The Duke Blue Devils men’s basketball team spent the entire season preparing for this moment, and now, head coach Jon Scheyer and his squad enter the NCAA Tournament as one of the prominent national title favorites.
Freshman sensation Cooper Flagg and his teammates roll into the 2025 edition of March Madness with 27 victories in their last 28 games, including a 19-1 conference record in the regular season and an ACC Tournament title. Flagg, the ACC Player of the Year, missed the last two-and-a-half games of the tournament with a sprained ankle, but classmate Kon Knueppel averaged 21.0 points per game to beat the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, North Carolina Tar Heels, and Louisville Cardinals in his absence.Flagg is officially active for Friday’s game, the team announced ahead of its introductory press conference, and all that stands between the Blue Devils and a spot in the second round is a Mount St. Mary’s squad with 12 wins in its last 15 games.
