It took overtime to decide which team Florida will face in the Elite Eight, and a late push from Texas Tech has the Gators matched up with the Raiders

Ever since Cooper Flagg scored 42 points against Notre Dame in January, setting an ACC record and cementing his Player of the Year candidacy, it has been difficult to be truly surprised by anything from the freshman phenom.

Cooper Flagg had 30 points, seven assists and six rebounds as the Duke Blue Devils held off Arizona and marched on to the Elite Eight.

Thursday was Flagg's true breakout of the postseason: 30 points on 9-of-19 shooting, seven assists, six rebounds, three blocks and a steal.

Despite 17 turnovers, Florida dominated Maryland on the glass with a 42-20 rebounding advantage to advance to its first Elite Eight in eight years.

Will Richard led a balanced offensive attack for UF with 15 points, one of six players in double figures. Alijah Martin added 14 points and six rebounds, while Thomas Haugh had 13 points and nine rebounds and Denzel Aberdeen scored 12 points.. Overall, UF outscored Maryland 29-3 in bench points,

A dominant performance on the boards (plus-22) and a balanced scoring attack (six players in double figures) helped No. 1 seed Florida top Maryland 87-71 on Thursday night in the Chase Center, sending the Gators to the Elite Eight.
