full

here Duke controls the lead we're on our way to the southern regional final I'm going to Grand Hill right now another STI let's go a little this Duke team defeated number one seed Houston in the sweet 16 54 to 51 they shot only 41% but Se They have been solid defensively in this tournament thinking that they keep the rebound off the line, they give shots like this, the cockroach opens the scoring from the outside, which will open up their three-point game and they can also receive touches like that one from immediate.

R Philip howski defending DJ Burns on the block picks up fouls like he did in their first matchup in Raleigh marel made the difference in the win over Marquette kicks the burns from the outside, drains him, but the first time if you're watching this young man is a point guard feel great touch around the rim and his passes are beautiful he's a point Big M Point Center yeah we're tied at two nice used to the curl Mitchell wasn't expecting this from McCain he's out of bounds right here you said it best great touch, we see him step back and send people up, but he has a reach of up to 15 feet and right now he is playing with great confidence scoring and passing.

He has a great personality, something that others could match. but he's a nice kid and he loves the game here's Morel's penetration, kick him, they're strawberries back to back and immediately Duke opts to play him one on one, without catching him in a double team that they don't want to give up. above the three I really think CH was thinking 4-2 lobo P filipowski as diar tried to release the fade is short rebounded by diara who has been crying working the glass filipowski in that box lower that dribble and it's going to be very important DJ horn native right they're going to ride great friend Burns loves to back you up loves that right shoulder there you have it and finishes filipowski is there for the rebound good job by filipowski contesting without committing pull up pop cockroach from the heel and OK Connell, who transferred from Stanford, takes the board and they got a good look as Mitchell really ran to the block, a tough shot got him going, God missed him, off balance, Horn scored 19 points in the 6758 win over the number two seed .

Marquette trying to freeze him on the left side, they got the mismatch they want now as a trade McCain had the big game against JMU in the second round filipowski one on one with burds is in the DJ booth filipowski misses a fade the next one doesn't go Mitchell is missing the DJ booth it's a not very strong area there isn't much space in the DJ booth but I think for Filipowski you have to face Burns and you won't be able to back away Take him down and move him if you face him and use your quickness he may You can commit a foul, but right there it marks Mitchell doing what he does and he needs to be a factor in this game, he can impact the victory and be like that. xfactor for Duke's first round win over Vermont 64-47 and then in the second round they dominated 9355 James Madison McCain scored 30 points in that 257th all-time game between these two schools Mitchell had just two points in the win over Houston, we're tied The fourth third game of the season is within an

eight

-game span for Duke NC State has played more games because they advanced in the ACC tournament and won a good run from Filipowski, he can make all three, but they're trying to catch him. to push diara back a little more at a difficult angle for diara because mitchell played a good defensive spin move, shrock is running out and they're going to run out of time.

Diar's jam won't count and he'll rap just a great Duke defensive possession and Mark Mitchell's toughness denying Diara any opportunity denying the wings forcing that shot clock violation look at Duke's underrated defense I mean they've just limited their opponents only 51 points here in the tournament the shooting has been great but the defense has been better, right? finally we have some guys at the end of the floor that play defense hey hey hey hey hey hey let's grow the tape from 1994 yeah he did pretty well there's roach where he's tough he's so good in that lane he missed from the rim Don can pull up can do three diara instead of isolation against Mitchell they work him around the horn two horns have to be honest on the perimeter here morcel the transfer from Virginia Good turn the fade has it he has that beautiful pullup game great footwork also and a 6-4 lead for NC State Duke is one of the five in the field not playing, they are zoning out of Mitchell opens this, CER missed it on the toe spin and ends up on his back, it's a five horn against four.

Attack mode from the back of the rim diara bading almost kicked it he did it he has a soccer background before the game he was playing balls KCK juggling oh Messi would be proud to work him around the perimeter Proctor I think Proor can go if he gets it Back in Diara Mitchell, they leave him alone with space for Mitchell in the whole world and they are going to make that Burns J and Duke relegation zone defense now one of the seven from the field. They follow NC State 64 and change the game. with Mitchell on fire Marcel confidently doesn't go and Philip Kowski the undisputed rebound NY State's first appearance in the Elite Eight since 1986, they lost to Kansas that year 75-67 Mitchell has to make a lot of evaluations, I think they simply placed him in the zone in the back and the cockroach's turnover, break opportunity, porn waiting for his teammates and rap.

Duke likes to switch things up on the perimeter, so you'll have to be able to play one-on-one, which several guys can do at NC State. horn pretty good challenge from Mitchell and to pass he's on a good job twice leaked here McCain who is a safety in transition this kid is dynamite I'm not afraid to forget a layup with disdain villing McDonald's allamerican from Sacramento California always playing with a smile on his face and gives the Blue Devils a one point lead, I think you have to go back to DJ Burns in the post, keep shifting the buck.

Kowski is doing a good job fighting, he just took a little elbow to the chest, he burns asking for it, DJ, he's on. his playlist DJ who can dance I'll tell you there's no Payola involved in that move, how many can we fit into a 5c? That's all. I run my gab 887 NC State giving it that chance, that's why it has a screen like these things. it may happen that McCain gets fouled underneath I have to make him pay for that zone free throws for Jared McCain when we get back NC State facing Duke it's all ACC with a trip to the final four in St back in 1983 six seed NC State moved on to the number one seed Houston in one of the most memorable National Championship games in NCA tournament history as we look and listen in our more needed presented by the power up to S seconds you can see Whittenberg's time oh , that's a long way in which they won it. the indelible image of Jim Valano running after winning the championship Gary Bender and Billy Packer in the call Lorenzo Charles the miraculous hit of the Wittenberg Miss time expired that was the last time NC State reached a final four and some similarities between 83 and 24 Right now, for this show, it sure feels like a miracle run for Kevin Keats and this group that's here and they're fighting to get into the tournament, they're just gaining confidence as they go, so you know, 83 was before of my time, r i i, but me.

I remember seeing it but it came to this day, he says it was a pass, he says he does it, he totally committed to it, when, when did he pass it? I mean, uh, I love you, Derek, but think about it, Jimmy, such a big influence in the ACC, him and Mike became great friends and Dean Smith too and just established friendships, a very harmonious group of talented coaches and what? how not to love that unique group with Wittenberg and Cydney Low Terry Ganon theate Lorenzo Charles through Bailey and Coel McQueen they go on and on feeding the Brooks, the back half, he's now at NC State and Ryan Young fouled him, so that both teams went to their bench for the Bigs and were involved in that action.

Watch the men's final four on your computer, phone, tablet or streaming device with NCA March Madness live. Download now to stay on top of all the action and rap Ben Middlebrooks is coming to put a spell on you, meet DJ Burns, but he's actually played pretty well, he had a career-high 21 points against the Texas deck in the first round , brings some mobility, strength, toughness. defensively so it's good when your backup can come in and maybe you can even improve as a team and the bird also opens things up because he'll play high on ball screens, guys can dribble.

