Our March Madness betting picks expect plenty of fireworks when the top two seeds in the East in Duke and Alabama face off. Back the Blue Devils to eclipse their team total vs. a shoddy Crimson Tide defense.
The top two seeds in the East Region square off in the Elite Eight on Saturday with the Alabama Crimson Tide taking on the Duke Blue Devils.
You have to think that at some point, Alabama coach Nate Oats will get his team to slow down just a bit and focus on defense. However, after five months of seeing the Tide try to outscore everybody with a frenetic pace, it's clear that this run-and-gun philosophy is in their DNA. That could be their undoing with an elite Duke offense on deck.
They surrendered 81 points to No. 15 seed Robert Morris in the opening round and were fortunate to face a Saint Mary's squad that couldn't hit an open shot in the second round. In the Sweet 16, BYU scored 88 points against them despite going just 6-for-30 from deep.
