Alabama vs. Duke

Premium Pick

Duke finally showed some vulnerability after Arizona cut a 19-point deficit to five before succumbing 100-93 to the Blue Devils. Caleb Love did most of the damage with 35 points for the Wildcats. Now Duke goes up against another hot-shooting team as Alabama made 25 of 51 3-point tries while burying BYU 113-88. Mark Sears scored 30 of his 34 points on 3s. Those performances result in an inflated posted total for this game even though Duke leads the country in defensive field goal percentage. The Crimson Tide will try to overcome that with a .374 3-point shooting percentage this season, and they showed some defensive prowess with their 80-66 win over Saint Mary's in the second round when the Gaels were held to 34 percent shooting and three of 14 from beyond the arc. Take the points with Alabama and the UNDER.
