As we all learned last year, Round of 64 games are never to be overlooked. Never. Duke takes on North Dakota State in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Friday, as the Bison defeated the NCCU Eagles on Wednesday in the First Four. The good news is that Marques Bolden, injured in the second Duke-UNC matchup, will return; however, Jack White will not. Jack injured a hamstring, apparently during practice, and is unavailable. Again, these games are never to be taken for granted: the Bison are no easy walk. However, it will be interesting to see how NDSU reacts to seeing players like Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett, the likes of which they’ve surely never seen before.
