Among the predictions, Myron Medcalf, senior college basketball writer for ESPN: "Duke. Virginia has been the most dominant team in America this season, and that lopsided win over Virginia Tech this week punctuated the breathtaking effort for Tony Bennett's program thus far. But I'm picking Duke, even though it will likely be without Tre Jones, because I think the only way a team might have a chance against Virginia would be if it possessed a collection of freakish, long, versatile talents who could (maybe) impose their will against this great squad. I don't think we've seen the best collective effort from Zion Williamson, Cam Reddish and RJ Barrett yet, but I think we will on Saturday."
