Michigan State upsets top-seeded Duke to reach Final Four for the first time since 2015
CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREWASHINGTON -- The ball almost seemed to hang in the air Sunday evening at Capital One Arena, as Kenny Goins held a pose and watched it fall. The Michigan State bench was frozen. The Spartans fans behind them were silent.The sure-handed senior put Michigan State ahead in the final minute, and a missed free throw by R.J. Barrett with 5.2 seconds left on the clock helped seal the deal.
The first three Elite Eight games were spectacular -- including a pair of overtime games -- but this one always seemed destined to be the best of the bunch. This, after all, was Duke and Michigan State, Mike Krzyzewski and Tom Izzo -- a pair of legendary coaches and legendary programs with a combined 19 Final Four appearances and seven national titles between them.
All the while, the specter of foul trouble hung over Williamson, who was forced to briefly ride the bench after picking up his second foul with 4:52 left in the half.
