This is a rematch of a game that Duke won by eight despite not having point guard Jeremy Roach.
Roach's ball-handling abilities will keep Duke from turning it over as many times as it did in that meeting.
Roach is also an excellent passer and distributor who will set up his well-sized wings to use their size inside against Pitt's defense.
On defense, Duke's improved ball-screen defense will keep the Panthers from achieving dribble penetration as often as they did in the first meeting.
Pitt also relies heavily on three-point shooting, but the Blue Devils' defense is regularly effectively attentive to the perimeter.
