THE "S" FACTOR

Duke has been only true #1 seed at the tournament. Coach K has the secret weapon that many teams wish that they could obtain, which is Kyle Singler, Nolan Smith, and Jon Scheyer. In the Final Four game against West Virginia, the THREE S's had a combined 63 of the teams 78 total points. Singler made up for his mere 5 points last game to an amazing 21 points, while Jon Schreyer had an astonishing 23 points to help his team fly past the Mountaineers. He is going to have to play a huge role vs. BUTLER if they are going to become National Champions. Duke is going to have to get the ball down low to avoid the stunning defense from the Bulldogs. Throughout the tournament, Butler has averaged 10 steals a game and Duke is going to have to protect the ball well and create enough spacing to take the essential shots needed to beat these dominating Bulldogs.
