Around College Basketball

I wish injury on no one. Kid is so exciting to watch. He’s going to play in the NBA for a long time. I hope he can play in the Tournament. He’ll only have a chance at one.

Now the fact that Duke has their season wrecked? Um….Sorry I won’t shed a tear they have had plenty of good fortune.
 
Now all eyes are on Flagg’s injury.

If he is not fully fit and ready to go next week (the ACC tournament means nothing), it will open things up in whichever bracket Duke is seeded.

Sounds like Flagg is going to be ok and might even play tomorrow
I'll believe that when I see it -- mostly because I would lie about severity of injury right up until seeding committee releases the bracket.

Not that they would ever drop Duke from that line anyway, but a healthy dose of paranoia keeps them No. 1 regardless.
 
Obviously Flagg injury is massive and Duke has every incentive to say he is fine. Without him, they are probably not getting past the second weekend. But don't underestimate the Brown injury either. He's a key glue guy for them.

Sucks though. Never want injuries to get in the way for anybody.
 
Merely a flesh wound...

Probably would have lost anyway on that buzzer beating 3
Never know. They have to take the ball out instead of rebounding and bringing it right up. Maybe they go for the two to tie. We’ll never know. Hell of a finish and hell of a way to lose.
 
Duke coach Jon Scheyer said it's a "real long shot" that freshman star Cooper Flagg will be able to play in the ACC tournament semifinals because of an ankle sprain.