Drive, get into the lane, his uncle is here Danny. Canel, who is a colleague of ours at CBS Sports, a former professional quarterback and there is no denying that she is his uncle. He made sure of it on his shirt. We don't even need the Chiron. Would you say Chinese or not? Do you like it? I have a t-shirt that says Bill Raptor is laughing, you know? I hope a thousand people have those same shirts. We're tied at nine. A different appearance. Double publication. Let's see if they get a little high. territory, him going to the line looks a little different now with the two bigs on the court, both bigs that can go out and compete and defend on the perimeter and I love the effort right there from Mohamed Guaro to get out of the competition, already You know, Jared McCain leads the team in three-pointers made, but you have to be smarter there and not foul the three-point shooter, so three free throws for McCain take a deep breath and close his eyes before the substitution free throws for NC State Jaden Taylor, their talented combo guard.

The bench is for the first time, does your bird have nail polish or not? I didn't get an endorsement deal, he did and McCain is shooting 87% down the line and now Burns will sign on instead of Muhammad, just something to keep in the back of your mind regarding say he's observing Ramadan, for So there will be no food or drink from dawn to dusk and the way the schedule works today, you won't be within the window where you can eat a banana in the second half or you were drinking packets of applesauce in the last game of this game, unless we have overtime opponent basketball, double overtime will end before sundown and that might be why Kevin Keats just replaced him right now with a lineup of Ben Middlebrooks and DJ Burns playing together, which you don't see often with NC State, but I think also because Duke has the big two that could be possible as well.

John Stewart is a freshman at Duke. Good pass to go with a strong bullet feed inside the middle. Brooks pivots well. Young's defense says straight up, Duke, this is how tough they are in that open court, but he's likely to miss two layups in transition on The Rim. Proor has failed, give up and shoot, but rainbow three doesn't try to dig. he comes out and makes the buzzer go off the rim, no and bounced by proor and a bird that's big on both sides, those three long carobs, you have to make them up. NC State is 0 for four from three point territory, they were six for 12. in win over Marquette, Proor's hard attempt is cut and travels, third turnover for Duke Blue Devils up by three on NC State here in the first half, the coach, as we mentioned before, Burns had an impact from the beginning here, how do you have to adapt?

It's what he does. You know, we don't allow three-pointers. We thought Flip did a good job. Get him to score over the top, but it's a long game, we just have to stay disciplined and then we can't turn the ball over, thank you. You're good, thanks, good Tracy and the defensive numbers, there is no one on the field that gives up fewer points than the Duke Blue Devils. 51 points per game allowed. The opponent's field goal percentage is 39% and they increase their steals here during the dance. you're playing defense like your dad's favorite du team, chasing that, which was Jim Sparkles, nice slip, it's Stewart with the denial, what a good addition, he played well against State McCain, back for roach filipowski, he's on return, they spread it here with 1120 to go in the first half Duke up by three both teams have missed seven of their last

eight

shots they are going to use a Philips screen because it is a fallen defense they will have an open look if they want to pick it up because they missed a short rebound by oconnell, they go into early burn offense, look at that drop step Baseline Burns looks to score and does DJ magic with Nimble feet.

I'll tell you what's on Nimble's feet, but from time to time you need a taxi to take him to the other end, he really has difficulties from time to time, you have to run with him, speaking of difficulties, Duke at this time failed eight of his last nine shots. Credit to this EV defense, there is no type of St, zigzag and one-handed running do not go. for roach and it's down roach takesget up may have taken a shot in the face five on four right now for NC State and a foul called against Proctor Burds did a good job, he's a good kid who just gave Roach a pat on the back. simply Charming everything he does with drop step style throws away that little bit that is left and that was the slap in the face Dr.

Pacho to take care of him mamed diara is in oh the drop step Burns can't get him to go out of the limits of the The herd of wolves fuel up with this delivery-only offer from Wendy's and Coca-Cola Zero Sugar order now in the Wendy's app and get a $0 delivery fee. 121 Duke in front of Roach is now on the bench, so Proctor takes care of it McCain off the ball and Jaylen Blakes is in. for the first time, M hooks three nice pins down, arranges those puppies beauti

full

y, and has some RS. He has 11 of the 15 points from him.

We have passed the halfway point of this first half. There is that automatic transmission that you talked about in third place. floated up and rebounded by Philip Housey, foul, cheap foul, too, it doesn't need to have been a frustration foul for missing that layup, great play, although a great set that got it moving and Jerry McCain coming off that pin, which is the next level, right there. a freshman able to knock down those three while DJ Burns picks up his second foul right there and gets caught, has a roach early in the game and a little punch to the face from Filipowski right there if he doesn't tag McCain in that little pin under the. he organizes it 3/4 of the body before placing the shoulder, quick release, great balance, so he burns on the bench with two faults.

He shoots McCain with a p on a step, it comes in, I can't finish the rebound and a foul when Diara gathered, he was hacked. Blakes put his hand in there, that's the third one right on The Rim. I like that he failed. I like that McCain, although he didn't settle, got the biggest diara on you, attacks him from the drive he just couldn't finish and you said it three layup opportunities for Duke's guards by not being able to convert, so the foul called on Jaylen Blakes Duke leads NC State by four shooting at 46% in that win over Marquette They really flummoxed the Golden Eagles with their defense.

Horn looks to run the ball screen to get the buzzer moving a little. Diara steps back for horn 12 to shoot. Good defense. Well, yes, sir, the window from that angle, wow, big time, KZ doesn't want to. to watch, I guess give him the gas face 1514 Duke, you don't want that guy to get going if you're Duke prolific on the offensive end and that was a three ball for DJ horn filipowski, the body throws him and he gets angry, He is a right-handed player who loves to finish in the paint with his left showing his versatility there, going one-on-one and the first two of the night for Kyle Filipowski and this is the open middle with the good playing field that they called fou at the end It's really a good set that stretches the Duke defense and that will be the second foul on Tyrese Proctor, the Australian, so the cockroaches return to Proctor. 831 to play in this first half. 1714 Duke BL got a good slip and they got to Grab It, I think he has Blak's number two so Blakes is in front.

He's been a little more active here trying to get involved and insert himself into the offense and rapping. You see, Philip Palsky, they're going to go out and get Horn whenever they want. You're smart with the screen roll action to try to break that up, throw another foul to Blaz Horn grew up, an NC State fan, Brooks missed it and he's going to kick it hard, rebounds he came up with and Blakes D rebounded it . Keat said it, but ARA simply settled for three-pointers as long as he advanced his dribbling game and is also an exquisite rebounder.

