The Athletic has live coverage of the Men’s Sweet 16 NCAA Tournament games Amid the stunning spins of the coaching carousel and the frantic movement in the transfer portal, it’s easy to forget the NCAA Tournament still has quite a few games left.

Cooper Flagg stamped his name among Blue Devils lore with a historic stat line in a resilient Sweet 16 win to advance and face red-hot Alabama.

Duke's All-American freshman posted 30 points, six rebounds and seven assists. He tied his career-high seven assists, proving to be an all-around talent in the Sweet 16 elimination game. Flagg entered the game as a finalist for the Naismith National Player of the Year award and he may have just put the final touches on any voters contemplating their decision.

Duke’s Kon Knueppel has distinguished himself with his consistency this season, but he still has the potential to be the Blue Devils’ most explosive player.
