Winslow celebrated his 19th birthday on Thursday, but he's all business heading into tonight's matchup.
"At the end of the day, it's a business trip for Duke, about getting two wins," said Winslow, one of Duke's three freshman starters, according to ESPN. "I'm very focused on what this team needs to accomplish."
This will mark a battle of two coach K's as Utah's Larry Krystkowiak goes head-to-head with Duke's Mike Krzyzewski.
"I would never dis another Polish-American. We'd probably give our secret handshake," Krzyzewski told ESPN. "I admire what Larry's done. ... He took over a program where it had to rebuilt, but has had great tradition."
The Utes have been led by Wright this season as he has team-highs in points (14.9) and rebounds (5.3) per game while Okafor has guided the Blue Devils with a team-best 17.7 points and 9.0 rebounds per contest.
March Madness continues with Sweet 16 action tonight between Utah and Duke live from Texas.
