Duke and Michigan State aren’t strangers. In fact, the two have already met once this season.
Back on November 18, the Blue Devils beat the Spartans 81-71 on a neutral site in Indianapolis (not Lucas Oil Stadium like their Final Four contest will be). Duke came into that game as 8.5-point favorites and covered the point spread.
Fast forward about four and a half months. Things have changed since the early season.
And the stakes are quite a bit higher this time around. When Duke and Michigan State meet in Indianapolis on Saturday evening, it’s for a spot in the NCAA Tournament National Championship.
Once again, though, the Blue Devils are favored. The line opened at 4.5 points, but has gone to 5.
Both teams are 4-0 against the spread in the tournament. In their respective regional finals, Duke covered vs. Gonzaga and MSU did the same vs. Louisville.
