Duke being a near 10pt favorite over a 4 seed is wild. Dont think Arizona can get it done, we're going to have to wait until next round and likely beyond.

I picked Arizona to beat Duke in my brackets. I have no faith they are very good based on their ridiculously easy schedule. Also, at the time I wasn't sure about the extent of Cooper's injury. I hope I picked it correctly.

They’re covering for sure.

Does Duke’s diaper dandies crap themselves under the pressure?

I don't think they do. I hate to say this, but I think Duke is starting to figure out a lot of things the last month or so. They're long, they defend, they can hit 3s, they can drive and they have the best player in the nation.. on top of that, they're going to get the officiating help.

This was sort of my fear with them, that they'd get a lot better as the season went on simply because they have a ton of talent. They have 3 lottery picks and I'd argue another 1 or 2 first rounders. Coupled with solid transfers.

Really hope I'm wrong. Really need the 1 seeds to stay alive to have any chance of Duke not moving on.

Unfortunately I’m starting to see it this way, maybe it took me longer than it should have.

3 lottery picks is crazy talent. It will be a fun weekend and I’ll be cheering against them though.

I think the only team that can beat them is either Auburn or Florida.
