The way to beat Duke is to draw them out of their drop coverage, make them defend ball screens where they're pretty aggressively mediocre, and have multiple shot makers who can take and make shots from anywhere. And Oral Roberts, more than really anyone else before the Elite Eight in our side of the bracket, is tailor made to do all of that.

Duke will need to play inside out, destroy the boards, and impose will with size and athleticism to take ORU out of their rhythm. If we do that? I like our chances to make Sweet 16-- and considering Purdue has a pretty brutal second round draw imo, the shot they'll have at an Elite Eight is fairly decent as well.

Feels dumb as shit to say "either first round exit or Elite Eight," but that's the tournament for you. Matchups, matchups, matchups.