John Shy has been really impressed with NC State's defense and the disruption they had with one-handed running. cockroach on the grip also did a good job protecting Okon from CH asked about playing with them once again said look, they are better defensively than the last time we saw them, they are better at rebounding than the last time we saw them, they are more connected offensively , Diara Phills can't finish Kapowski flies to the board and a great competition from Mitchell without committing a foul as Diara tries to attempt that layup. Yeah, this is the biggest lead for Duke five off Philip Housei Mitchell back on a nice little catch. the big man Mitchell on the left goes what a great set through a lot of things a flare a diagonal screen and the extra pass Duke is humming right now he's efficient on the offensive end together on the defensive end good diving and timing it's a great time to finish the Prevail bat tournament summary Zach 0 leading Purdue to its first final four under coach Matt Painer the first since 1980 huge numbers Alabama rallies from a 13-point deficit to advance to the final four Yukon one of the most dominant players ever You'll see what they did to Illinois in the second half, including a 30-to-nothing run.

Putting the first and second half together, incredible 214 Duke leading right now North ATA State, we have to find some offense here that burns out of the game and porn doesn't really get in the flow, good play with that, what such a fantastic move came up empty the buzzer call and it's out of bounds the wolf's last touch

duke

will have the chance to increase the lead when we get back coach

duke

made a little run there you called a time out what was the message you wanted to convey well, we got a shot that we missed like four or five baskets four or five baskets right around the rim and we're getting what we want, we're getting everything offensively it's a great defensive game for both guys, but we're not finishing, I appreciate that, thank you, okay, thanks Tracy Kevin Keats, tremendous story, he said, I want to be an inspiration, he coached at the Military Academy Preparatory School, a head coach there.

He said I drove the bus, pumped gas, washed the uniforms, swept the floor, everything helped me prepare for this sounds like my career driving the bus, anyway you're still doing it but of course come back with the play here, it fades away. McCain comes up short and the last one in Louisville, Rick Patino associate head coach, here is a little wasteful and they can't get to the rib and finish Filaski with the draw originally from Lynchburg Virginia played point guard and quarterback at Heritage High School. at faram university i played four years of basketball there we mentioned the prep career as a head coach, he was the head coach at UNC Wilmington, he had a lot of success as an assistant at Louisville Marshall in southwestern Michigan, he did well porn with a floater and a simple line of The limits play, but look, Duke has had control of this team at North Kina State, they can really get hot right now.

Duke has to really fight and the war is huge. John will be mad because he said they gave up a lot of points against this team on the baseline. of the limits once again McCain pretends the empty side, they got the change they wanted now here is the cockroach squeeze from two turns and fight for two forces that can C it 2316 Duke, we are less than 6 minutes from the end of this first half and where do you get to? his offensive guard oriented no burns on the floor screen middle Brooks horn a double team and a nice little rotation in the back Mitchell really playing inside the defense well gel on a fade in and out bounced by Mitchell trying to extend the lead currently 2316 Duke filipowski Drive, quit, Blakes backed up, had a good shot, passed it, it's a perimeter game right now, original Blakes, not the offensive threats of the other three, McCain, a deep one and Morcel steps in for the rebound. 5 minutes left in the first half, double drag. there, Mitchell Middle Brooks denies him so well and they keep him alive 15 to shoot diara inside the yard, he's offside right now, just offside offensively.

NC State, they rely on DJ Burns so much, they can't get any flow or rhythm on it. side of the ball, his feel for the game obviously, like fingerprints on this team, they're down to 28% shooting and there's no real point guard, nice little grab, oh Filipowski blocked it up the middle. Brooks Oconnell break chance right up the middle for the tough D boy. Kid took advantage of Roose's putback and a timeout called by John Shy and Duke, some signs of life for NC State creating in transition after the D and this little run due to a terrible defensive breakdown and taking a CLE at Stanford, a move smart up to 10 live next sunday cbs presents the CMT Music Awards with performances from Jelly Roll Keith Urban Kelsey ballerini Laney Wilson Old Dominion and more, CMT Music Awards live next Sunday on CV yes, our game recap, numbers of shooting, neither team shooting Lights Out by any stretch Duke has I got the free throw line seven of seven on the strike and Bird just now went over on the bench with a foul, but you have Ryan, young Mitchel and Blakes , none of them are shooters for Duke's guard or right, they run that little flex set.

Hits on the baseline and why. no go Roach Deep kick to McCain short bounced it oconnell closed late too much oconnell to get up that's not going well diara hustle diara follow up keep it alive porn fleet lost it out the window battle for it controlled by Young gotta see the other's quick hit side if he got caught I really can't lose that to be free he will drive it has the mismatch with the center switch of Brooks McCain drives and a call was made goes to the free throw line diara was the last line of defense following him but he could have used that left hand on The Rim too I agree, but I like it I like it when the guards don't calm down when the big guys are defending the attack the big guys put pressure on McCain initiating that contact causing that foul once again another foul for diara two now he and burns both in foul trouble diar's reaction do you think it was in french or english i think it's the universal language he disagreed with McCain was calm in the win over Houston just seven points but he's been the main source of scoring here for Duke as Deara will sit replaced by Burns.

Opportunity here, he had to be smart with his approach on both ends of the court. He has a tendency to use that forearm on both ends and can sometimes be called for an offensive foul by backing people up. Yes, and the free throw numbers are a big difference. Duke is nine out of nine. NC State is one of the two that has to get touches. If Burns is on the court, take advantage of his presence. Eight points for Burns. With no assists, he looked to pass it in the last. round against Marquette, well Duke is playing with him, bird, it bounces in his direction, look at that and the Block Horn couldn't finish, they collapsed on the horn.

McCain gets the pass, shoots it and dies at the rim. 25 18 Duke, 3 minutes left. first half NC State shot 54% % in the first half against Marquette they are at 28% tonight against Duke morcel the jab and the jumper goes rebound KN out Blakes hits the ground and there is a scrum that's why Blakes is in the game goes well, both teams stand up understanding what is at stake and the reminder of the tie is approaching AT&T in the half Ernie Johnson Clark Kell jri Kenny Smith Charles Barkley will analyze the first half and show you how Purdue advanced to the finals to AT&T comes close on the half possession mistake so NC State also got some good minutes off the bench and Sean Stewart in the game and Duke's win against State, he really struggled there against DJ Burns, he had his best game of the season. this T, they worked hard on that great effort, played well when it came out of bounds before Stewart, so it's back to filipowski.

He's what they worked on yesterday. They want to face this pass to allow you to throw and catch it farther. on the court and watch Burns get on the three-point line, but Stewart's big effort just managed to work as much as you can against Burns and that big body, look at that route blocking switch, he couldn't catch it. out of bounds and Blakes was the reason they had a great set, you got your two toughest and most physical defenders in a two man game Blakes and Sean Stewart Jaden Taylor returns, replaces Horn, these two teams met on March 4.

He beat Duke. NC State 79-64 roach had 21 points and then they played again in the ACCC tournament on March 14 and it's a 7469 win for NC State where Horn goes for 18 points, part of their magical run to make the tournament NCA burn down the roach defense, good defense there. rebounded by Taylor an explosion on the court we are approaching two minutes to go in this first half Taylor is a good guy okono the pull up without a rebound Hit in the air good hustle here Stewart first the Duke slows him down game announced by John shy in his second year as head coach at Duke, part of Duke's last two national titles, first as a player and then as an assistant coach.

