Will Robert Morris mount any sort of challenge to Duke?
The Robert Morris Colonials will become the next No. 16 seed to try beating a No. 1 seed when they take on the Duke Blue Devils Friday evening in Charlotte.
Robert Morris made a surprise run through the Northeast Conference Tournament, knocking off top seed St. Francis Brooklyn in the final round. The Colonials went on to face North Florida in the First Four, advancing with an 81-77 win. If historic trends hold, this will surely be Robert Morris' final game in the NCAA Tournament. The Colonials are 172nd in KenPom, the lowest-ranked team remaining in the field.
Duke doesn't need much introduction. The Blue Devils are still smarting after dropping a game to No. 14 seed Mercer in last year's tournament, and they added Jahlil Okafor this time around. Duke doesn't have many obvious weaknesses on its team and will be strong favorites to advance out of the South region.
