Statistical Matchup

Instant Analysis

Duke can hold teams in check from deep, but Oral Roberts has multiple threats from beyond the arc outside of Abmas.

If the Golden Eagles are able to escape the Blue Devils, they would likely match up with the Tennessee Volunteers, barring an upset. Tennessee yields a 3-point attempt rate of 41.6%, which ranks 316th in the country.

Oral Roberts can prove the weaknesses of the ACC that have persisted all year long are true. It also has a reasonable route to the Sweet 16 for a 12-seed.
