Duke Form
Outgoing head coach Mike Krzyzewski is on the brink of leading Duke to the National Championship game.
Krzyzewski is stepping down after the tournament and he has guided the Blue Devils to the Final Four at March Madness.
They came into this tournament on the back of a disappointing 82-67 defeat to Virginia Tech in the ACC conference tourney.
Duke bounced back in strong fashion as they rolled over Cal State Fullerton, 78-61, in the first round of March Madness.
They followed that up with an 85-76 win over Michigan State before battling past #12 Texas Tech, 78-73.
The Blue Devils then sealed a place in the Final Four as they produced a dominant first-half display and then fended off #17 Arkansas after the break to win 78-69.
Paolo Banchero registered 16 points and seven assists in the win, while AJ Griffin had 18 points and Mark Williams recorded 12 points and 12 rebounds in a double double.

They rebounded from that by demolishing Marquette, 95-63, in the first round of March Madness, and built on that with a big upset.
