Michigan's showdown with Duke will be decided by one thing

For the first time in 13 years, Michigan basketball will play Duke on Saturday, in a game that doesn't really need any hype.

It's No. 1 vs No. 3. Michigan and Duke have a combined record of 49-3 this season. They are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the Kenpom rankings, and also have the No. 1 and No. 2 adjusted defenses, according to those same metrics.

Both teams have superstars. Cameron Boozer is going to be the No. 1 overall pick. He can do it all. He shoots 58 percent from the field and 39 percent from 3-point range.
