Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Just a quick post today since its a holiday. Duke and Syracuse took care of business last night. Syracuse won the Maui Classic with a 74-67 victory over Baylor. Duke played as good as they have all season in spurts and as bad as they have all season at times but still managed to defeat Alabama 74-64. They'll play #4 Arizona on Friday. Duke won't be able to get away with the same level of play if they expect to defeat the Wildcats.
Wake Forest takes on Kansas and Miami takes on George Washington today. Check out links, previews, and more below.
