The NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament national semifinal contests took place on Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
In the opener, Justise Winslow scored 19 points while Jahlil Okafor added 18 and Quinn Cook 17 as the Duke Blue Devils (34-4) recovered from a slow start and dominated the Michigan State Spartans (27-12) 81-61 to advance to Monday's national championship as they are gunning for a fifth national title under head coach Mike Krzyzewski. Denzel Valentine scored 22 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for the Spartans.
In the nightcap, Frank Kaminsky scored 20 points (on 7-of-11 shooting) and grabbed 11 rebounds as the Wisconsin Badgers (36-3) came from behind and knocked out the previously-unbeaten Kentucky Wildcats (38-1) 71-64 (avenging their defeat at the same round last year) to reach the title game for the first time since 1941, when they won their only national championship.
