With a trip to the Elite Eight on the line, expect both defenses to play all out. Arizona was fourth in the 16-team Big 12 in field goal shooting allowed (41.5%) and is on a 7-6 run UNDER the total. Arizona's leading scorer, Caleb Love (16.8 ppg), has faced Duke many times after transferring from North Carolina. In nine games against the Blue Devils, Love has averaged 15.8 points on 37.6% shooting. Duke has an ace defender in guard Tyrese Proctor, who has held Love to 10.5 points on 28% shooting in the last four meetings between the teams. They met in Tucson earlier this season, and Love shot 3-of-13 from the field and one-of-nine from long range with Proctor as the primary defender. That was a 69-55 Duke victory that sailed UNDER by 38 points. Duke's defense was No. 1 in the ACC in points given up (61.7 per game), field goal shooting allowed (38.3%), and at defending beyond the arc (30.5%). Take Arizona/Duke UNDER the total.
