Duke is favored, with uncertainty over center Patrick Ngongba’s foot limiting the rotation.

Overview

  • Tipoff is 5:15 p.m. ET at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, S.C., with national TV coverage on CBS.

  • Duke advanced after a 71–65 escape against Siena, while TCU moved on with a 66–64 win over Ohio State on a late Xavier Edmonds bucket.
