Podcast #711: Duke Deals With Arizona - Now On To Alabama In The 2025 Elite Eight

We’re still excited about the Sweet win over Arizona, but another big test in the Tide awaits.

The Duke Blue Devils are in the Elite 8 after beating the Arizona Wildcats in the Sweet 16! We recap the victory and prepare for the Alabama Crimson Tide on Episode 711!

The Arizona game was a tough game, but Duke was able to get through with some key plays on both offense and defense. Donald and Jason take you through it all, highlighting where Duke succeeded and where they could improve. The referees were a big topic of discussion from this game, and we bring in a college referee to help explain why some of the calls were tough ones to make.

We then preview our game against Alabama, which is another difficult team to play. They play faster than everyone in the country, and they’re coming off a game where they hit the most 3s in a game in NCAA Tournament history. We break down where they’re good and where Duke can have an advantage as we get ready for Saturday night.
