It's a pivotal time in the ACC conference. With the teams not as strong as in recent years, especially with the dramatic free-fall of North Carolina, there will be fewer at-large bids up for grabs in the NCAA tournament. NC State will look to add a signature win to their resume today, as the Wolfpack welcome No. 6 Duke in a key conference matchup.

How to Live Stream NC State vs. Duke

The Wolfpack and the Blue Devils will tip-off at 9:00p.m. EST on ESPN. Live streams can also be accessed through the ESPN app or through Reddit's NCAA basketball streams community.

Duke is once again a title contender, and the path to the Final Four may be easier than ever. The Blue Devils, while only losing three times this year, have posted an average margin of victory of 17 points, which is third-best in the country. They will need that same level of dominance today to put away an NC State team hungry for an upset.

Coach K always has a scorer he can rely on, and this year Vernon Carey has taken upon that role, averaging a team-high 17 points per game. Tre Jones is showing returning to school was a good decision, leading the team in assists with 6.6 per night while averaging 15.8 points.

NC State has a respectable record of 16-9 this season, but a win over the Duke Blue Devils would put them right in contention to make the NCAA tournament. A conference win today would also put pressure on Virginia to maintain a 4-seed heading in to the conference tournament.

Head Coach Kevin Keatts looks to the senior leadership of guard CJ Bryce, who leads the team with averages of 14.0 points per game and 6.1 rebounds. Even if Bryce is playing at his best, Duke remains a tough challenge for the Wolfpack.
