Duke Form

Duke are on a 10-game win streak heading into this second-round matchup with Tennessee.

The Blue Devils have not lost a game since the back-to-back defeats to #19 Miami (FL) and #8 Virginia in the first half of February.

They responded to those losses by winning the final six games of the regular season, and kept that run going with a 96-69 win against Pittsburgh in the ACC tournament.

Duke then avenged those two previously mentioned regular season losses, as they beat Miami (FL) 85-78 and Virginia 59-49 to win the conference crown.

The Blue Devils’ streak hit 10 games in the first round of this tournament as they blew out Oral Roberts 74-51.

Tennessee Form

Tennessee’s form has faltered over the past several weeks, with five wins and six defeats coming in their last 11 games.

The Volunteers ended the regular season with a 79-70 defeat to Auburn, their fifth defeat in eight games.

They bounced back in the first round of the SEC tournament as they ran out convincing winners against Mississippi, 70-55.

Tennessee failed to follow up that win though, as they bowed out of the conference tournament with a 79-71 defeat.

The Volunteers will now look to avoid exiting a tournament in the second round for the second time, after beating Louisiana-Lafayette 58-55.