What it up SC, the catch, wow, the hesitation towards B, it's a great move with the projection because of the zone up by Burns, how was the reaction? I have neverseen a double pump right there, even North Carolina State has missed eight of its last nine shots, the lead has ballooned to nine for Duke bfing. Taylor is fouled and takes advantage of the opportunity. on a three point play for junior Jaden Taylor, he's a tough kid, usually one of the three downed, how's that right there? I mean good defense getting there by Jaylen Blakes, bailing him out right there, but you said that, but that's it.

It's hard for him to score, he's been in and out at times for NC State and he's one of those guys on the perimeter that can go get a bucket and make a play. Third foul on Blakes Taylor, Butler transfers and makes it a six-point game. with a minute 19 left in this first half by the big Z, he has done a good job keeping the guards off the line, one by one, Taylor was able to do it that time McCain was defended by Taylor using his long roach in front, We're going to have one minute left to play in this first half, good move, it's late here, the cockroach is going to call for a foul. the cockroach has been using that arm in other units this time they catch it and R looked outside the source right there, they didn't.

Don't get into anything, short clock there and using that free arm to try to get the advantage, oh wait a second, I'm telling you, they may have called Filipowski, who wasn't really involved in the play, well, no. It was a foul by Roos. We looked at it so you might be right, oh he's fighting there with Middle Brooks, oh he's holding, oh yeah there's the call, good call, BD, good call, so that's Philip's number two psky who will send Young to The Bigs game right now. for both teams they burn and call two Filipowski fouls now the S both coaches just want to get out of this half and get to the second half not in foul trouble that wasn't really good it wasn't a big brilliant foul that part of the rim not even a post up we have 50 seconds left to play the first half here in Dallas Burns missed and Young rebounded a good shot from McCain which kept him alive there and for YoungYou want Burns to fade you can deal with that and obviously a good result for the Wolfpack shooting at 27% from the field, it's nine of 33 Lakes defended by the buzzer and this small lineup for North Carol State causes problems for Duke's offense. but you read that little pin from M.

It's well out of control, the ball goes out of bounds. Duke takes a break because it looked like it was going the other direction and only 4.1 on the shot clock and this four guard lineup can't do it defensively. get into anything, the physicality is so disruptive that the active hands almost lost the ball there and H he says he is one of the best at scoring turnovers in transition that Gap D was great by Okado mcain scored 13, the rest of the DU team put up 14 I wouldn't let the guards get the ball here, take it in young 3 seconds, two sets, but K shoots and the baker doesn't bounce, he doesn't have to go up with it, he could have kept it and Blakes missed it. on the inside chance here for NC State 5 seconds on the clock oconnell changing gears aces the ball out of bounds was stripped and the last touch of the wolf pack McCain hard as Nails gets a good look at him move those puppies and get those hands in there he gets that turnover too, a good handball, the question is did the ball come off Oconnell, the refs called, I can't look at it from that angle, it looked like it should be Inc State's ball shooter on Roach and that's how half will be done.

In them they showed the

replay

on the big screen, so as you can imagine, NC State fans saw that he had thought he didn't touch him, that it was McCain who slapped him, but it hit him in the elbow, good call, and then he was out. out of bounds, I might even hit his foot or lower leg, so both clubs had to ask the shooting coach to speak at halftime. Well, let's leave it to Tracy's coach, how would you evaluate the last few minutes here as you head to the locker room? It's completely disjointed and you know, look at both sides, I mean, it's a little bit of a slug, the best thing is what's been good is our defense, we just have to be a lot better on offense, I appreciate that, thank you, Thanks, okay, Tracy, end of first one. half here in Dallas one spot left for the final four that will go to halftime Phoenix NC State or Duke 27-21 the Blue Devils in front will send 18t in the half after these messages right now let's take a look at our first half from Home Depot statistics Duke conf front 27-21 neither team shot well only one three-pointer made for NC State Duke only had two, but the Blue Devils have made their free throws, turnovers have been limited ion Eagle Grant Hill Bill rafter Tracy wolson is a plus for Duke but it almost feels like a win for NC State in many ways only to be down by six, only 25 miles separate the two areas between Durham and Raleigh so you know in the Triangle this game means a lot, there is a lot at stake for these. two schools well in the conference the opponent generates familiarity both teams understand each other they know the sets but they are competing in defense very well in attack only outside the source they have to calm down they have to make good shots and just play Relax DJ Burns is their spiritual leader is Easter Sunday slide he's the head, I mean he's the key guy, he's got those two fouls on the court, he runs through it, they come back to this, they get more from Tracy, well I talked to Kevin Keats coming out and he said that both teams felt they came out a little tight he said we looked good the shots just weren't falling but he said the difference has definitely been the free throw sending his message to his team just calm down continue playing defense and make some shots yeah certainly Tre when Keats was asked what sparked this streak said the guys trust each other, they're playing for each other, they've gotten better defensively, they've gotten stronger as the tournament has gone on. and I'm part of their identity during this tournament, it's sharing the basketball, playing good defense, I have to go back to that, if you say the jump shot isn't going for Proctor to open this second half, a good look from Mitchell and that is the matchup in the On the other end, Mitchell will have to filter out a lot of things that burn in NC State's eight straight wins since March 12, when they defeated Louisville in the ACCC tournament, were behind in that game that wasn't a guarantee by no means and It's amazing what this career has done, Burns' Nifty, a turn for DJ, his footwork is incredible, it really is.

I think you have to let go a little bit and regain position once he catches you and controls you, he just spins around with that Dury air, beautiful fashion, other. way to say down C 2723 Duke cute screen roach had a shot he didn't do it instead it's McCain and a long rebound for okell he was pushed to the floor horn lost his balance lost the ball out of bounds as a senior there Jeremy Roach's maturity was yelled at in the first half for poor transition defense, but he put his hands in there forcing that loss, particularly on DJ Horn, who is so good in transition that they say the hand, wrist, part of the ball, mhm, they got a lot of the ball. although it was a great play, but Horn still holds his wrist cockroach to clear the area one on one with Diara Filipowski was asking for it and now he is isolated with Burns and over the assistant, they threw him to Towers for two and right there R was He faced and was able to attack knowing that Burns has those two fouls and Philip Palowski reaching that left hand where he is so comfortable 2923 Duke nice screen to free him the Double Di pass he did not catch it cleanly and now he is in a difficult situation swing, okay, conell missed it, long rebound Morel hits the body of the cover, McCain is flying trying to save it and does it for roach, how about this good rebound from Proctor filipowski but he can't finish the fake ball Mitchell intercepted? it's a two on one oconnell running well G FL will do it himself for two how about that sequence? wo now it's heating up a little bit 29 25 Duke looks at filipowski running down the court, they left empty but what an effort Bourne is now three of 10 from the field, he has seven points and they are going to clean up the court.

