Duke
The Blue Devils have got through many speed bumps this season. After building a losing streak to knock themselves out of the Top 25, Duke had quite the reality check as it was even in jeopardy whether or not they would be a tournament team.
They’ve rebounded to win 4 straight games and capped it off with a buzzer beating dramatic win over the #7 Virginia Cavaliers last time out.
Duke’s Grayson Allen missed two free throws to push the lead to 3, and saw Virginia come down to hit a go ahead layup. Allen then responded with a buzzer beating leaner that banked off the glass to secure the Duke win.

North Carolina
The script has flipped a bit heading into this one as it’s the Tar Heels who are favorite in this matchup.
