Despite playing in the shadow of likely No. 1 overall NBA draft pick Cooper Flagg, Knueppel is emerging as one of the best players in the sport, helping to lead Duke on a deep tournament run.

Want to buy tickets to Duke basketball’s NCAA Tournament 2025 game in the Elite Eight? Here’s how, including prices for March Madness.

Flagg has 30 points, six rebounds and seven assists and the top-seeded Blue Devils hold off an onslaught from Wildcats star Caleb Love (35 points) in a 100-93 win to reach the East Regional final.

Caleb Love once put away Duke at the Final Four — and ended coach Mike Krzyzewski's career. Three years later and two rounds earlier, Cooper Flagg and the Blue Devils stuck it to Love in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament and spoiled his college finale.

Thursday night in the Sweet 16 will be the 10th time Caleb Love has faced Duke with seven of those appearances as a member of North Carolina.
