Michigan State (#5 seed) knocked off Tennessee (#6 seed) 70-69 in the 1st game of the day on Sunday. Although Durrell Summers led the team with 21 points, it was Raymar Morgan’s free throw with 2 seconds left in the game that put the Spartans ahead for good. Head Coach Tom Izzo is now headed to his 6th Final Four in 12 years, including back-to-back Final Fours.
Duke (#1 seed) was the final team to qualify for the Final Four with a come-from-behind 78-71 win over Baylor (#3 seed). Duke was the only #1 seed to reach the Final Four this year. Nolan Smith (29 points) and John Scheyer (20 points) paced the Blue Devils. Duke also grabbed 22 offensive rebounds in the game.
