Alabama has chipped into Duke's lead over the first four minutes of the second half. Grant Nelson blocked a Cooper Flagg dunk and Mark Sears hit a 3-pointer. Duke leads 52-45 at the under-16 timeout with Alabama's Chris Youngblood looking to cap an and-one after the TV timeout.

And his former player, assistant coach and handpicked successor, Jon Scheyer, got the country's top recruit Cooper Flagg to come to Duke — then retooled the Blue Devils around him and got them back to the Final Four in just his third year in charge.

The 2025 NCAA Men's Tournament continued with the Elite Eight on Saturday night! First, No. 1 seed Florida used a late 18-4 run to avoid the upset attempt from third-seeded Texas Tech. The Gators returned to the Final Four for the first time since 2014 and will play the winner of Michigan State - Auburn.
