Duke vs. Notre Dame

The Fighting Irish are getting little respect for their body of work this season as they enter this contest as the higher seed, but are posted as a dog. Duke has a horrific postseason record under Coach K. and this will be the Blue Devils' fourth game in four days, and I don't think any ACC team has ever gotten to the Championship playing in four straight. The #5 seed has also never won the ACC Championship, so the Blue Devils have a lot working against them. Duke has not only played three straight, but have expended a lot of energy in the last two in coming back from 12 points down vs. Louisville, and 13 points down vs. North Carolina to get here. Notre Dame has ended the Devils' ACC Championship bid in each of the last two years, and I don't see that changing this year. Play on Notre Dame.
