Premium Pick

The last two slots to the Final Four are on the line today, as Duke squares off against Kansas. Each team has specific strengths and weaknesses, and the strength of the Duke team is their ability to get off the glass after a miss. Duke rebounds 38% of their misses, but Kansas allows just 8.5 offensive rebounds a game. Duke is also prone to turning the ball over, and their guards are not knock-down jump shooters. When Duke shoots 50% or better, they are 15-0 SU and 11-4 ATS. Conversely, when they shoot under 50% they are 12-6 SU and just 9-8 ATS. Kansas has allowed just four teams to shoot 50% or better and are 28-3 SU when their opponent does not convert 50% or better. Duke may be too youthful for the big stage as they start five freshman and don't go very deep. Kansas has the knockdown shooters for a tight game, as well. Make the play on Kansas.
