The schedule for this weekend's college basketball games is almost set, with Sunday's game also in the works. The North Carolina Tar Heels continued their winning streak with a big win over Boston College on the road.
The 76-66 victory moves UNC to 15-3 overall and 7-0 in conference play, putting it in first place in the Atlantic Coast Conference standings heading into the next all-important week. But they're also trending up quite a bit in bracketology.
Last week, North Carolina State moved up to the No. 1 seed in Joe Lunardi's latest Bracketology, riding a winning streak to transfer. After defeating Boston University, they remain as the No. 1 seed and move up the standings as the No. 4 team.
Meanwhile, future rival Duke is heading in the wrong direction.
The Blue Devils lost their home game to Pitt on Saturday night, and shortly thereafter fell to the No. 4 seed in Lunardi's Bracketology Update.

Duke University is in the red, falling to 14th overall as a team at the 4th place line. The Blue Devils have struggled at times this season, and Saturday was one such example despite being without Jeremy Roach and Mark Mitchell.
These two teams will be in a big showdown at Dean Dome for a week starting Saturday. The Tar Heels have to take care of business before then, playing against Wake Forest on Monday, then facing Florida State and then Georgia Tech.
