Why NC State is a Good Bet Versus Duke
Versus Marquette and Texas Tech, the Wolfpack rocked. NC State also rocked North Carolina and Duke in 2 of their final 4 regular season games. The win against Duke came in a 74-69 contest where NC State held the Blue Devils to 43% from the field and 25% from three.
If the Wolfpack plays that type of defense on Sunday, forget it. NC State will roll into the Final Four with a great chance of upsetting either Purdue or Tennessee.

Why Duke is a Good Bet Versus NC State
This Duke squad is different than the one that lost to NC State in one of their final games of the season. Duke has improved in every facet of the game.
The most improvement has been on the defensive end of the court. The Dookies gave up 84 against North Carolina and 74 versus NC State in back-to-back losses. But in the Big Dance, Vermont scored 47, James Madison dropped 55, and Houston scored 51.
The issue North Carolina State is going to have with this Duke squad is that if required, Duke can run up and down the court.

Final Betting Analysis: 11-NC State vs 4-Duke Blue Devils
On paper, Duke should win and cover. The Blue Devils will have the most unique player on the court in Kyle Filipowski. But Duke is going to struggle in this game.
NC State held Marquette, one of the sharpest shooting teams in the NCAA Tournament, to a ridiculous 12.9% from the three point line. The Wolfpack know how to defend Duke’s three point shooters.
If Filipowski goes out to take a three point shot, NC State will be there to defend. Also, the Wolfpack’s DJ Horne is unstoppable. Versus Marquette, Horne paced his mates with 19 points as the Wolfpack punished the Golden Eagles by shooting 46.4% from the field and close to 40% from three.
J. Shead had to leave the game for Houston, which is the main reason Duke scored the win. NC State has been blasting opponents. Give the Wolfpack another in a small upset victory.
