What to Know

An ACC battle is on tap between the North Carolina Tar Heels and the #7 Duke Blue Devils at 6 p.m. ET Saturday at Dean E. Smith Center. Each game has meant fewer and fewer points for UNC in their past three games, so Duke might be catching them at a good time.

UNC was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Monday as they fell 65-59 to the Florida State Seminoles. Guard Cole Anthony wasn't much of a difference maker for the Tar Heels and finished with 16 points on 5-for-22 shooting in his 38 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, Duke beat the Boston College Eagles 63-55 on Tuesday. The top scorers for Duke were guard Tre Jones (18 points) and center Vernon Carey Jr. (17 points). That's three consecutive double-doubles for Carey Jr.

UNC is now 10-12 while Duke sits at 19-3. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Tar Heels enter the matchup with 3.8 blocked shots per game on average, good for 24th best in college basketball. But Duke is even better: they come into the contest boasting the fourth most blocked shots per game in college basketball at 6.1. Points in the paint might be hard to come by.
