I don't see Boozer accomplishing anything inside on Woods. Boozer gets destroyed by tall players, such as Brendan Haywood and Alvin Jones. I agree with you that Arizona will defend the 3-point shot well. They led the Pac-10 in defending the 3, and everybody knows that is the first thing to do against Duke. Jason Williams will have his way with Jefferson, because Jefferson has never played against anyone like him. A key matchup will be Chris Duhon defending Gardner.

I did better than that (not my usual i assure you)but I
took MD for the first half, then double up on Duke
in the second..... what a sweet play.
Tonight, I think I will go with Duke. Only two possibilities in my mind....

1. very close game down to the wire. (even then 3 1/2 points
is a real possibility in the last few secs

2. I think Duke might run over Arizona. The main reason
for this is that Duke play in the Maryland game was akin
to; do or die, make or break, for all the marbles, pressure
cooked, winner take all agaionst a very inspired Maryland
team. i just dont think the Mich State game was at the same level. They won that game against a team that
threw interceptions and then freaked. I think Duke is already in
a "go for the jugular" mode. I think Arizona will want to
play patty cake and feel their way around til they smell the grim reaper, then
it will be a ball game.-g-

Like you say, whoever you choose, good luck and enjoy
some great hoops.
