Don't be fooled by the seeds. THere is a reason why the #1 seed with Kansas is the underdog in this game.

Duke is the much stronger team in this matchup.
The Blue Devils' freshmen bigs Wendell Carter Jr. and Marvin Bagley III will dominate the paint and set the tone early on against the undersized Jayhawks. THat will get open looks for Grayson Allen.

This game is going to be won or lost by the glass, and quite simply, Duke has the far better players for the job, with their awesome size of their frontcourt, they have shown they get boards and clean the glass, on both ends of the court. Duke struggled with the length and size of Syracuse, but that wont be the case here.
Duke is built for big time games like this. Marvin Bagley has been getting the Devils 22 points per game.


Kansas is going to likely fall behind early, as Duke starts off strong - which will keep the 7-0 Udoka Azubuike from getting involved in the game as much as he should be. He will not be getting his best opportunities - which will then bring frustration from their biggest player - which will seriously take the momentum out of defending the lane and clogging up the paint, if he gets run down.
Kansas will be outcoached and outplayed. Duke will cruise to the Final Four.
