Duke vs. West Virginia

On the other side of the bracket it is the one seed Duke and the two seed West Virginia. For West Virginia they had a tougher road than Duke to get to Indy. They got through the first two rounds with easy, but only beat Washington and the one seed Kentucky by 7. They are going to have a tough time handling Duke’s guards because their point guard, Darryl Bryant, who broke his foot in practice. One advantage they had is the size. They had a two guard three forward set, but Kevin Jones for the Mountaineers could easily play the guard spot. To win the game I think they need to hit their three point shots and box out. One problem they have is fouling, so Duke had the huge advantage because they shot better than 77% as a team from the free throw line. For Duke, it’s all about the big three. Nolan Smith, Jon Scheyer, and Kyle Singler have to keep like they have throughout the tournament. Another advantage Duke has is offensive rebounds leading to open three for their shooters like Scheyer, Singler, Smith and Dawkins. Brian Zoubek, Lance Thomas, and the Plumlee brothers will give Duke second and third chance opportunities. In comparison between in year playing in big games like this Coach Krzyzewski has more experience than Bob Huggins head coach of West Virginia. In the end I think it will com e down the free throws and Duke had the advantage so I think they win by 5 and go to the national championship game. What's your opinion the two games?
