Pick
I’m backing Miami here. This is a quick turnaround for Duke after an emotional and big win over North Carolina in their last game while Miami has played a lot of their best basketball at home, going 4-0 in conference home games this season. This is a talented Duke team, but I think Miami is just as good with a significant edge in experience. Give me Miami here.
