Game Of tournament _Check out Duke basketball schedule officially set: Time, date for Duke basketball’s Elite Eight March Madness matchup against Alabama

The stage is set for an epic showdown in the Elite Eight of the NCAA March Madness tournament. The Duke Blue Devils are gearing up to face off against the Alabama Crimson Tide, and the excitement is palpable.

 

*The Road to the Elite Eight*

 

Duke, led by their phenomenal freshman Cooper Flagg, has been on a tear throughout the tournament. They dominated Mount St. Mary’s and Baylor in the early rounds, and then edged out Arizona in a nail-biting 100-93 victory. Flagg’s performance against Arizona was nothing short of spectacular, with 30 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 blocks, and a steal ¹.

 

Alabama, on the other hand, has been lighting up the scoreboard with their high-powered offense. They dropped 113 points on BYU in the Sweet 16, with Mark Sears setting a tournament record for most three-pointers made by an SEC player ¹.

 

*The Matchup*

 

The Duke-Alabama matchup promises to be an instant classic. Both teams boast incredible talent, athleticism, and coaching. Duke’s size and athleticism, led by Flagg, will look to exploit Alabama’s defense, which has struggled to defend the paint. Meanwhile, Alabama’s quick pace and explosive offense, led by Sears, will aim to outgun Duke’s stingy defense ¹.

 

*Prediction*

 

According to ESPN’s Matchup Predictor, Duke is favored to win with a 72.4% chance of emerging victorious. However, Alabama’s offense has been nearly unstoppable, and if they can find a way to contain Flagg, they might just pull off the upset ².
