Caleb Love's 35-point game not enough as Cooper Flagg masterclass propels Duke to Elite Eight in March Madness

The top-seeded Duke Blue Devils scored a massive 100-93 win in the Sweet 16 over the fourth-seeded Arizona Wildcats. This game, which had a lot of exciting action, was also the final college basketball game for Arizona senior Caleb Love, who scored 35 points.

Cooper Flagg dominated as he finished the game with 30 points, six rebounds, seven assists, and three blocks. The Blue Devils were outstanding on offense, shooting 60.0% from the floor (33-55), 57.9% from beyond the arc (11-19) and 85.2% from the free-throw line (23-27).

The Blue Devils raced to a 19-point lead at one point but failed to cover the spread. Arizona was no slouch and registered 45.5/46.2/91.3 shooting percentages as a team.

However, no other Wildcat scored more than 15 points.

Who do the Duke Blue Devils play in the Elite Eight?

The Duke Blue Devils are set to face the second seed in the region, the Alabama Crimson Tide. The Crimson Tide won their Sweet 16 game on Friday against the BYU Cougars 113-88 and made an NCAA Tournament record 25 3-point shots.

ESPN Bet has this game listed with a 172.5 points total.

These teams are built similarly, with two superstars leading their offenses. Duke is run by Cooper Flagg, while Alabama is led by Mark Sears.

Duke is a sizable favorite to advance out of the second weekend and make it to the Final Four; it is a -290 favorite to win, while Alabama is at +240.

The East Region has been pretty chalky throughout the NCAA Tournament, so it is only fitting that the top two seeds clash for a spot in the Final Four.
