Think the Devils come out strong, Singler will cover Williams and limit him as much as he possibly can, and Plumlees rebound their way to a 78-70 win

Arizona most certainly has a chance, as would any Pac 10 team still playing in the sweet 16 if they were still alive. Washington was up to the challenge with Carolina, and Arizona will be game for Duke.

You never hear me banging on Pac 10 teams, lots of good basketball played out west. I reserve my disdain for the Big Ten.

Arizona is ranked 31st on KENPOM.COM., just ahead of VT, Maryland, and Villanova. Their best OOC win was N.C.State. They have lost 7 games, 3 of them by more than 15 points. duke will dominate this team.

Singler will obviously be a blanket on Williams. I mean he IS an outstannnnnnding defender...the most versatile in the ACC

Much in the same way they dominated the KenPom 23rd ranked Michigan? I see what you are doing, and I am sure CC will be around soon enough.

I haven't watched Arizona very much this season, so I don't know that much about them. I was hoping that Texas would beat them because I feel that the 'Horns match up better overall with Duke, but that didn't happen. Arizona does seem to be pretty athletic and physical, which tends to give Duke some problems, but I just don't see the Wildcats winning this. They might stay close for a while, but Duke will pull away late and win comfortably. At that point, they'll be half way to pushing me to the brink of insanity.

Duke flops again,

As long as Ryan Kelley is in uniform, duke will flop.

I got big money on the Cats in this one. Got 8-1 odds on a 25 dollar bet with my uncle who is a Duke Grad.

I think Ill be coming up 25 bucks lighter though. But the odds were too great to pass up.
