A back-and-forth Sweet 16 affair with St. John’s ended in an 80-75 Duke victory, boosted by 20-point efforts from Cameron Boozer and Isaiah Evans. Now, the Blue Devils will advance to their second straight Elite Eight under head coach Jon Scheyer. A win on Saturday would mark the program’s 19th trip to the Final Four, second-most among all Division I programs.
UConn nearly blew a massive early lead, holding on to take down Michigan State in the Sweet 16 by a score of 67-63. It’s the third time in four seasons that Dan Hurley’s crew have reached the Elite Eight. The Huskies are hoping to win their seventh national championship and third in the last four years.