I think it's a good time, so two bodies fell down the sideline on the previous possession and there's some stickiness, it's a very good give in early, too, without hesitating or being kind. of wisely taking away that baby, John imploring his boys to calm down, calm down, there's plenty of basketball left. I'm telling you guys, flying, diving off the backboard, big guys running down the court, you're putting it all out here in this second half. I think that's the key. when you talk about Burns too, Burns will play against Mitchell and mess things up in the middle, well that's why he has to drive or yell at people.

Dr. Defensa Kan puts it in and it's a triple. shooter but a slasher loves to get into that bucket of paint opportune there for Duke Jared McCain 15 of Duke's 31 points belong to Jared McCain you have to be careful in that position d filipowski many hands Faith in a rebound for one-on-one burns -one Burns converts Burns scores and this is old school basketball here two centers attacking once again Duke opts to play one on one, well John doesn't want the trees, although that's why you stay home, I think you have to do it. Maybe a little trickery and right now North Carina State is one of eight from the three-point line, so stick to the game plan if you do.

Mitchell tries to get a round. Burns isn't easy, but how about that attack? He has to do more of that. good footwork great strawberry work six points for Kansas City Kansas sophomore Mark Mitchell good change here Grant yes right now Mark Mitchell guarding Burns maybe to help filipowski keep him out of trouble diar misses a three McCain rebound that's not what they need Right now the three point numbers have been abysmal here for NC State, one of the nine had to blow the horn on The Rim cell and also the Mitchell screen used by Proctor oh R on the edge, look at that, I'm going to say box out. but it was all the box bounce, he didn't even jump, he took out the baseline, so birs started him across the floor or conell bounced the tailgate horn, gave him deep rocks and started sinking with a whip, opened that back door. good chance five C the extra look we have a four point game 1522 left in the second half the first two of the night for diara Proctor Bounce It Mitchell is going to challenge Birds again Mitchell not here, but finishes a foul Nice little move , make an adjustment to attack Burns, but an excellent backdoor exchange is leading North Carolina State to get into its offensive groove.

We got a ball game in just two weeks. We're headed to Augusta National Golf Club for a tradition like no other: the Masters on CBS and streaming on Paramount plus it will be a special Masters for legend and Dallas staple Vern Lung Quist it was great to work with a real what year Do you think it was Ru uh 1938? Yes, it was 1938. We got the amazing photo, so Vern was the man. Here in Dallas, a sports director at the local TV station, he was the voice of the Cowboys, he hosted bowling for dollars, he did absolutely everything and he's the best, and the 16th green made some unbelievable shots in your life.

The Tigers, Nike, fell while Remember that you are a big fan of the Masters. I know this a lot, so the first free throw missed for Duke now and out of every 10, Mitchell made a layup, couldn't finish it and missed a couple. B has to get going, I think he gets the horn. involved a little more so we don't get into the lane, he can also rise above Ro. I think it's like you said Moreell and Horn has to be the offense here for a good changeup, good changeup, third foul on burns before timeout so middle Brooks is there morcel trying excellent D ell Bounce It middle Brooks kick it diara cell what about him the little things and he experience alert yes Viria first game of two points cockroach using the screen Mitchell filipowski fakes in a nice turn of three that is fouled by diara, so three in burns three in diara for NC State.

However, I like that mode of attack, but here Marcel, who does the damage, here gets the inside position in that change, takes advantage and why not, the leader of the group, how do you like the little one of him? Diamond metal, you see that yes, it had a lot of brilliance yesterday four points and eight rebounds for Kyle filipowski rapor, you said it best in the last play, Kyle Philip did not solve a great shot fake, it is surprising that he likes to reach that beautiful turn with the left hand move in traffic I like it in that attacking mode, although I think he's a better player sets up an open three sometimes wears the same uniform number that John shy wore during his days at Duke number 30 oh, even the coach, funny that's how you took that factoy 3531 Duke fou problems diara Burns three a piece Blakes got three for the Blue Devils really worked hard to defend those horns whip the horn kick o Connell looked up at theinside 12 to shoot these old back switches contain the dribble Drive marel lost it for his loss of foot excellent perimeter d also Duke is looking for its 18th final four third in NCA tournament history behind Kentucky and North Carolina establishing a high and low here proor 10 on the Duke stopwatch up by four young screen switch jab jumped off the rim and thought right there that the possession I found with three fouls put it with Filipowski's ball trapped there open I have a three I tell you what you have to answer this guy can turn it on quickly Big Time gamer 10 points for DJ horn 3534 Duke and a foul under Morel I think with a hole Morel was a little tied up with Philip Housey they are so good launching forward finding the horn in transition without any awareness that he's a good shot in the North Carolina State offense and fearless at all times By the way, he played for your friend Bobby Hurley, as you know, for Bobby Arizona State activity away from the ball, halfback Brooks and Filipowski collide and the foul called against NC State Big Ben Middlebrooks, that's his first attempt to beat the screen right there and just Both guys are physical.

Middlebrook strong, frustrated, could have sold a little that he is a good backup, although it gives him that different look, he opens up opportunities in the r corner. Three overcooked it. Proctor's chance for NC State to take the lead. B turning and turning. committed a foul, it's an overdrive always heading to Phoenix download the men's final four app presented by AT&T to help you plan enjoy and participate in all the excitement of the weekend available for iOS on Android free throws here for horn Jeremy roach picks up the foul well, they can get up the other end quickly, we take bad shots, you get stuck on that offensive end, oh fill the lanes and you're not afraid to attack the rim.

I love DJ Horn, he can shoot the three in transition, but he didn't settle right there. He attacked, put pressure and went straight to the roach, forced contact and forced the officials to make that foul. DJ Horn grew up 10 minutes from the NC State campus, first at Illinois State, his mom and dad, Tavona and Lamar, taking their family-known RV. like Glattus across the country to see DJ play, transfers to Arizona State, leaves with the RV. Well, Glattus did a good job. Glattus is still running. Glattus has a lot of miles. 3635, first lead since 87 for the wolf pack.

Now this alignment. I think you have to enter inside the screen to throw yourself at the post Blakes looks for Filipowski one by one with the r playing with three fouls colliding bodies Kilipi gets the throw and the foul has to take advantage of it Duke has to use it frequently without burns on the floor I think he can do a lot of damage and he is the number four in diara, they are great at getting to the middle using that physicality and passing through the arms while going up to the rim to initiate that contact and with burns. out of the game Philip Hsky took advantage of the fourth foul on Diara, so Burns returned Diara to the bench.

Diara is so important. I mean, he's been so valuable to this team that North Carolina State during this run hasn't been able to get him. Although today we are on the right track not making shots I think there is more that Filipowski can give a big advantage so many areas of the court that he can dominate 3836 Duke's offense has improved a little in this second half Burns trying to back up well oh, they made a foul on him misses the young man I almost tried to pull the chair there like Rick Mahorn, but as I backed away, Burns looked young and gave up some space.

