“Could This Be Flagg’s Moment to Shine? Don’t Miss the Upcoming Showcase!”

Duke is a different challenge for Alabama than BYU. BYU was lost all game on defense, they didn’t know who to go after and where the ball was, the rotations were awful, and once the guys for the Crimson Tide got into a rhythm, they couldn’t get out of it. With Duke, they switch everything, every time. There aren’t going to be mismatches or lost players. That doesn’t mean Alabama can’t score on them. In fact if you watch the way that Alabama plays they inbound the ball immediately looking to push the tempo. BYU played into that and was pushing the ball as well. Duke will not do that. They are too smart and too good in the half court to play at Alabama’s speed. This team also presents a matchup nightmare for Alabama. Sears is 6’1″, he can be exploited on defense and I expect the Blue Devils to do it often. Chris Youngblood is only 6’4″. Tyrese Proctor, Kon Knueppel, and Cooper Flagg are all at least 6’6″. They will have an advantage in height at virtually every position.
