Result:
WIN

Tournament time means extra effort on defense, which we already saw on day one. Robert Morris has the unlucky break of having to face #1 seed Duke. There's no way Robert Morris will try and get into a running game and it's a team that was #1 in the Northeast Conference in field goal shooting defense allowing 42%. They were also fourth at defending the three. They only scored 59 points on North Carolina and shot 36% earlier this year. They will try and slow the pace down, which is fine with Duke as the Blue Devils can play any style. Duke plays terrific defense and the Blue Devils are 5-0 UNDER the total at neutral site games, as well as on a 4-1 run UNDER the total overall. And you can be sure of a great defensive effort after allowing 55% shooting a year ago in the tournament opener, an upset loss to Mercer. Play this one UNDER the total.
