Duke had been dominating in the tournament, winning their first two games by 67 points combined. However, they played a much closer game in the Sweet 16, beating Arizona 100-93. This will be the toughest test yet for the Blue Devils, going against an Alabama team that is also hot.

The Crimson Tide is coming off a 113-88 win over BYU, and they will have to put up a lot of points once again to keep up with Duke. Alabama leads the NCAA in points per game, averaging 91.4 this season, and they will likely have to score close to 100 to advance to the Final Four.

Cooper Flagg is the big star in this game, and the future number one overall pick in the NBA draft is fresh off a 30-point, seven-assist, three-block performance. Flagg is starting to heat up, and no player is more capable of taking over this tournament than the Duke freshman.

Mark Sears will look to at least match Flagg's production on the offensive end. Sears has plenty of experience in big games and is also coming off a massive night in the Sweet 16. He led his team with 34 points and eight assists on 10-16 shooting from beyond the arc.
