Please explain how West Virginia matches up well with them. IMO, West Virginia has too much size because they've been awful at defending the perimeter. If there's a game in which Duke will light someone up from deep, that seems like the perfect situation. Arizona doesn't really have much size, TM. They really only go six deep, and only two of those guys are over 6-4. They rely on shooting the three well, which Duke does a great job defending. So how do these teams match up well against Duke?
A bad matchup for Duke I think would be someone like Drake. A team that doesn't play with that much size but has good penetrators and is good at defending the perimeter. I just don't see that out of their first two opponents.
