Duke vs North Carolina Prediction | March Madness Final Four Picks
The road to the Final Four for Duke hasn’t been through many tough opponents. They haven’t gone up against a great offense, which is exactly what North Carolina has. Duke saw this in their last meeting, with the Tar Heels putting up 94 points.
UNC has been solid in the NCAA Tournament as well. They have scored over 90 points in each of the first two rounds. North Carolina has also fought through some defensive-minded opponents while still scoring well. With Duke ranking only 45th in defensive efficiency, we should see plenty of points.
Instead of picking a winner, we will go with the trends and pick this game to hit the OVER.
Our college basketball betting Duke vs North Carolina prediction tonight will be OVER 151 at BetUS.
