Duke basketball keys to victory against Arkansas

No Turnovers

Arkansas does not have as elite of a defense as Texas Tech, but the Razorbacks defense can get after things.

Gonzaga was forced into 15 turnovers in the Sweet 16, which resulted in 10 points for the Razorbacks.

Arkansas turned just six Vermont turnovers into nine points and found 15 points off 17 turnovers from New Mexico State.

Duke will need its ball handlers, Jeremy Roach and Wendell Moore, to be strong with the ball and value each possession against a stingy Arkansas defense. The experience against the ball pressure of Texas Tech should benefit the Blue Devils.
