Duke Goes To The Sweet 16

Duke squeaks past Michigan 73 to 71 to make it to the Sweet 16. Nolan Smith led the Blue Devils in scoring with 24 points. I thought Duke was in control most of the game, they didn't have a large lead, but seemed to be in control.

All that changed in the last two minutes and I thought it was a good possibility The Blue Devils were going to lose the game. I don't know what happened to change things around, but thank goodness Duke ended up on top, it could have gone either way.

Duke had a huge advantage in rebounding 31 to 18 and that was probably why Duke looked in control so much of the game. The blue devils shot 51% to 50% for Michigan. Duke will play next Thursday, 3-24-11 against Arizona at 9:45 p.m. ET.

Sweet Sweet Sweet 16 Go Duke!!
