Dick Vitale Gives Honest Opinion on Cooper Flagg Ahead of Duke’s Sweet 16 Matchup

As the NCAA Tournament heads into the Sweet 16, ESPN’s Dick Vitale is putting his trust in Duke—and especially in freshman sensation Cooper Flagg.

During an appearance Tuesday on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Vitale spoke confidently about his Final Four picks, which still remain intact. But of all the teams in the field, it’s Duke that he believes has the strongest combination of talent and balance. The veteran broadcaster pointed to the Blue Devils’ rare status as a top-five team in both offensive and defensive efficiency.

When you’re stellar in both those areas, you’ve got a chance to win,” Vitale said.

Vitale also made his opinion on Cooper Flagg clear, calling him the most impactful player left in the tournament.

 

“They’ve got the best player in the land, and no doubt about it,” Vitale said. “His presence makes everybody better.”
