No. 3 Duke (24-3, 11-3 ACC) at Virginia (19-8, 9-5)

Duke’s Rasheed Sulaimon will need all of his reach and quickness to defend the taller Joe Harris, an all-ACC candidate. On the opposite end of the floor, Sulaimon is coming off a career-high, 27-point performance against Boston College. Virginia ranks fourth in the country with a scoring defense that yields just 54 points per game. With Mason Plumlee and Seth Curry to account for, Sulaimon and Quinn Cook will likely have the best looks at the basket. Laura Keeley

North Carolina junior Reggie Bullock scored 22 points and tied his career high for rebounds, with 13, to lead the Tar Heels to a 76-65 victory against N.C. State on Saturday. It was just the second time this month that Bullock eclipsed the 20-point mark, though coach Roy Williams might have been more pleased with Bullock’s rebounding. Since UNC went to a four-guard starting lineup, Bullock’s rebounding ability has become more valuable. Andrew Carter
