The top-ranked Duke Blue Devils (28-2, 16-1 ACC) look for revenge on Saturday as they host the No. 17 North Carolina Tar Heels (24-6, 12-5 ACC) in the Tobacco Road Rivalry. UNC upset Duke 71-68 on Feb. 7 of this year, handing the Blue Devils one of their two losses on the season. The scene shifts to Durham for this matchup, and Duke students have been camped out for months. UNC also lost star Caleb Wilson, who scored 23 points in the first game, for the season to a thumb injury, so the Tar Heels enter this game as a substantial underdog.

Tipoff from Cameron Indoor Stadium is at 6:30 p.m. ET. The Blue Devils are 17.5-point favorites in the latest North Carolina vs. Duke odds, while the over/under is 146.5.
