Duke Game Tonight: Duke vs. Texas Tech Injuries, Odds, Prediction
The Duke basketball program is back in action in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
It is do-or-die time yet again for the Duke basketball team as the Blue Devils are matched up against Texas Tech in the Sweet 16 of the West Regional.
Texas Tech dumped Montana State and rallied to defeat Notre Dame in the Round of 32 while Duke had similar results against Cal State Fullerton and Michigan State.
The two programs have not met since the 2018-19 season in Madison Square Garden, where Zion Williamson led the Blue Devils on a late second-half charge for victory.
Since, Texas Tech has changed head coaches as Chris Beard left Lubbock for Austin as the head coach of the Texas Longhorns and Mark Adams was promoted as the head coach.
The Red Raiders have one of the best defenses in the country, and the high-powered Duke offense will be put to the test on Thursday night in San Francisco.

Griffin twisted his ankle and did not return against the Spartans but appeared ready to return to action if needed.
Head coach Mike Krzyzewski said that his freshman forward practiced this week without pain and will be ready to go on Thursday night.
