00:00Drs the nightcap tonight in Newark. It's the number one seed in the East region

00:04And again those national title favorites in the Duke Blue Devils

00:08They are a nine and a half point favorite against Arizona the total

00:13153 and a half tonight inside the rock drs. Where do you start your breakdown for the Blue Devils and the cats?

00:20You start it with Duke because it's it's a rare occurrence here

00:23Like we just talked about Alabama phenomenal on offense very very good on defense and then you say well

00:28What's Duke's footprint here nationally? How about the best offense and the fourth best defense?

00:34It's like well, where are the advantages on the other team? Well, that's why Duke is so good

00:38There are no advantages. Your only advantage is they don't play well

00:41So when you take a look at Arizona who's tremendous on offense top 13 in the country in efficiency decent on defense top 28

00:48Against anybody else that's a recipe for success

00:50Unless you're going up a team like the Duke Blue Devils you take a look at the three-point shot Duke defends you take a look

00:55Rebounding that's exactly what Duke does you take a look at defending the three-point shot. Absolutely. You flip it over to Dukes offense

01:01They're tremendous at rebounding on offense shooting the three-point shot inside the lane and making their free throws

01:06There is no weakness for the Duke Blue Devils, but we are talking about elevated competition

01:11I understand the ACC was a bit down this year. They handled their business Cooper flag got injured in the ACC tournament

01:18They still end up winning that you see Cooper flag come back in the tournament was Baylor a great team not necessarily

01:23They blew the doors off that team Mount St. Mary's were they supposed to compete with Duke?

01:26No, they weren't. So you are leveling up in competition on a true neutral court site almost getting double digits

01:32It's almost enough Ben to turn the tide for me to take, Arizona

01:35But the good part about this is is I can't bet this game in New Jersey

01:39I don't have a clear side and I probably would be reaching one thing if I could bet was probably Caleb Love just saying this

01:45Ben if they're gonna hang around it's gotta be him that hangs around and if they lose this game

01:50It doesn't mean he doesn't have a great game either. They go as far as love is gonna take
