Next up for Duke is Arkansas for a trip to New Orleans and the 2022 Final Four. And Arkansas will be a challenge to say the least.
We said we thought the Razorbacks would beat Gonzaga and we thought that because Gonzaga runs into issues when they have to play highly athletic teams.
And certainly Arkansas was more athletic than the Zags. Gonzaga tied the game 36-36 with 16:54 left in the second half and never threatened again.
Not really anyway.
Drew Timme did score 25 points but only shot 9-19. Wunderkind Chet Holmgren fouled out with 11 points and 14 rebounds and just two blocks.
