Syracuse Coach Eric Devendorf Previews Duke-Syracuse Tonight
Udoka Azubuike was arguably the most dominant player on the floor and he finished with 14 points (7-for-9 FG) and 11 rebounds before fouling out. Purdue got it down to one early in the second but the Red Raiders never surrendered the lead.
Clemson trailed 62-42, but climbed to within six with 2:27 left. Gabe DeVoe is third all-time in scoring in the NCAA Tournament (75 points) ... his average is first all-time with 25.0 points per game in three contests, third in points (75), fourth in field goals (28) and second in threes made (12) ... he posted the 27th "Triple Leadership" in program history against Kansas - leading the team in points, rebounds and assists ...
"So we did just enough".
Meanwhile, the No. 5 Tigers snuck past Charleston with a four-point win in the opening round before blowing No. 4 Auburn's doors off with an 84-53 victory.
Kansas has reached the Elite Eight in each of the last two seasons, but was knocked out by eventual national champion Villanova in 2016 and by OR in 2017.
Sophomore guard Malik Newman, who scored 17 points on 6-of-11 shooting, agreed that having Azubuike healthy makes all the difference for KU's offense. "And I don't think it will have much to do with the outcome of this weekend, though", Kansas coach Bill Self said.
"Congratulate Kansas", Brad Brownell said. West Virginia holds an 18-14 rebounding edge.

DeVoe did all that he could to extend Clemson's NCAA Tournament run, scoring a career-high 31 points on 10-for-17 shooting in his final game as a Tiger. The press caused three Villanova turnovers in a stretch of 65 seconds that helped West Virginia run off eight points in a row. "Just his presence alone", Graham said of Azubuike, "you can't duplicate it". "I don't know why we do that when we have a lead, just kind of relax".

The other top scorers for Clemson, Marcquise Reed and Shelton Mitchell, struggled mightily in the first half but were a driving force in a late comeback attempt by the Tigers.
Florida State is already in the Elite 8 after an impressive win over Gonazaga last night, and we've got three more ACC teams in action on Friday.
"The key really for us against Duke is we have to play better than we've played down there and than we've played in this tournament", Boeheim said.
That will bring Duke, a 69-65 victor over Syracuse, and that will ratchet up the meaning of Azubuike in the middle, what with Kansas's four-and-one approach this season differing from so many of Self's past teams and what with the margin for error not thick.
Syracuse was the last team added to the tournament and has yet to look pretty this March, but that's what the Orange does. "His size is so big that he's catching the ball five feet from the rim". I'm not going to let the odds beat me. They've had to win three games to make it this far, and they've done it with their outstanding defense, allowing just 56, 52 and 58 points in those games. This is the sixth time Bill Self's team has been seeded first since winning it all in 2008, but the Jayhawks haven't made the Final Four in that span.
"I think about it all the time".
