Caleb Love and Henri Veesaar embrace one last time after the press conference following Arizona’s loss to Duke in the Sweet 16 on March 27 in Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Both players combined for 48 of Arizona’s 93 points.

Arizona’s highly anticipated Sweet Sixteen matchup against Duke was a tale that was crafted as a storybook ending to Caleb Love’s college career, but Cooper Flagg decided to play devils advocate. Caleb Love may have finished the game one point short of his career high with 35 points and zero turnovers, but the freshman Blue Devil dropped a team high 30 points, team high 7 assists, team high 6 rebounds, and team high 3 blocks to push Duke into an Elite 8 date with the Crimson Tide. With 5 star recruit Koa Peat announcing his commitment to Arizona the same day Love hangs up the red and blue, Arizona seems to be starting a new chapter before the ink has dried on the finale.
