Neither team is very good. Duke is certainly not a top 10 team

Sean Miller has a very mean stare. I’m scared of him and I’m sitting in my living room.

Very unimpressed with Xavier. I thought Colby Jones was their best player and he got the ball once in the last 10 minutes. And they are a soft team

Agree. The BE isn’t looking very strong. UConn needs to win this tournament, if we want a high seed, as Creighton is the only ranked team they’ll face the rest of the season.

Nice close by Duke, Roach was phenomenal - hit some big boy shots. I thought that Mitchell’s wing 3 was the turning point. Xavier was right there, they are scrappy and well coached. Their depth hurt them here, but acquitted themselves well regardless.
