This is a 10* play on the Duke Blue Devils.
For the life of me I can't figure out what Duke has done to deserve such a lack of respect here in their Sweet 16 matchup against the Utah Utes? The Blue Devils won 14 of their last 15 games of the regular season, in what might prove to be the toughest conference in the country. They were ousted in the conference tournament by the same Notre Dame team that handed them their only loss of the second half of the season. They avenged that loss in a big way though just a few weeks later, crushing the Irish by a score of 90-60.
For most of the year they have been ranked in the Top 3, and they own the 3rd best shooting percentage in the country hitting above 50% from the field. They average over 80 points per game ranking 4th in the country in scoring. That scoring prowess was on full display in an 85-56 win over Robert Morris in the first round. They crushed San Diego State on Sunday, winning 68-49, and Jahlil Okafor scored 26 points.
I've heard the experts on ESPN say that Utah has the players to match up against Okafor, and my first thought is .. "What the #### are they talking about". I think any suggestion of Utah matching up well with Duke is laughable, they haven't see a team like Duke all year. They only faced four ranked opponents this season, and the best of those teams was Arizona, who beat them in both games in a home series by a combined 24 points. They also lost neutral site games to Kansas, and the same San Diego State team that Duke crushed last week.
Take DUKE.
