After 47 seasons, 1,196 career wins and five national championships, Mike Krzyzewski will coach his final home game when his No. 4 Duke Blue Devils host their Tobacco Road rivals, the North Carolina Tar Heels, on Saturday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, N.C. Krzyzewski, who is retiring after this season, has won 572 games at Cameron, more than all of the previous Duke coaches combined. On Saturday he and the Blue Devils (26-4, 16-3 in ACC) will go for No. 573 against the Tar Heels (22-8, 14-5), who are 19-22 all-time against Krzyzewski's teams at Cameron.

Why Duke can cover

Duke has the potential No. 1 overall pick in this year's NBA Draft in Paolo Banchero. A 6-foot-10 freshman from Seattle, Banchero ranks six in the ACC in points per game (16.9), fourth in rebounds per game (7.8) and 13th in field-goal percentage (46.5). He ranks third among all true freshmen nationally in scoring.

In addition, the Blue Devils have a balanced offensive attack. Five players -- Banchero, Wendell Moore Jr. (13.2), Trevor Keels (12.3), Mark Williams (10.8) and AJ Griffin (10.4) -- average double digits in scoring. In each of the team's last five games, five different players have led the team in scoring.

Why North Carolina can cover

Armando Bacot is on a historic run. The 6-foot-10 junior from Richmond, Va., leads the ACC in field-goal percentage (58.5) and rebounding (12.7 per game). He is on pace to become just the eighth player to lead the conference in both categories in the same season, joining such luminaries as Virginia's Ralph Sampson and Wake Forest's Tim Duncan.

Led by Bacot, North Carolina is one of the best rebounding teams in the country. The Tar Heels outrebound opponents by 7.8 rebounds per game. That leads the ACC and ranks seventh in the nation.
