Coach K cuts down the net once again.
had just knocked out the top overall seed, Gonzaga. As good as the Razorbacks' defense is with its lateral quickness, Duke rose to the occasion with better offense from its more gifted 1-on-1 players. Duke got scoring from just about everybody Saturday night, with nearly six players in double figures led by marksman AJ Griffin's 18 points. The X-Factor was undoubtedly big man Mark Williams, who had 12 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks.
It took a second-half wake-up call after the lead was cut to five points five minutes in."They outplayed us at the start of the second half," Krzyzewski said. "After the timeout, we were a different team."The Wildcats responded in the final five minutes once Houston sliced the deficit to 42-40 off an 11-2 run, and that came with a jumper by fifth-year senior Gillespie, as Villanova escaped with a 50-44 victory by making key plays in crunch time.
This is gutting to watch. Your heart has to break for Justin Moore, who has been so important for this Villanova team this season.
