Duke vs. Texas Tech prediction

This is a game that can truly go either way. They are two of the top-ranked teams in the West Region for a reason.

The Blue Devils showed that they can really step up in crunch time to close out a game, especially as they try to send Coach K out on top with another National Championship. Even with players like Paolo Banchero to help lead Duke, they will have to face the ultra tough defense of the Red Raiders, who allowed an average of 57.5 points per game through the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament.

When it comes to who wins, Texas Tech gets the slight edge.

Prediction: Texas Tech beats Duke 78-70
