It took four minutes for No. 1 Duke to take control of Saturday's game against Michigan State. From there, the Blue Devils cruised to an 81-61 victory over the Spartans, giving Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski a chance at winning his fifth national title. Freshmen big men Justise Winslow and Jahlil Okafor tallied 19 points and nine rebounds and 18 points and six rebounds, respectively, and senior Quinn Cook added 17 points.
"I don't think we started the game out with the intensity we needed," Cook said, via ESPN. "When we got down early, Coach got on us, and the last 36 minutes we played one of our better games. It's definitely hard out there, but we just strung some stops together and great defense led to great offense."
No. 1 Wisconsin came out on top in a close back-and-forth game against Kentucky. Unlike in last season's semifinal against Kentucky, no game-winning three-pointer from Wildcats guard Aaron Harrison sent Wisconsin packing this time, with the Badgers pulling away late in the second half for a 71-64 win. Badgers center Frank Kaminsky led with 20 points and 11 rebounds, and teammate Sam Dekker added 16 points to help end Kentucky's undefeated season.
"I think you guys have seen that all year," Dekker said. "Whether we're down six or up 20, we're going to be us, and we're going to play our game."
Now the No. 1 Badgers are playing for the title against one of the only three teams to beat them during the season.
"I don't think basketball fans that I know would ever say that Duke didn't have a good team," Badgers coach Bo Ryan told the Associated Press. "A lot of people thought they had a pretty good team because they spanked our team at our place in December," he said. "I can't say that they were ignored, that's for sure."
