Here’s a look at the East Region of the NCAA Tournament as March Madness gets set to tip off Tuesday:
No. 1 Duke (31-3)
Conference: ACC
Coach: Jon Scheyer (third season)
Post-ing up: Freshman phenom Cooper Flagg — a near-lock to be the No. 1-overall pick in the NBA draft — has fully lived up to expectations; he averaged 19.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks per game in the regular season but suffered an ankle injury in the ACC Tournament. Scheyer deserves credit for making this freshman-heavy roster mesh — Duke had both the best offense (83.5 points per game) and defense (61.4 points against) in the conference.
