OBSERVATIONS
Beating Arizona State "was an important win for us because we really hadn't been challenged yet," Duke center Brian Zoubek said after Wednesday night's 64-53 victory.
The Blue Devils (5-0) get another challenge today.
UConn (4-0) also enters the game undefeated, and coach Jim Calhoun called his team's semifinal blowout of LSU a "breakout game" after the Huskies' first three underwhelming performances. Guards Jerome Dyson and Kemba Walker each poured in 20 points to win 81-55.
