UNC hosts Duke for the first of their two annually scheduled showdowns. Since you “can throw out the records and rankings for this one” I won’t trouble you with those. Let’s get to what matters.
Vegas stuff:
Opening Line: UNC -1.5
….then the money came in
Current line (as of Thursday a.m.): Duke -1
O/U: 166
Translation:
