Overall, Duke is expected to far surpass UC Berkeley in terms of overall talent, roster depth and game experience, and is the favorite to win. The key point is whether he can play the dominance he is famous for on the road to cover the 11.5-point deep set. The probability of Duke winning is extremely high, but whether it can win the game depends on its focus on the game and the resistance of the home team. Favor Duke to control the game with its strength, but be wary of its possible laxity after a big lead, resulting in a win or loss.
