Duke, NC State, and North Carolina will all be in action on Thursday, taking on foes in their respective regions.

After a dynamite ACC Tournament that saw NC State win five games in five days to secure the ACC Title, the No. 11 seed Wolfpack are slated to start their tournament against No. 6 Texas Tech in Pittsburgh, Penn. The Wolfpack are 4.5-point underdogs against the Red Raiders, but after downing both Duke and North Carolina in the ACC Tournament, they have shown they can defy the odds.

No. 4 Duke is headed to Brooklyn, N.Y., to face off against No. 13 Vermont. While the Blue Devils crashed out of the ACC Tournament early, they’re facing a Vermont squad that is 2-9 all-time in the NCAA Tournament. The Second Round is the furthest that the Catamounts have advanced. Duke is a heavy 11.5-point favorites ahead of the game.

The No. 1 North Carolina Tar Heels will take on No. 16 Wagner. The Seahawks, advancing after defeating Howard in the First Four, have a massive test ahead of them against the Tar Heels.

Along with its $250 guaranteed bonus, FanDuel North Carolina has plenty of ongoing promotions to enjoy, including:
