Horne led State with 19 points while Mohamed Diarra provided a double-double with 11 points and 15 rebounds.
Duke (27-8) survived a tough, low-scoring battle against No. 1 Houston on Friday, advancing to the Elite Eight with a 54-51 victory. Both teams shot just 40.8% from the field in this showdown and it was the Blue Devils that managed to gut it out despite being held scoreless in the final 1:16 of action. Kyle Filipowski put up 16 points and nine rebounds in the win.
