Duke vs UNC, Alabama vs Auburn: Rivalry Games Shape Tournament Seeds

0:00On March 6th, this Saturday marks the end of the college basketball regular season, spotlighting two heated rivalry games. Duke hosts North Carolina as a 15-and-a-half point favorite with a total of 144-and-a-half. Alabama welcomes Auburn at home, favored by 8-and-a-half, over under 176-and-a-half. Duke seeks payback after a late collapse cost him against North Carolina last month. The Blue Devils have dominated since, ripping off seven straight wins by an average of 24 points each. North Carolina counters with four wins in a row, but questions linger over freshman Caleb Wilson. He's missed six gains with a broken hand and might sit for the ACC tournament next week. Meanwhile, Alabama aims to rebound from a midweek loss to Georgia. Their offense ranks top three nationally, while Auburn stumbles into town, winning just two of their last nine against week foes. These clashes could shape tournament seeds with Duke poised for a statement at home and Alabama's firepower overwhelming a Leaky Tigers defense.
