-14 ATS since 1997 their next time out. Of course, this one is more complicated for them than that. They're going into Cameron Indoor against a Duke team that has won its last nine games by at least ten points. In the last three seasons, when they come off four or more straight ten-point wins, Duke is 11-2 ATS. NC State's offense has struggled on the road, averaging 63.6 ppg and suffering its only two losses away from home. Duke, on the other hand, is rolling, outscoring the opposition by 23.8 ppg and scoring 86.2 ppg in their last five. I like Duke here as a win and cover.
