There isn't much to write about other than win and advance. This team is too well coached, too smart and too grounded to look past anyone - including NDSU as the #1 overall seed.
The Bison are coming off of a "First Four" win over North Carolina Central, 78-74. The Bison can shoot it, they defend well and are led by junior forward, Tyson Ward. Ward is an athletic swing who was a big land for NDSU when he signed. I would imagine RJ will get that matchup.
We enter this game primed for a run at our 6th national championship. While Jack White will likely sit because of a hamstring injury suffered in the ACC championship game, it'll nice to get Marquis back in the mold, and I assume back into the starting lineup. He brings a much needed body and shot blocker in the paint that will be extremely important if we are to make a deep run. Let's keep everyone healthy and put this one away early so we can rest the big dogs.
Tonight's game is slated to tip on CBS at 7:10pm est. Duke is currently favored by -26.5...That's a large spread to cover but it'll be close.
Duke 86
North Dakota State 61
GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
