Game Preview
Duke’s Jared McCain is hotter than lava, and Houston boasts the nation’s top defensive unit.
Something has to give when McCain and the fourth-seeded Blue Devils (26-8) face top-seeded Houston (32-4) in the Sweet 16 on Friday night in the South Region in Dallas.
McCain set a Duke NCAA Tournament record with eight 3-pointers in Sunday’s 93-55 trouncing of 12th-seeded James Madison in the second round. Quinn Cook held the old mark of seven, set when Duke famously was upset by Mercer in the first round of the 2014 tournament.
