Duke-NC State basketball: How to watch the game, betting lines
Triangle ACC rivals Duke and NC State were scheduled to play an ACC tournament quarterfinal game last March in Greensboro before the coronavirus pandemic brought an abrupt end to the college basketball season.
Now, 11 months later and for the first time this season, the Blue Devils and Wolfpack are scheduled to meet once again in a setting impacted by that same health emergency.
Duke (7-8, 5-6 ACC) and N.C. State (8-8, 4-7 ACC) are scheduled to tip at 4 p.m. with a limited number of people allowed inside PNC Arena to watch it.
For the first time since November 1999, the Blue Devils are playing as a team with a losing record. Duke is mired in a three-game losing streak, including Tuesday’s 93-89 loss at home to Notre Dame.
The Wolfpack, after starting the season 6-1, has dropped seven of its last nine games, including a 77-68 home loss to Syracuse Tuesday night.
