Duke cruised past Presbyterian (113-44) and Fairfield (109-59) to reach Tuesday's match against Michigan State, an opponent whom Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski expects to give his team its first real challenge.
"That setting will be a Final Four setting," Krzyzewski said, via ESPN. "All four of them are potential, along with about 20 others, of being a Final Four team so that will be a great setting for this squad to be in this early."
Blue Devils freshmen Jahlil Okafor and Justise Winslow haven't failed to live up to expectations, averaging 18.0 points and 16.5 points, respectively.
For the Spartans, coach Tom Izzo sees the tournament as a chance to compete against some of the NCAA's top teams.
"It's the best teams in the last 10 years, and we're still included as one of them," Izzo said. "I'm looking at this as our chance to take another step forward in a long season. It's a great way to start off college basketball.
"Duke has been dominating. They're playing 10 different guys - nine are McDonald's All-Americans. They've got maybe as good a recruiting class as there's been in recent years. You put that together with guys like (Quinn) Cook and (Rasheed) Sulaimon, it's a pretty imposing group."
Michigan State escaped Navy on Friday with a 64-59 win, thanks to 25 points from senior guard Travis Trice and 12 points from senior swingman Branden Dawson.
