2025-26 March Madness Betting Report: Florida Loss Revives Weekend for Books
Caleb Foster - May be available for Sweet Sixteen Foster (foot) may be available for the 2026 NCAA tournament's Sweet Sixteen, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Back in early-March, Foster suffered a knee injury, and subsequent imaging of the problem resulted in his unfortunate diagnosis that he would be out indefinitely, with the earliest he would be available being in the Final Four. Fast-forward just under two weeks later, and there is an "outside chance" that the Sweet Sixteen includes his services. Duke edged Siena and dominated TCU to qualify for the Sweet Sixteen, where the Blue Devils will compete against St. John's next Friday. Though his services may not be needed, they would provide proven depth for a Duke rotation that has been relying heavily on its seven other mainstays. Foster started all but one of his 31 games for this season's Blue Devils.

Top 10 North American Sports Rivalries: From USA vs. Mexico to Ohio State vs. Michigan
Cayden Boozer - Embracing starting role Boozer finished Saturday's 81-58 win over TCU with nine points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 37 minutes.
Impact Boozer was instantly handed the torch for a starting spot after Caleb Foster went down with a foot injury that is considered likely to be season-ending. The freshman has made four consecutive starts since, scoring nine or more points each time while averaging 13.8 ppg, 3.4 rpg and 3.2 apg. The lesser-known Boozer twin will continue to see extended run for as long as Duke stays alive in the Big Dance.
MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE
Isaiah Evans - Picking up offensively Evans ended with 17 points (6-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Saturday's 81-58 win over TCU.
Impact Coming off a double-double in the NCAA Tournament opening round against Sienna, Evans put forth another strong effort as the team's second-leading scorer, and most importantly, helping the Blue Devils advance to the Sweet Sixteen. In an odd stat, Evans has now been exactly 6-for-14 from the field in three consecutive games. The role is consistent, if nothing else, but he'll need to continue to carry a backcourt sans Caleb Foster (foot) if Duke hopes to make a Final Four run.
MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE
Maliq Brown - Quality fill-in option Brown contributed 12 points (4-5 FG, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block over 26 minutes during Saturday's 81-58 victory over TCU.
Impact Brown has now started six in a row for the Blue Devils while center Patrick Ngongba was sidelined by a foot injury. The senior put up 7.2 points and 7.8 rebounds over that stretch, which may soon be coming to an end given the Ngongba made his return Saturday off the bench. It remains to be seen who gets the call in Duke's TBD Sweet Sixteen matchup, but Brown's run of increased productivity likely stands to level back out.
MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE
Dame Sarr - Gets hot for Duke Sarr accumulated 14 points (4-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 28 minutes during Saturday's 81-58 win over TCU.
Impact Duke has needed various guards to step up in the absence of Caleb Foster, and it turned out to be Sarr in Saturday's Round of 32 matchup. The freshman knocked down a season-best four three-pointers en route to his third-best scoring total of the season, while also contributing in essentially every other category. Sarr was not consistent enough to stay on the fantasy radar earlier this year, but he could be raising his stock at the exact opportune time.

Patrick Ngongba II - Well-rounded effort in return Ngongba (foot) closed with four points (2-2 FG), four rebounds, four assists and one block in 13 minutes during Saturday's 81-58 victory over TCU.
Impact Ngongba was questionable for the Blue Devils after missing five straight games, but he returned to action against TCU in the Round of 32 and was active all over the court in a limited 13 minutes. Though he came off the bench, he was still impactful with four points, four boards and four assists. He'll now have a few days to rest up before Duke plays in the Sweet 16 next weekend.
MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE
Cameron Boozer - Records another double-double Boozer recorded 19 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals across 34 minutes during Saturday's 81-58 win over TCU.
Impact Boozer was sharp as an offensive threat and posted his second double-double in two NCAA Tournament appearances. The star forward will continue to have a big role for Duke throughout the tournament, and the Blue Devils' title chances will rest on Boozer's availability to dominate against tougher opponents.
MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE
Patrick Ngongba II - Expected to play vs. TCU Ngongba (foot) is expected to play against TCU in the Round of 32, per Tracy Wolfson of CBS Sports.
Impact Ngongba reportedly arrived to the arena on a scooter Saturday, but he still looked good in practice and is expected to be available for the Blue Devils. He notably isn't a part of Duke's starting lineup against the Horner Frogs, but there's still a chance he could come off the bench and provide crucial minutes up front. Ngongba averages 10.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 blocks this season.
