Duke Blue Devils Set to Clash with NC State Wolfpack in Tobacco Road Showdown

2025-01-28

The Duke Blue Devils men’s basketball team, ranked second in the nation with a 17-2 record (9-0 ACC), will face the NC State Wolfpack (9-10, 2-6 ACC) in a highly anticipated Tobacco Road rivalry game on Monday, January 27, 2025, at 8:30 p.m. ET. The game will be held at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, North Carolina, and broadcast on ESPN.

This matchup marks the first meeting between the two teams since NC State defeated Duke in the Elite Eight of the 2024 NCAA Tournament, advancing to the Final Four. Despite the Wolfpack’s postseason success last year, they have not won at Cameron Indoor Stadium since 2017. NC State enters the game on a five-game ACC losing streak, while Duke aims to extend its 13-game winning streak and remain undefeated in conference play.

Duke is heavily favored, with a 22.5-point spread and moneyline odds of -10000, while NC State is listed at +2200. The total points line is set at 134.5. Analysts predict a defensive battle, with Duke’s offense expected to rebound after a sluggish performance against Wake Forest. Freshman standout Cooper Flagg is projected to play a key role, particularly in rebounding, as NC State struggles on the boards.

The game is expected to be a low-scoring affair, with the Under 134.5 being a popular pick. Duke’s efficient offense and strong defense are likely to overpower NC State, but the Wolfpack’s defensive resilience could keep the game competitive.
