Arizona and head coach Tommy Lloyd are seeking redemption against Duke and Cooper Flagg in the Sweet 16 after falling to them earlier this season. The Wildcats have been impressive throughout March Madness, showing their strength on both ends of the floor. Caleb Love will also have a personal stake in this matchup, facing familiar opponents in Tyrese Proctor and Jon Scheyer. After playing a key role in ending the Coach K era, Love now has a chance to bring Cooper Flagg’s freshman season to a close.
What strategies can Arizona implement to overcome Duke? How will the key matchups shape the game?
Arizona is gearing up for a Sweet 16 showdown against Duke and Cooper Flagg, but they enter the matchup as significant underdogs. The Wildcats, led by Caleb Love, are 9.5-point underdogs, a line that raises questions about whether Arizona is being undervalued or if the spread is justified.
The crew will analyze whether this point spread is too high or if Arizona truly deserves to be considered a near double-digit underdog. Are Carter Bryant, Henri Veesaar, KJ Lewis, Jaden Bradley, and the rest of the Wildcats being overlooked, or is Duke simply that dominant?
