Duke freshman star Cooper Flagg said he’ll be ready to play in Friday's NCAA Tournament opener against Mount St. Mary’s as he recovers from a sprained ankle. Flagg missed the last two games in top-seeded Duke's run to the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament title. The unanimous Associated Press first-team All-American went through the team's home-state public practice Thursday in Raleigh, North Carolina. Friday's East Region schedule also includes Mississippi State against Baylor in Raleigh. In Cleveland, second-seeded Alabama faces Robert Morris, while Saint Mary's faces Vanderbilt. And in Seattle, Arizona meets Akron while Oregon faces Liberty.
