What this means for both programs
Duke’s two wins over Arizona in the same season highlight a team that grows under pressure: Flagg’s scoring jumped, the defense tightened at halftime, and depth players stepped up. For Arizona, the pattern of losing halftime leads is a recurring issue that coach Tommy Lloyd will need to address. For Duke’s March Madness odds, the path through the Elite Eight looks promising with Flagg leading the charge.
