Duke is off one of the most dramatic games of the season, an OT loss at Syracuse. Though going with double-digit underdogs in rivalry games has been proven to be a myth, there is a bit more validity in college basketball.

But the rivalry sees more hatred from Wake to Duke than visa versa. That is why Wake has covered four straight, all as double-digit underdog in the series even though the Blue Devils have won all of them.

The Codi Miller-McIntyre uncertainty makes this short of a Wise Guy, but again teams do rally around adversity short-term. This will remain close.
