What you need to know about Duke
Duke strolled past the Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles 80-62 on Friday to extend its winning streak to four games. Duke can attribute much of its success to Kyle Filipowski, who dropped a double-double on 21 points and 14 rebounds.
Jeremy Roach also had 18 points in the victory and the fourth-year guard is now shooting a career-best 47.3% from the field and 40.0% from the 3-point line. The Blue Devils have primarily gone nine-deep this season but that depth could be tested against an Arkansas squad that has gone 10-11 deep at times this year.
What you need to know about Arkansas
Meanwhile, Arkansas lost to the North Carolina Tar Heels on the road by a decisive 87-72 margin last time out. Arkansas' loss came about despite a quality game from Tramon Mark, who scored 34 points to go along with five rebounds. Layden Blocker was another key contributor, scoring 11 points along with 3 steals.
After beginning the season ranked in the top 15, Arkansas has slid out of the AP Top 25 with losses in three of its last four games. That includes a stunning home loss to UNC-Greensboro where the Razorbacks were favored by 14.5 points. However, Eric Musselman's squad has been to three consecutive Sweet 16s and it feels like a matter of time before a group headlined by several high-profile transfers starts to gel.
