On Sunday night, No. 1 seed Duke beat No. 2 Gonzaga, 66-52, sending the Blue Devils on to the men's Final Four semifinals in Indianapolis. In their 16th Final Four appearance — the 12th with Coach Mike Krzyzewski — Duke will face Michigan State, which beat Louisville in an exciting overtime upset. The seventh-seeded Spartans topped the fourth-seeded Louisville Cardinals, 76-70. The Gonzaga Zags haven't made it to the Final Four in 17 straight NCAA tournament appearances. With 12 Final Four contests, Duke's Coach K will tie UCLA's John Wooden for most appearances by a head coach.
