The No. 1 Duke Blue Devils and No. 4 Arizona Wildcats both have aspirations of playing in San Antonio next weekend, but one of those dreams will die Thursday after the two sides have tipped off and are playing right now for a spot in the Elite Eight.

Cooper Flagg and Duke have been the juggernaut they were advertised to be, winning their first two March Madness games by a combined 67 points against Mount St. Mary's and Baylor. Arizona, meanwhile, got a scare from familiar foe Oregon in the second round after handling Akron handily, ultimately defeating the Ducks 87-83 behind 29 points from Love. The last time these two teams faced in the Sweet 16, No. 5 Arizona upset No. 1 Duke in Anaheim in 2011. This iteration of the Blue Devils will try to avoid a similar fate at the hands of the Wildcats with Jon Scheyer at the helm What had been a comfortable Duke lead is now something slightly more anxiety-inducing. The Blue Devils led by nearly 20 points at one point in the second half, but the Wildcats have it down to five points, 91-86, with 1:52 remaining. Caleb Love has a game-high 33 points for Arizona while Cooper Flagg has 27 points, seven assists and six rebounds for Duke.
