With about 6 minutes left, Michigan State tied the game at 65. And I thought to myself, is this going to be where it all ends – are they going to get tight like they did in the ACC.

And it sure looked like it might be that ending. Michigan State continued to push. The Spartans scored the next 5 points to lead 70-65.

But Duke turned it up a notch on both sides of the court. The Blue Devils would go on to outscore Michigan State 20-6 to finish the game. Trevor Keels and Jeremy Roach hit three pointers. Paolo Banchero and Mark Williams blocked tough drives to the basket by the Spartans. Wendell Moore stole the ball at half court leading to two free throws. And Duke made their free throws to finish off Michigan State.

And that win was Coach K’s 1,200th career win and 99th career NCAA Tournament win (both of those totals are the most all-time in college hoops). And for one last time, Coach K will be taking his Blue Devils to the Sweet 16.
