I believe that Duke is one of the hottest teams in this tournament and this Tennessee team has the ability to go cold on the offensive end of the court. I see that happening, as this Duke team is very solid on the defensive end of the court. They have the 17th lowest adjusted defensive rating and they are holding their opponents to the 34th least amount of points per game.

The Vols will struggle to consistently score throughout this game and the Blue Devils will slowly pull away. Duke is also (10-0) in their last 10, as they have been unbelievable over the last two/three weeks. They will stay hot in this one and cover the spread. Pick the Duke Blue Devils and lay the points (-3.5).
