The Duke Blue Devils vs. Michigan State Spartans and Kentucky Wildcats vs. Auburn Tigers offer a fantastic Elite 8 slate in the 2019 NCAA Tournament.
On Saturday night, the Elite 8 of the 2019 NCAA Tournament got underway with two phenomenal games as the Texas Tech Red Raiders and Virginia Cavaliers punched tickets to the Final Four. On Sunday afternoon, the remaining two spots in Minneapolis will be filled as March Madness continues with the Duke Blue Devils and Michigan State Spartans squaring off for the East Region title and the Kentucky Wildcats and Auburn Tigers battling for the Midwest Region crown.
In the first game of the afternoon of Elite 8 action, Kentucky will take on a familiar foe in Auburn. And SEC team will emerge out of the Midwest Region, but the clash of these teams to find out who should be fascinating. With P.J. Washington back, the Wildcats look like the best version of themselves. Having said that Auburn, even without Chuma Okeke, is firing on all cylinders under Bruce Pearl with Bryce Brown and Justin Harper leading a 3-point barrage.
Despite having Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett, Duke hasn’t been at the top of their game for the NCAA Tournament, narrowly edging out both UCF and Virginia Tech. Now they come up against a Michigan State team that is playing a tough brand of basketball behind Cassius Winston. However, both teams could be without key components as Cam Reddish for Duke and Nick Ward for Michigan are dealing with injuries.
