Prediction

I have asked this question in my power rankings, but I will restate it here: Just how good is Duke? Honestly, I am not sure anybody really knows. They are currently on a three game win streak, but their best win in that span was against a Notre Dame team that seems to be falling apart.

Final Score: 88-86 UNC over Duke. With the game at Cameron, it will be close. However, UNC is the best team Duke has faced since Florida State. Remember what happened there? The Blue Devils were crushed by 16. Luke Kennard keeps the game close, but Grayson Allen turns it over to seal the win for the Tar Heels.
