Get the best No. 16 Mount St. Mary's vs. No. 1 Duke predictions ahead of Friday's East region March Madness meeting. Free March Madness picks for March 21.
Congrats to Mount St. Mary's for winning their First Four game and getting to play on Friday. However, the step up in opposition cannot be overstated which is why Rohit Ponnaiaya is fading the Mountaineers offense.The No. 16 seed Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers face off against the No. 1 seed Duke Blue Devils in the first round of the NCAA Tournament this afternoon.
While Duke has the depth to rest someone like Flagg without too much of a downgrade, Mount Saint Mary's will really miss its best shooter and sixth man. The Mountaineers are 359th in the country in turnover rate and they won't be able to find open looks against a Duke squad that holds foes to just 43.4% shooting inside the arc — the third-best mark in the country. Given how nagging ankle injuries can be, and the possibility of a blowout, I doubt we'll see a full workload from Flagg. That's why I'm fading him on his points.
