A few quick notes about the Elite Eight. First, Duke has played everyone left in the field except for Purdue and Michigan State and beaten everyone they’ve played except Gonzaga (that was a two point loss in November in Hawaii).
Second, Auburn, Kentucky and Texas Tech are really not the same teams at all. Against UNC, Auburn ws incredibly loose, fast and willing to fire up threes with no fear whatsoever. The team we saw in Maui was much more restrained. No more.
As much as we admire what they did, without Chuma Okeke, we’re not sure they can beat Kentucky.
