  • On Saturday, March 29, 2025, the Duke Blue Devils, a 1 seed and the lone ACC team remaining, faced the Alabama Crimson Tide at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., in the East Region Elite Eight, with a Final Four trip on the line.
  • Duke, coached by Jon Scheyer, advanced to the Elite Eight after defeating Arizona in a game where they led 78-68 in the second half, ultimately winning 100-93, and where sensational freshman Cooper Flagg played a key role.
  • Alabama, with a 28-8 record , reached the Elite Eight after guard Mark Sears led the team, scoring 34 points and making 10 three-pointers in their Sweet 16 victory over BYU, where they scored 113 points.
  • Jon Scheyer noted his team's late arrival and treatment after their previous game, stating, "Our guys didn’t get back until about 2:00, 2:30 last night until it was all said and done with treatment and everything like that."
  • Duke was favored by 6.5 points in the matchup, and the winner of the Duke-Alabama game will advance to the Final Four in San Antonio and be two wins away from a national championship, with Duke needing to defend the three-point line effectively against Alabama's potent offense, while Alabama's defense will be crucial to their success.
