Three things Duke must do to beat Kansas and advance to the Final Four | News & Observer

No. 1 seed Kansas poses a different set of problems than No. 2 Duke had when it faced No. 11 seed Syracuse on Friday.

Duke and Kansas meet in the Elite Eight on Sunday with a trip to the Final Four in San Antonio on the line. Duke beat Syracuse in the Sweet 16, 69-65. The Blue Devils held on in that game, which that remained close throughout, and came down to the final few seconds.

Syracuse had the tallest team in the country, according to KenPom.com, so it's length was a strength. Kansas has height too in 7-foot, 280-pound center, Udoka Azubuike, but it likes to utilize a four-guard lineup.
