Free Betting Pick: North Carolina Tar Heels -1
Virginia was exposed by the Duke offense in their previous outing, but it will only get worse in this one as UNC can really shoot the ball especially from behind the arc which is the one flaw of the zone. North Carolina will play inspired on their homecourt and look to stay right with Duke in the standings. North Carolina wins and covers, 77-73.
