I see all over the board that people are on MSU. I'm not saying they shouldn't be, but I would like someone to help me understand why this is such a popular opinion.....

VCU- I want to see how this team reponds off the win against OU. Wish this was a noon game or I would play it no matter what due to travel for Nevada.
MSU- Although IZZO is going for that win which is players should play hard I just dont trust laying them right now with MSU first trip away from Lansing. Florida has the size and defense to compete in this one and the Spartans may have to squeak one out here.
UTAH- Did not realize this was a neutral site game. If this was at UTAH I may have rolled with it.
DUKE is the only thing I am looking at. The other tourney games just don't look attractive at this point.

My original lean was UCONN but the more I looked at this game the more I was not impressed with UCONN. Sure they had a ton of blocks, ran the floor well offensively, and caused turnovers throughout there 2-2-1 press but UCONN shot selection was not very good. There guards got too deep at times in the paint and forcing things and almost everything they through up seem to went in. This won happen against DUKE.
I thought UCONN looked very slow when pressing and DUKE guards will zip around them and one thing LSU did not have like DUKE is depth. LSU only had 8 scholarship players and it showed plus LSU is just a soft SEC school. I think the betters were mislead by that game and I hope im right.
UCONN has a ton of height but like I said when they were pressing they looked slow and if I know Coach K he will stretch this D and make these big slow footed guys come out and run a motion offense on them to wear them down in the 2nd half. This biggest thing that I think will have to happen is DUKE ability to hit a high percentage of jump shots has I think UCONN is one of the worst in the country defending the 3 ranking close to 250. That is a disaster for this team if DUKE is shooting well. Lets remember though this might be one of DUKE biggest team in quiet sometime.
I think the match-ups are there but I want a team that is going to play hard every possession and dive for balls. I didn't see this for 40 minutes from UCONN against LSU. At times they were standing around and if they do this tonight DUKE will exploit it.
If Duke can take Robinson or Dyson out of this game either one its going to be very difficult for UCONN to stay in this one. UCONN is going to need a lot of help from Walker or one of there big guys to keep them in this deep in the game.
I have some issues with a few points you make in your summary of the teams in general. #1- Dukes guards are not athletic and some would term them slow. So the idea that they will "zip" around the athletic uconn guards is not a solid idea. I've watched Duke in person and if they have one Achilles heal it is their guard plays ability to handle pressure. Nolan is solid and keeps improving but in general their guards have issues with pressure. #2- Duke has a lot of height as well so that cancels UCONN's height. Athleticism however definitely tilts towards UCONN with Robinson playing inside and out.
I make these points not to dispute your lean but to just make sure you are clear on the personnel.
