Duke vs Baylor For Sweet 16 Birth

The #1 seed Duke Blue Devils will host the Baylor Bears live from the Lenovo Center at 2:15 for a chance at a Sweet 16 birth. The Blue Devils returned All-American Cooper Flagg versus Mt Saint Mary's after injuring his ankle against Georgia Tech in the ACC quarterfinals and missed the remaining ACC tournament. Cooper reminded everyone when healthy he's the best player in America, with his team first mindset. The Blue Devils went on winning the ACC tourney, forcing the next man mentality on a experienced group that has won over 30 games this year.

Baylor is led by NBA lottery pick VJ Edgecomb, who has averaged 15,5,and 3 in the Big 12, where his athleticism and explosiveness has NBA GM's drooling at his potential.

Baylor is known for it's halfcourt zone packages that mix between a 1-3-1, and extended 1-1-2-1, where Duke will use it's depth and perimeter to beat the bears. On the perimeter, Duke will hope to get some production from freshman sensation Isaiah Evans who finished 0-5 from deep, but defensive prowess affected the game with his length. Look for the backcourt to continue it's serve against the Bears, where Duke set a program record in the round of 64 with 21 assists, to just 2 turnovers.
