Duke, led by its highly touted freshman Cooper Flagg, entered as one of the tournament favorites. They quickly solidified that with their performances in the first two rounds, beating their opponents Mount St. Mary’s and Baylor by 44 and 33 points, respectively. Entering into the Sweet 16, the Duke Blue Devils are now the odds-on favorite to win the championship, per ESPN Bet, but to avoid the upset they have to get past another college basketball blue blood, the Arizona Wildcats.
Arizona finished as the runner-up to 1-seed Houston in the Big 12 conference this year, which was good enough to earn them a 4-seed in the tournament. Led by guards Caleb Love and Jaden Bradley, Arizona easily dispatched 13-seed Akron in the first round before winning a tough game against 5-seed Oregon in round two. They’re hoping to pull off what would be one of the major upsets of the tournament so far with a win over Duke to advance to the Elite Eight.
