Duke didn’t have much issue making it to the Sweet 16.
The No. 1 Blue Devils ended the first half on a 12-0 run on the way to an easy 89-66 win over No. 9 Baylor in the second round of the NCAA tournament on Sunday.
Baylor cut Duke’s lead to 35-30 with 3:07 to go on a 3-pointer from Jalen Celestine. After that, Duke made sure to make the Bears believe they didn’t have much of a shot the rest of the way.
Potential No. 1 overall NBA Draft pick Cooper Flagg had eight of Duke’s 12 points to close the half including this alley-oop with less than a minute to go.
