In a thrilling Sweet 16 matchup, Cooper Flagg's clutch three-pointer right before halftime ignited Duke's momentum, securing a 100-93 victory over Arizona. He finished the game with 30 points and impressive support from teammate Kon Knueppel. Duke continued their strong performance to the Elite Eight, where they dominated Alabama 85-65. Flagg's contributions remained key, but the team showcased their depth with multiple players stepping up, including Tyrese Proctor and Knueppel, solidifying their status as a formidable contender in the tournament.
"We talk about inflection points, and the end of the half is a really big inflection point. So it was a tie ballgame, and hitting two threes gives us a bunch of momentum coming into the second half."
"Something that I've said a lot through this whole year is we just have such a talented team. Each night could be somebody else's night."
"Alabama-Duke had the look of a classic beforehand, and then the Blue Devils jumped out to a 15-5 lead five minutes in and were never really challenged in a 85-65 win."
"Tyrese was huge for us. Proctor's steal and fast-break layup started to break things open in the first half."
