How to watch Duke vs. Mount St. Mary's: Odds, storylines for men's NCAA Tournament matchup
Cooper Flagg's ankle has been the talk of the town, and in Duke's matchup against Mount St. Mary's, we will see how he looks post-injury. Duke has a chance to win the tournament, and Mount St. Mary's inevitably does not. But, the Mountaineers were 23-12 during the season, racking up the most wins since joining NCAA Division I in 1988-89. In their 83-72 win over American, they became the third MAAC team with three players (Dola Adebayo, Jedy Cordilia, Dallas Hobbs) scoring over 17 points in an NCAA tournament game. Advertisement We've got a breakdown of the strengths and weaknesses on both sides of the matchup, plus odds and viewing info. Our game previews are a collaborative effort between The Athletic staff, The Field of 68 and Brad Evans' The Gaming Juice. Own your bracket pool with The Athletic Projecting the bracket | Best picks to win the title | Best bracket names Strengths: As counterintuitive as it may be for a team excelling as one of the most efficient offenses in years, Duke's strength is on the defensive side of the ball. The smallest player in its starting lineup is 6-foot-6 Tyrese Proctor. The smallest player in its rotation is 6-foot-5 Caleb Foster. The Blue Devils have one of the best rim protectors in 7-foot-2 center Khaman Maluach, and when Maliq Brown is healthy and playing the five, no team in the country is better at switching. They are second nationally in average length of possession defensively because you cannot run offense against them, and the reason why opponents struggle is all-world freshman Cooper Flagg. Flagg is a defensive weapon who's tough and physical and can guard up or down, and he takes pride in doing work on that end of the floor. His best attribute is his ability to be a great team player who will do all the little things needed to win. When ACC play began, he became an elite offensive weapon, shooting over 40 percent on 3-pointers and taking over games as a scorer and a distributor. Weaknesses: For all of those glowing words about Flagg, he injured his ankle in the ACC tournament. Duke won it without him, but Flagg's status has become one of the biggest storylines of the NCAA Tournament. With or without Flagg, the concern with any squad built around elite freshmen is that it is too young. Only two freshmen-dominant teams have won the national championship: 2012 Kentucky and 2015 Duke. Inexperience is a valid concern with these Blue Devils based on how their season has gone. Their two non-conference losses were due to a lack of execution down the stretch with Flagg's late turnover against Kentucky and a string of poor possessions late against Kansas. As good as Duke is, it will have to win games deep in the NCAA Tournament in crunch time. Can the Blue Devils do it? Advertisement Outlook: It's national title or bust for Duke. It almost always is with that program, but when you've been ranked as a top-two team on KenPom all season with the presumptive No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, winning a championship is the expectation. Duke has one of the country's premier defenses, with the likely National Player of the Year leading the way, and its role players fully embrace the job they are being asked to do. Auburn is the favorite to win the title. Duke is not that far behind. —Rob Dauster Outlook: The Mountaineers were something of a surprising winner of the MAAC automatic bid, picking off an Iona team that beat regular season champion Quinnipiac in the semifinals. After struggling early on this season, The Mount got hot at the right time, winning 11 of the last 14 games after sitting at just 4-5 in the league in late January. The Mountaineers win with their defense. They don't force a ton of turnovers, but they limit dribble penetration and force opponents into taking tough jumpers. That works well against teams with a similar size. That doesn't work quite as well when a mid-major is going up against a high-major. If the Mountaineers are going to pull off an upset, it will come down to the play of Dallas Hobbs at the point. They rank 359th out of 364 teams in turnover rate. That will not work in March. —Rob Dauster This matchup can also be streamed on the NCAA March Madness Live app and Paramount+.

Mount St. Mary's beats American in NCAA tournament first four to earn date with Duke
DAYTON, Ohio — Dola Adebayo and Jedy Cordilla each scored 22 points as Mount St. Mary's defeated American 83-72 in an NCAA Tournament matchup of No. 16 seeds at the First Four on Wednesday night. The Mountaineers (23-12) earned a date with No. 1 seed Duke on Friday in an East Region game at Raleigh, North Carolina. Geoff Sprouse led American (22-13) with 18 points on six 3-pointers off the bench. Elijah Stephens scored 12. American leading scorer Matt Rogers injured his right knee four minutes into the game. Rogers attempted to play through the pain, but with 5:28 remaining in the first half he fell to the court, was helped off and did not return. Rogers, who averages 17 points per game, finished with seven points in eight minutes. He watched the second half from the bench on crutches. Both teams were shooting better than 60% and went a combined 8 of 19 from 3-point range through the first 10 minutes. Dallas Hobbs beat the buzzer with a 3 to put Mount St. Mary's ahead 48-38 at halftime. Hobbs finished with 17 points. Mount St. Mary's was missing leading 3-point shooter Carmelo Pacheco, who hasn't played since breaking a finger in the regular-season finale. But the Mountaineers stayed hot from long range in the second half. Malcolm Dread's 3-pointer put them ahead 64-51 with 11:26 left. Mount St. Mary improved to 3-6 in the NCAA Tournament. It was the 71st meeting between the Washington D.C. area schools. American leads the series 37-34 and had won four meetings in a row. Wallner writes for the Associated Press.
