sorry, but i will not bet against uconn. they are deep and talented. they will not be bothered by the great d of duhon. who will contain ben gordon ? the uconn pg is good as well. a healthy okafor is a major factor, but uconn has 3 other players who are 6'10 and they all play. duke will have to be very good from the 3pt line to stay in the game. jmo
the experts around here say duke......

I think Gordon is the key to this team. He can take over a game when ever he wants, and he can create easy shots for himself.
Duke doesn't have anyone that can contain him IMO.

I heard that Okafer got a stinger in his shoulder. He will sit
out practice to be ready for Saturday.
I also read that Duke Vitale is picking Uconn. Not sure what that means though.

UConn's Coach Calhoun has beaten Coach K the last three times. This would be 4 straight if he could win Saturday.
Okafur will have to be 100% in this one with Dukes run and gun style.

"So Hall of Famer Krzyzewski is eyeing his fourth title, while future Hall of Famer Calhoun goes for his second. Something's got to give, and I feel that Okafor's presence and defensive ability makes UConn the favorite to move on."
Duke Vitali

He may say this but we all know Vitali is praying for Duke to
pull this out.

Since St. Joe's magical run is over, I am rooting for Duke, however, I think UConn pulls it out. Of course, it should be a great game but Okafer, if healthy enough, should dominate inside. Obviously Duke's weakness is inside and with there propensity for foul trouble with all there big guys, I could see Williams, Randolph and Horvath all possible fouling out.
DUKE SHOOTS FT'S VERY WELL. HOW WILL THE GAME BE OFFICIATED ? BEN GORDON IS THE ONLY REAL GOOD FT SHOOTER FOR UCONN.
