A coveted spot in the Elite Eight is up for grabs as the No. 1 Duke Blue Devils (33-3) clash with the No. 4 Arizona Wildcats (24-12) in an NCAA Tournament showdown.
Arizona's season has been a rollercoaster, marked by early struggles before finding its rhythm in national tournament play. The Wildcats endured a rocky 4-5 start but responded by winning 13 of their next 14 games. A late-season slump saw them drop five of their final eight contests, yet they managed to bounce back with victories over Kansas and Texas Tech in the conference tournament. Following a loss to Houston, Arizona regained its footing with back-to-back wins over Akron and Oregon to advance.
Duke, meanwhile, has been dominant for most of the season. Two of their three losses came within the opening six games—both close battles against Kentucky and Kansas. The Blue Devils then rattled off a long winning streak from late November through early February before a setback against Clemson. They regrouped quickly, securing victories over a string of ACC opponents—including North Carolina twice—en route to an ACC Tournament title. Since then, Duke has maintained its momentum with convincing wins over Mount St. Mary's and Baylor.
