What will it take for Alabama to beat Duke, make another Final Four?
There’s no time for a hangover in March, so the party following Alabama’s outburst against BYU was short.
Those 25 made 3s and 113 points scored Thursday night on BYU don’t carry over to Saturday.
And Duke won’t be intimidated by those NCAA tournament records when they meet at 7:49 p.m. CT Saturday for a spot in the Final Four.
Alabama (28-8) is a 6.5-point underdog to the top-seeded Blue Devils coming off quite possibly the program’s greatest offensive performance. That’s not stunning for a few reasons.
Duke is 34-3 and has lost just once since the end of November.
They’re deep.
They’re long.
And the Blue Devils are stacked with NBA talent including the favorite to win national player of the year, Cooper Flagg.
