And the Blue Devils will be full of confidence on Thursday after they edged bitter rival North Carolina 85-84 last Wednesday in Chapel Hill and then crushed Maryland 73-55 at home in their last game on Saturday.

Seth Curry led the Blue Devils with 19 points in that win over the Terrapins on Saturday, while Mason Plumlee was good for 16 points and 10 rebounds, and Miles Plumlee contributed 13 points and 22 boards.

That result improved Duke to 21-4 straight up and 11-14 against the spread on the season, and they're now up to No. 5 in the rankings. North Carolina State sits at 18-7 straight up and 9-12 against the spread on the season heading into Thursday night.

The Wolfpack earned a win in Georgia Tech in their last game last Thursday, grabbing a 61-52 victory behind a 15-point performance from C.J. Williams. C.J. Leslie added 13 points and 10 rebounds for North Carolina State that night.

Duke won both of its games against North Carolina State last season, and they're 8-2 straight up and 6-4 against the spread in the last 10 meetings between the schools dating back to 2005. The OVER/UNDER went 8-2 in those 10 contests.

Although the Blue Devils beat the Tar Heels last week, they still trail them on the NCAA Tournament futures odds right now; Duke is at 12/1 to win the national title, with North Carolina at 15/2. North Carolina State is a longshot at 300/1 odds on that futures list.
