“Will History Repeat Itself? Duke Eyes Sweet 16 Showdown Against Arizona in Epic Rematch!”
The Duke Blue Devils are the current favorite to win the NCAA Championship and there are a lot of reasons to believe they can pull it off. They have the best player in college basketball in Cooper Flagg, they have a lot of talented players in multiple positions. Tyrese Proctor is shooting lights out at the moment, and Jon Scheyer is proving he is a very good young coach. If there is any knock on the Duke team, it is that they don’t play in a ton of close games. They’ve basically blown everyone out all season long, and when they have been in close games like the one against Clemson, Kentucky, and Kansas which just so happen to be losses. That isn’t to say the team hasn’t won any close games, they beat North Carolina in the ACC Tournament by three (without Flagg), and they beat Auburn by six earlier in the year. It is just that they have very little resistance because they are so talented. The first round they destroyed Mount St. Mary’s, racking up 93 points and holding them to under 50. Against Baylor a lot of the first half looked like it was going to be a close game. It was not. They won by 23, pulling away and never looking back.