Burns almost lost his balance and I sure saw a lot of contact there, but I like L's trick, just a little more. From that, both teams choose to play one-on-one in the post. I think you have to help at some point, just a hand there and then recover. Here's Burds, he throws it in and on Mr DJ he turns up the music for NC State. we're tied at 38 use young to block I think it was 8 minutes in this second offensive foul filipowski I'll tell you I love the toughness of Ben, the middle Brooks, they blocked him right there, he got under the screen and anticipated the right turn .

He dropped that left shoulder right into Middlebrooks' chest right there, his feet were moving but he was still in position, great call there and I'm telling you both teams give it their all defensively, they certainly know each other, I mean, yeah, no. a scouting report is needed. in this game, Mark Mitchell returns to the court, Filipowski heads to the bench, three fouls, diara on the bench for NC State, with four burns on the court, with three likes, post it here on the overhead speaker trying to shake the Blake's horn, floats, rises. the rebound, he's such a confident kid in that lane, then he lets go and feels the quick timeout again, the great effective lineup right now for North Carolina State Road at Texas MC Ernie, that's tremendous, could be the shot of the tournament , congratulations Purdue.

The final four bound for Yukon Alabama punched their tickets last night hoping to see them all in Phoenix and which team will join them Ed, not bad for a hockey player, eh, no, not bad, and they get Phil Filipowski back to Filipowski. Bir playing with those three fouls Filipowski tried to massage him and was bounced by the horn and very disciplined there for burns with three fouls without fouls and referee at this time this second half NC State 73% from the field in the first half were 27% and Grant it's seven for seven on two points in the second half this is where he's dangerous right here you're a py and you find people love that drop step like that what you and if you're going to play him straight and let let it go to your place here you can't defend yourself, it's over, it feels effortless when you get to that place and very automatic 16 points eight of 12 for the field the reverse drive does not go for cockroach out of bounds out of bounds of NC State that they've had chances in the r right now DJ is bringing the right beats for the wolf back they're birds back to back DJ with nimble feet spins the fade understood he's got that pull up game beautiful it's Stewart with the loation look here M that's it deep one, but in transition, this kid is dynamite game summary NC State, the 11th seed in the South, leading fourth-seeded Duke 42-38, the big key here NC State was held to 21 points in the first half so far in the second half. outscored the Blue Devils 21-1 and they were lucky to only be down at halftime with the struggles they had and the foul trouble in that first half at

state

, hey Grant, I like this lineup right now, I see the screen by Mitchell entering the lane if you can roach float up shot hoops bounce KN out Taylor has it for the wolf pack oops burs got trapped a way to stop now they have the smallest Mark Mitchell protecting Burns good pass to the right Burns failed on floater bounce scoop oh CLE keeps it alive State's extended possession and all 50/50 balls right now are going SE State's way measuring the buzzer Proctor, gets the double buzzer now single cover six to shoot the buzzer looking an open space for the middle of the double team Brooks gets fouled, I think Fasi or Mitchell tried to screw with Cork's body and it will be number four for Kyle filipowski oh that was a great pass right there, great Patience for the horn and then the ball fakes there and the shot fakes and Philip howski but Middlebrook with a great cut and curl to get free and John Shy got upset, he thought that the foul, if anything, should have been in front with Proctor and he is moving away from Duke. 949 Second half mark, half Brooks on the free kick. line where he shoots 74% Ryan Young will check in after the first to replace Filipowski Midbrook just has nice little things, I mean, very aware obviously, wonderful appearance but great presentation, so here comes Young, the sixth grader Senior year, another one here for Middlebrooks. strength Mobility excellent rebounder and probably made lunch today so he had to run on the side he was late the other day it was a little windy here and there a little he did R for 20 minutes I think they forgot this is the biggest advantage for NC State six is ​​a guard lineup right now it's not a good foul that far and it's going to be called Taylor Duke has only five points in the last almost 7 minutes of action and I at halftime Tracy talked to John shy and just said We are not in shape offensively, but that has carried over into the second half, I just didn't get into his stuff and he didn't play and shoot with confidence.

McCain, they need a shake up here, eight to shoot. good in the lane they need your experience your tenacity your aggressiveness they have to put a stamp on it if they want to win eight points for Jeremy Roach the senior 4440 NC St there is a play that they love he will bounce your way and read what you What you are going to do If you help him a lot, he will find that Burns turns step by step Burns, he is a cheater. Cod, what are you doing? What do you do well if you double team? He's very good at finding shooters, but he only carries this team. down, gets in that lane, forget it 18 points, nine of 14 from the field, leads all scores and that's a trip up and down, was trying to get rid of it for Young, uncharacteristic, usually in these situations, the cockroach is a very good calming presence.

Right there, just a little bit of indecision, but even burns too well with little handhelds, they switch to young Ryan, now he'll have the challenge of trying to protect and contain Burns Corner, smooth as silk, you get it, go, go , Horn of Plenty Duke needs a timeout right now. they do it both DJs are spinning it 48 to 40 wolf back with the leader it's time to connect to the madness with the house of highlights fan Camp powered by AT&T 5G in the stands with the fans this is the perspective right on the court high fives everywhere When Duke made a play right now, NC State made all the plays and took a 48-40 lead over the Blue Devils and now I also think the collective experience of this NCA team obviously has many new faces on this team this year, but The older guys don't make excuses at all, but you see the maturity on display and the adjustments that come out of that half and they've done everything right on both ends of the floor and obviously feed the big guy with the one they have joined together at the end. of the year and DJ Horn give him some space he will light it up what a confident offensive player and filipowski gets back on the court for Duke with just over 8 minutes left in this second half let's check in with Tracy well John sh . calling that timeout is his message to his team, we're there, it's fine, but we need to know where DJ Horn is at all times and offensively we need to move the ball and specifically.

He also mentioned chasing those loose balls, those 50/50 balls I need to win them Kowski lost it around the rim the question no one touched him they are saying a bunt was touched by NC State I didn't know if he got four oh no no please call please I know the Box Roll I know what a critical juncture, he's just begging, he's not arguing and what happened, obviously, Kevin Keats called a technical foul, questioning what I'm talking about, kindness again, the reaction to the rule, I know they were told that is outside the trainer's area, why not warn?

He is allowed a warning. Oh, such a key play, he may be right and yet he is punished, so the tactician is on ke for extending outside the box and by the way he was justified in questioning it. I know it's easy for the coach to tie. We have it. and he doesn't have that kind of easy temperament either, he's just a nice, calm guy who coaches his team, so McCain makes a couple of free throws to make this a six-point game, so it's a ball they don't get and a chance for now four or five points in a row, could be a big swing here in Duke's favor if they could convert and score, and keep in mind that the decision on the court was the last touch.

NC State, we only saw a couple of

replay

s, it was Filipowski who simply put it up, it came out of the SLI of his hand, put it in, the ball is hit towards proon, it unbalances it, it does not go out of bounds, going in the opposite direction, Brer, yes, he has had trouble here tonight from three inside 0 of seven and you see Kevin Keats near the scoreboard, there, yes, there he is, he reacted extended towards the middle of the court and beyond the training area, yes, head, they handle the pressure, shooting in the second half.

