SportsLine's model just revealed its college basketball picks for the North Carolina Tar Heels vs. Duke Blue Devils in the ACC Tournament semifinals on Friday night

While the focus will undoubtedly skew toward Duke — with or without Cooper Flagg — UNC, Clemson and Louisville are coming off thrilling finishes in their own quarterfinals.

Duke, the No. 1 seed in the East region, is expecting to have star freshman Cooper Flagg for the NCAA Tournament beginning this week.

Tyrese Proctor leads Duke with 19 points as the Blue Devils overcome the absence of Cooper Flagg to beat Louisville.

The Tar Heels lost to No. 1 Duke in the ACC Tournament semifinals, but have won eight of their past 10 games and are playing their best basketball of the season.

Do the North Carolina Tar Heels deserve their spot in the NCAA Tournament? Broadcaster/bracketologist John Fanta doesn't think so.
