Jeremy Conn: Big Points In Duke Vs. UNC

It's one of the best rivalries in sports! Duke's Blue Devils will travel down Tobacco Road to Chapel Hill to face the North Carolina Tar Heels.

I believe we will see a high-scoring game as both of these teams can put the ball in the bucket. Carolina and Duke rank 1 and 2 in average points per game. Brice Johnson is averaging a double double for UNC and Grayson Allen is the leading scorer for the Blue Devils.

Something tells me that this is going to be one of those games where Marcus Paige drops about 30 points and throws in 10 dimes for good measure.

UNC is one of the best teams at scoring in the paint and Duke has one of the worst interior defenses in college basketball.  It's Michael Jordan's birthday today, so maybe the Tar Heels will have a little magic today to run the Blue devils off the court.

I like UNC to win 90-79. Yes, I see a lot of points.