NC State is 11 of 15, Duke is five. of 17 maybe throw a quick trap on the catch I think you have to do something I have to do something yes there are double birds come with an extra Taylor four and come home six to fire the horn makes his move Proctor stops dead good defense of Proctor bounced by McCain in the length of Proctor giving some problems there for the buzzer on that jump shot and also changed the scheme McCain gets a touch of the dribble under McCain shows it and takes it away down the middle Brooks what a job he's been doing this kid brings it up to the court OK, come in, they also got a foul on the court, it could be Mitchell right.

Middlebrooks committed that foul on Mitchell but got the steal and we knowthat NC State love playing with Pace. They find Shooters in the middle of Brooks. attacking there as the three passed from Oconnell and there was contact inside while Mitchell and Middlebrooks were fighting there for position and how about Middlebrook's play on the other end? They're going to take a look at this to see if there's any damage. First flagrant foul called against Mitchell, that was when the ball went up from Okon, so there were bodies falling there. McCain initially then middle Brooks gets hit by Mitchell as he was trying to go down the lane to rebound, yeah, Mitchell extended that left arm right there.

Watch Jared McCain go down and watch this State or Connell team bite you at the most opportune time or at the most opportune moment for you, well how about just the big three you have at NC State and how they're all different and how do they play? in Impact winning Dr not having the game he has had the last six or seven but the middle Brook more and you know more than capable and you see here the little shudder that you give me in the comment Valle, the check is coming, the officials have made a determination .

It's a fault, it's just that you don't think it's an F1, no, I would say, and it will be a common fault. Doug Surman Brian oconnell good conversation Michael Irving, common foul, common foul, you're like you like th% in this tournament. Bill, yeah, so far, Jean, the F machines through a little bit of B up, but oh Jesus, money, so this is another look. He was pushed down by Mitchell, who then ended up on the ground because his own teammate knocked him down. Now NC State will have possession after the foul and the bird. They have had problems on the out-of-bounds baseline.

They've had trouble stopping Burns. Yeah, how can you stop this kid? Look at this step. Burns is too easy. He owns it. He can. He plays like this until he is 90 years old, a feeling so wonderful that he has 20 points. Duke faces its largest tournament deficit 5342. They got beat up in the box trying to give filipowski extra, yes, full coverage for the NCA Division 1 women's tournament at the

ncaa

. com and B you're DJing spinning talking about the records you can dance to your footwork is amazing Wolfpack basketball is going pretty well now the women's team advanced to their first four-way final since 1998 the men's team trying to get to the four-way final first half since 1983 and Duke in some trouble here, 641 to play and in this stretch they have been in these last eight games for NC State, this is the time of the game where they really excel, they are able to shut down their suffocating defense opponent and great execution, which is pretty much what they've done the whole second half and St, back on the court, you get some movement, some excitement on the defensive end, maybe you get some outs if you do that, are fouls at 18 am against NC State, so Filipowski makes the first on the front of the one on one connects on the second is 5344 Wolfpack 3217 NC State outscored Duke in the second half that 2 two1 but they had to make some stops I mean NC State they are shooting 72% 13 of 18 from the field here in this second half most of that has been DJ Burns starting with Taylor oh no you can't sell out like that for this Banker kid no blocking well , first of all yes, definitely a foul, but Ro's courage to take over DJ burns his life oh man, I don't know the move Duke wanted, but he leaned over there and took a step, sacrificed his body and luckily for he's still in the game, but filipowski you can't bet on that play right there.

You have to be solid defensively, which is why DJ Burns is shooting 68% for the first time at the line tonight. 20 points are added to another. Watch Masters live for exclusive coverage of Amen Corner hlls 15 and 16 and featured groups watch live on the CBS Sports app. task, he's a unique player, no one in college basketball plays like DJ Burns, he's so unique among Keith Burns Jr, he's like Zach Randolph with the personality of Shaquille O'Neal, he should be doing some commercials, check him out, jumper M , they need it, that's great. It tracks it, you took a good look at it.

Filipowski can't hit all three long rebounds. Roach walks the tightrope and saves him. Less than 6 minutes left. Roach turns the corner into Mo, for Stewart, knocked out of the air and out of bounds. off Burns' hot potato, well, first of all, great hands on that deflection, bad hands trying to catch that ball. Burns laughs, but just the big Instinct right there, look at the hands, I mean, it was unbelievable, he just couldn't secure the ball there on that play and Duke. now it's two of 13 from three point territory 0 of six in the second half he gets it on Filipowski he keeps shooting the air ball and keeps looking they didn't need a three that possession there were three three point attempts this drop this drop The coverage has really hurt the offensive scheme and left him on the ground.

I think now he has to become a blocker, especially with the drop, but it was so short because there was contact. Well, he hit his arm after the shot. There you could call that a foul, but I think you could still be an aggressive attack, get to the paint, maybe draw fouls if you're Duke to set up your defense. NC State leads by 10 and there is no rush, 5 and 1 half left in regulation, a small pin down and a block Marcel looking for burns trying to get a good angle to get on the screen DJ jumper DJ horn out of the limits of Duke and B Middlebrooks there he is always in the mix this kid what do you need coach just the high physical energy puts pressure? you and right there the long rebound filipowski too much under the basket to get that long rebound you really have to drive and try to get to the foul line on the other end of your Duke you're not making the threes you get a couple around the rim get to the free throw line maybe a kick for an open look this team certainly stayed solid on both ends throw it one on one with Stewart hit it hard at the top of the window the cut is set the F 5644 NC State who has 18 points 13 in the second half cockroach guard through the middle Brooks off Proctor the three balls that are not going to rule out Filipowski and he has reached the quota, it has been that one night there for Philip Howski really frustrated by a couple of fouls on his part at beginning In the first half Brook got physical, threw him out of the way down fighting with Okano and you just can't take him down like he did and that typifies this team, although fitness is the big moment, kiss the cut to set it up. up, that was a play, I think they ran that play out of bounds, they got the ball to Burns and then of course the buzzer just went around the buzzer and went to the basket. this team here has been all in

state

here in this second half 11 points nine rebounds Kyle filipowski the night ended the lack of number seven team over Duke or Connell an 80% shooter played at Shaman High School star in Lacrosse and basketball then a year prep at Blair Academy missed free throw NC State leads by 12 McCain for hesitation that he won't go, nothing is going down for Duke's shots, they usually make this team wear on you.

