West Virginia face off against a very tough Duke team in the upcoming Final Four odds competition.The Dukies were a legitimate contender going in as a No.1 seed. Most people saw them losing somewhere down the road though. Purdue had shot. So did Baylor. But all the Blue Devils did was prove why they are always a force in the betting tournament.
Duke has several talented scorers in Kyle Singler, John Scheyer and Nolan Smith but as we’ve seen in previous games in the March Madness betting these guys are likely to have off nights if a team can apply the defensive pressure. And that’s something the Mounties can do in spades.
West Virginia is the best remaining defensive team in the NCAA basketball betting tournament and its unique 1-3-1 zone has shut down much more prolific scorers than any player Duke will throw at them.
Duke is a 2.5 point favorite with a total of 131 at Bodog Sportsbook.
