Duke vs Arkansas predictions
This game has huge repercussions, Not just for Ian McMillan for BetSided reasons. If Duke wins, it will be the Blue Devils’ first trip to the Final Four since winning it all in 2015. Of course, losing to the Razorbacks means it would be the end of an impressive training career for Krzyzewski. Arkansas is looking to reach the Final Four for the first time since 1995.
This would go to the wire, but Paulo Panchero would not leave Coach K. If Duke bows out in Final Four in New Orleans, so be it. It’s hard to win in the final week of the tournament. While it took everything to beat Texas Tech Thursday night, look for Duke to do whatever it takes to get another one so Coach K can raise one last banner in the Final Four.
Prediction: Duke 81, Arkansas 77
