They are undeniably the best team in this tournament by a wide margin (the best in NCAA since 2015 UK and Wisconsin) and an offense that is just about impossible to stop effectively. They are basically a far better version of ourselves. Accordingly KenPom isn’t giving us more than a 29 percent shot at this one. It is too bad they don’t reseed at this stage because it may take the upset of a lifetime to bring Nova down.

Duke may have had the superior talent, but we were absolutely the better team.
