Duke Blue Devils, a preseason title favorite, slipped down to a No. 4 seed after a frustratingly poor end to the regular season and ACC postseason. Duke got knocked out by North Carolina in the conference quarterfinals, but the Blue Devils have bounced back to obliterate bracket favourite James Madison in the second round before surviving No. 1 Houston 54-51 in the Sweet 16.

The Wolfpack, meanwhile, have extended their magical run, going on to record eight straight in the win column, including five wins in five days to lift the ACC Tournament despite being heavy underdogs.

They have been underdogs twice already in the Big Dance as well, recording a 67-58 win over No. 2 seed Marquette in the Sweet 16.

Winners go to the Final Four. The loser heads home to North Carolina to figure out what went wrong.

Sophomore centre Kyle Filipowski had 16 points and nine rebounds in the same game and leads the Blue Devils with 16.6 PPG and 8.2 RPG, while Freshman guard Jared McCain has come up with several clutch performances in the NCAA Tournament, notably netting 30 points in a win over James Madison in the second round.
