Michigan, who is ranked No. 1 for the first time in 13 years, will face Duke in a top-five matchup for the seventh time in history. The Blue Devils have won four of the previous six matchups when both programs were ranked inside the Top 5. Jon Sciambi and Fran Fraschilla are on the call from Houston, while Dan Shulman, Jay Bilas and Kris Budden are on assignment in Washington, D.C.
