Don’t be surprised …
... if Marquette makes Duke play an ugly, slow-down game. The Golden Eagles aren’t as talented, but should be able to get the Blue Devils into a game they don’t want to play. (Katz)
... if Gonzaga gives the Wildcats all they can handle in the semifinal. (O'Neil)
... if the pseudo-home crowd in Kansas City lifts K-State to an upset of No. 1 Duke on Tuesday. (Lunardi)
