College Dance Off!

1 Duke vs 8 Michigan, Sunday 2:45 PM ET, CBS

The Wolverines advanced to the third round by delivering Tennessee a massive 75-45 blowout.  They take on the Blue Devils, who breezed past Hampton, for a spot in the Sweet Sixteen.

Starting Lineups
Duke: Nolan Smith G, Kyle Singler F, Mason Plumlee F, Miles Plumlee F, Seth Curry G

Michigan: Jordan Morgan F, Zack Novak F-G, Stu Douglass G, Tim Hardaway Jr. G, Darius Morris G

Player to Watch: Kyrie Irving G, Duke
After missing three months due to a toe injury, Irving put up 14 points in only 20 minutes off the bench against the Pirates.  Prior to his hiatus, the freshman rookie was averaging 17.4 points a game.

In My Bracket: Duke 
As stable as the Blue Devils looked in their win against Hampton, they’re up against a much more skilled and determined team.  I’m going to give Duke the win because I think they are the overall better team, but if the Wolverines hit all their outside shots they me be able to pull off an upset.
