Coach K beat them twice (1994 & 1999) and lost in 2005. In the last 8 years Duke has been this far in the tourney 5 times going 1-4 (all 4 loses as small favs).
To me it really comes down to a couple things. IZZO, hell yes I think he is a phenomenal coach. This team defends the perimeter better than anyone!!! Duke knocks em down from deep at roughly a 40% clip, not vs SPARTY THEY WON'T! SPARTY holds teams under 29% from behind the arc and I expect another hard fought IZZO defensive effort.
I really like Michigan State to get the win su and ats tonight.:00hour :00hour

4* LOUISVILLE -10
One of the best in the country at forcing turnovers. Ducks turn it over a lot. Petino pressure D too much for the Ducks IMO..
4* KANSAS -135
KU won't play into the Michigan trap like VCU. Looking for a slower paced game. The KU big man is a talent , not sure Mich has an answer for him.
3* FLORIDA -13
I like billy Donovan to have his team well prepared here. Florida has a bunch of contributors and will cause problems for GC (much like VCU DID). Could get ugly, like this over the number too. GC has been good to me, but time to jump ship. Once down, fla should keep the throttle down.
3* FLORIDA OVER 136
