Duke and Cooper Flagg were too much for the Wildcats to overcome.

State of play: No. 1 seed Duke beat No. 4 seed UofA 100-93 in the Sweet 16 last night.

Flagg burnished his credentials as the best player in college basketball, scoring 30 points with 6 rebounds and 7 assists.
Wildcats star Caleb Love also had a big night. The North Carolina transfer put up 35 points in his 10th and final game against the Blue Devils.

What’s next: Duke will play Alabama in the Elite 8 on Saturday.
