The Duke Blue Devils and Robert Morris are playing live on the NCAA tournament second round schedule and the matchup is on CBS and streaming online from the March Madness website past 7:10 pm ET from the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina and that means it should be a Duke heavy crowd for the 16-seed against the number 1-seed in the south region.
Duke comes in after losing in the ACC tournament to Norte Dame, but they locked in a number one seed after the great season they had. The team went 29-4 this season and 15-3 in the ACC and now they are looking for Jahlil Okafor to take things over as the tourney gets underway. Okafor comes in after scoring 28 points and the team should not have much trouble with Robert Morris, as they are coming in as a 16 after winning the play-in game in the first Four.
Duke is ranked fourth in the nation in points per game this season with 80 per contest and across the board they have had success on that side of the court. The team is ranked third in the nation in field goal percentage and 21st in assists per game. The team did not lose in the month of February and last lost a game in the regular season to Notre Dame before falling to the team again in the ACC tournament.
Duke has been picked by many to make a run in the tournament and it comes as Kentucky is the presumptive favorites. The Wildcats are undefeated and they come in looking to get through the Midwest and into the Final Four without any upsets. No 16-seed has ever beaten a one and Duke comes in as one of the better one seeds this year and that likely means it won't be happening this time.
Notre Dame has wins this season over a number of teams that were in the tournament, including North Carolina, NC State, Louisville, Notre Dame and Virginia. Okafor is leading the team in scoring and Quinn Cook comes in looking to lead the team on a deep run this time in the tournament.
