I believe Miami's chances are centered around Omier's health. If he can play and play well, they can make a run. If not, their chances become limited due to the lack of rebounding and rim protection. I like to think Duke would have beaten the U even if Omier had played, but any reasonable person would have to admit that Duke benefited greatly from his being out.
Also, how healthy is Sasser? Another big question.
