Pre Game

• Awaiting the opening tip-off
• Pre-Game comments: West Virginia was impressive in defeating Arizona in the first round, and has solid efforts down the stretch of their season, defeating Notre Dame in the Big East Tournament and Pittsburgh late in the year. As for Duke, they barely survived a first-round scare at the hands of Belmont, and we'll find out if that close a contest is the exception to the rule, or a trend to watch for. Defensive rebounding - in terms of limiting opponents to one attempt at shooting and not allowing multiple looks - will be the deciding factor in the game.
