Can No. 1 overall seed Duke move past No. 9 seed TCU without Caleb Foster and Patrick Ngongba II available on Saturday? That is a big question as the East Region second-round game takes place at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina.
The Blue Devils are going to have to lean on freshman forward Cameron Boozer a lot, too.

Duke fans know that Foster, a junior guard, fractured his right foot and underwent surgery. He will not be able to play. Ngongba, a sophomore center who has been dealing with a foot injury, has been listed as questionable by Duke head coach Jon Scheyer.
Scheyer told reporters Friday that he was hopeful Ngongba could return Saturday.
In Duke’s 71-65 first-round victory over Siena, Cameron Boozer scored 22 points, but his twin brother, Cayden, also scored 19 points against the Saints. Isaiah Evans added 16 points for the Blue Devils. Duke comes into Saturday’s game with a 33-2 overall record, while the Horned Frogs are 23-11.
Forward Xavier Edmonds’ layup with 4.3 seconds left in the game helped TCU oust the No. 8 seed Ohio State Buckeyes 66-64 in a first-round game. Micah Robinson led the Horned Frogs with 18 points, while David Punch had 13 rebounds and Edmonds dished out 3 assists.
Whoever wins this East Region second-round contest advances in the NCAA Men’s Tournament. While Scheyer is the Blue Devils’ head coach, Jamie Dixon is TCU’s head coach.
The Horned Frogs took the Buckeyes all the way down to the final seconds to secure a victory. They might look to do the same thing against Duke on Saturday.
Should TCU, 23-11 overall, get the job done, it would be just another amazing story in the annals of March Madness.
