The 11th-seeded Syracuse Orange have recorded three upset wins here in the NCAA tournament, beginning with a First Four escape against Arizona State, but I think they'll run out of luck here in the Sweet 16 against the dominant Duke Blue Devils.

No. 2 seed Duke has won its first two games by an average of 23.5 points and defeated Syracuse 60-44 on Feb. 24. Blue Devils are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall and 10-3 ATS in their last 13 NCAA Tournament games.

Both teams are playing great zone defense, but Duke has too much offensive firepower overall to be slowed down, and in particular ACC Player of the Year Marvin Bagley who has scored 22 points in each of the first two rounds.

My selection is an 8* play on Duke Blue Devils.
