We all can’t be as lucky as the fans in Anaheim will be this weekend watching the West Regional. This regional has all the makings of being a great one, and one matchup in particular could surprise a lot of people – Arizona and Duke.

Dating back to when Coach K took over this Duke team, and the great Lute Olsen led Arizona to many tournament appearances. But not only is the past great with these teams, the present and future look pretty bright too.
This game has two of the most talked about and NBA ready players in the country as of now in Duke’s Kyrie Irving and Arizona’s Derrick Williams. But that’s where the similarities stop.
