College Basketball Odds: North Carolina State vs. Duke

There’s not much to complain about right now if you support the Duke Blue Devils (16-1 SU, 9-6-1 ATS). (AP Images)"]

But Duke is just 1-2-1 ATS in its last four games, and on Tuesday the Devils face the North Carolina State Wolfpack (10-5 SU, 6-4-1 ATS), a team that’s 3-1-1 ATS in its last five outings.

One of the main problems with Sidney Lowe’s Wolfpack team is ball-handling. N.C. State is coughing up the ball on 21.2 percent of possessions, a rate that’s even more alarming facing a Duke defense that forces a turnover on 24.2 percent of opponent’s plays. Lowe’s been happy with his team defense, but is otherwise having some trouble coming up with a consistent lineup.

Duke’s defense has been outstanding this season – No. 2 in Division I in efficiency, with the under cashing in five out of the last six games to improve to 10-5-1. Get college basketball odds with Bodog now.
