5 things to watch for as Syracuse and Duke play in front of record crowd (PS: Waters)

Weekend Predictions: Kansas tops Baylor (ESPN)

No. 4 Duke at Syracuse, 6 p.m. ET, ESPN, Saturday: This isn't the epic Duke-Syracuse matchup from last year, right? Let's pause for a moment and remember how special those games were. … But this matchup still means something. Coach Jim Boeheim's team won't have a postseason this year due to its NCAA issues and self-imposed staycation from the Big Dance. So the Orange ain't pushing for the bubble anymore, just pride. And that means something in games like this. You think Rakeem Christmas is going out without a fight in this matchup? On paper, Duke wins. Easily. But this is Syracuse-Duke. Syracuse will play its best game of the season. But Tyus Jones and Jahlil Okafor are tough to deal with. Bottom line is that we'll see another classic matchup between these two schools on Saturday. Get your popcorn ready.
