Upsets happen all the time in these things.

Defenses have smaller control over 3 pt FG%.

It just takes one team remaining to go nuts from 3 to send Duke packing.

Houston Auburn and UF are all capable of knocking off Duke.

But we are getting closer to a Duke title.
Definitely pulling hard for Houston and Auburn tomorrow. At least that way, I know Duke is guaranteed to play good teams. Houston is a whole different beast defensively. Only thing is Houston gets their offense out of the post and that’s not a place you can score against Duke.

I'm rooting for this as well.

I don't normally root for 1s but I just feel like those four teams are clear cut ahead and those final four games and title game would be real fun.

Love to see Houston get a shot at them in San Antonio with the crowd advantage.

Auburn does match up pretty well with Duke if they can remember who they were. Auburn has the physicality to match Duke but also the bigs that can step away and get Maluach out of the paint. As good as Flagg is, Maluach is what makes everything work defensively for them.

I picked UF, Mich St, Duke, and Tenn to advance to the FF in my bracket. Auburn’s end to the regular season and SEC tournament concerned me.

You may still be right but I hope not. Nothing personal of course. Just don't think Michigan State can beat Duke.

Duke looked great. They had a great game plan. But i would remember Bama was a team that could look like world beaters one night then get run outta the gym by Missouri. Setting up to be a helluva Final 4.

This is worst defensive and offensive job by Bama all season.

I knew they will lose, when their coach was talking what great run they had making to EE even before knowing the Duke will be their opponent anticipated it is going to be Duke, and started to beg for NiL funds to continue.