Four and a half left, that's five of 23 in the second half. Burns left it open nice and easy Burns gets Dr. another one for DJ burds. You're not going to play horseback riding with him. I'll tell you that the float and the smile, the magic of the NCA tournament, the cockroach that travels the world fighting DJ Birds, the ability to wait for time, the smart game, right there, how cute is this great footwork . touch big personality fans happy everyone Raley happy Inc State great second half for NC State led 58-46 over duplets check out Capital One's gratifying performance well it's been all this man right here DJ Burns footwork Coming off of course from his teammate trumpet to the DJs we talked about them at the beginning of the game here tonight Kevin Keats has his team playing top basketball and watches dancing to the music he likes watching here knows all the songs dancing Not during the game, the bird has rhythm. has rhythm The birds got the words this is a 11th NC state making this happen right now in the south regional final okell gets the count from St.

I thought it was a good block. I thought it was good too. What a rush to get back there and yes, it seemed that way. okay from that angle from where we are, but you're going to check it out, well, yeah, no, that looked clean from that angle. Stewart standing tall. I thought he had gotten it before he hit the glass. I wish I could have jumped that high. Yeah, well, I think you did well, although it's amazing this personality emanating from Burns, but with the awareness of finding it while they pressure you right there, the guards find Burns wide open.

Jean's stator is with us at the moment. Jean, you just saw. the replays we saw, what do you think? I'm going to try to get my iron percentage out there and go with Raph on this one and say it's a good block, uh, iron, it hits him before he hits the glass, it's on his upward trajectory I think. they go with a clean block, they take away the goal, the next step is it's a loose ball when that whistle blows, so by rule they have to go to the possession arrow and they have to give the ball to NC State.

Can we go back? to that technical foul genene for a moment I agree with you on that is that a warning situation from your book you know rap I'm not down there I don't know what the coach said if it's an emotional reaction it's a step or two outside the box due to a tight out of bounds or something that just feels like they missed uh again, I'm not down there, I don't know what words were said, but yeah, in a case of just an emotional step out of the box one or two steps Would you like someone to say that you know? go back, get into the box.

I'm going to talk to you, uh, yeah, but as a rule, he's outside the box, right? Hello, Jean, we are. We're going to open the phones in this questions to Jean segment. We have a call from skoki. Go ahead, for Jean. Oh. By the way, we have DJ here and we have Jean dancing at the Y. We respond to Jean, thank you. have the officials here who are determining what happened. Duke felt strongly that Shawn Stewart got the block and R. you and Grant were on it right away. Look at B. He is such a lovely boy.

Kevin. They asked him what the key was. About this streak he said that the key to our success is that we are having a lot of fun and that has been legit and you can feel it, you can feel it watching them here today in this game and of course meeting with them yesterday, seeing them in practice, it was A great experience. spirit and energy and it really comes from their DJ. DJ absolutely burns and Kevin, a lovely guy, when you meet him and you know him, I knew when he was with Mintino in Louisville, he just chilled out during the turmoil that Tracy talked so much about that they had to inherit. when yes, exactly, they had big problems, they had an NCA situation, he weathered that storm and only a guy who believes in himself and is comfortable with what he's trying to accomplish could do this and this team right now is in the mission that is there and It shows and the success of the ACC has been evident in this tournament, but the success of NC State has really stood out.

I didn't have to go tending, okay, we have a good blue block, the hissing cockroach has the ball, so it's Duke's ball on the baseline. with 30 seconds going the other way they got possession, they had possession when I blew the whistle, the roach has the ball fine, thanks Doug, they had possession, so they got possession, that's what they were looking at, they had determined it was a no-go to be a goal what they were looking for if the ball ended up in Duke's hands he did it for roach or they went to the possession arrow if they were not sure so technically Jean was partly right, yes he was right with the decision he was right to me, that's a win, yeah, yeah, Tai goes to Tai goes to G, right, 5846 NC State Duke with possession here with cockroach down to 335 to play.

Filipowski is fouled. McCain, one wide move and take it home, has to get some offense. from this D now straight man y'all got a little catch they're great when they get over half court using the clock as it was nice weather and shooting day for Middle Brooks ball movement NC State operate the trap and turn. it becomes a two if you are not used to pressing, you do not recover the rotation to cover the main eliminated from his hand so he can resume his dribbles in the middle Brooks could not finish it, the next one bounces at 60 to 50 we have 252 on the clock OKO has a little tough spot needs help good bandage just shoots it forward lacrosse style and now they settle into the game stay away here with eight to shoot again no one home and middle Brooks leaves it and you said it Best Duke no He's used to catching and playing this way and fighting is not his game, it's not his game.

They scored 21 points in the first half. They got 41 in the second half and a foul called on Ben Middlebrooks tomorrow on CBS Mornings. Olympic gold medalist gymnast. In her next chapter, Ali discusses what she learned as a role model for children and her advice for young athletes in theCBS mornings tomorrow what a look here these guys have experience I mean these guys have played a lot of basketball the guards you throw Burns in there. It's like having four guards on the court, all capable of making the right pass, the pass is contagious, it's really because you passed the check many times, including at the free throw line last night, roach, filipowski, helpless situation after of committing a foul with 11. points and nine rebounds there are 218 on the clock roach shoots 86% the senior has meant a lot to this program a captain the last two years finishes okell handles the pressure himself and in horn's hands these guys The perimeter players have been fantastic and a foul called on Mitchell is going to be foul number eight against Duke, but the backcourt rotation has been sensational.

A very confident group, they give up, they are not afraid to take charge, take the lane and make some threes. The big guy is taking a break. DJ Burns to the bench 23 points one and one one for DJ's horn blown on the run High School also played a Trinity Christian hoop rebounded by Stewart who will go fast until he loses his balance he is saved by cockroach contact blocking a foul on Oconnell and almost rapped a load right there, okono Bo, he jumped fast, didn't he jump fast? Great anticipation, yes, never got there, never got out, but his defense has also been extraordinary and this is with drop coverage where you can usually get that little floater. in the lane so it's roach to the free throw line 202 on the clock which is 10 team fouls on NC State so two free throws here Duke has actually made more free throws than field goals tonight 17 of 20 on the line 16 of 54 from the field right now Duke with 51 points have averaged 70 points in the three tournament games during this streak here, but only 79 on the year, I mean, totally confused here in this game defensively you can't stop that guy and they just couldn't score from three or in the ring or in the mid range Burns is back in one of two for roach this is a 10 point game 2 minutes left they have to look ahead forward they have someone open if they want is We did it in fight after fight for DJ Burds, it took the whole team to get him up too, just doing so many good things, the selfless work, you can see the big guy who knows where to go, get down hit the trail and you will find it. he can come out with the best of him and his dad has had fantastic reactions throughout the game.

I'd say he's a fan favorite there. I think he's a fan favorite everywhere except Durham, which he plays with so much love and enjoyment, oh my goodness, he is. out for the year, that guy was a business decision, oh man, CH's hit will be 26 points for the birds and R, they are still competing on defense for the state team in preparation here, right here. I want you to want me to not. I don't know if I want that chess, you got him jovial, fun loving, but he's a competitor, oh he is, just a leader for this game and a go-getter too, that's right.

Vending machines, t-shirts, well, you both sound like you're jealous, we're freedom's McCain. shooting line with 147 on the clock you could feel the change in the early stages of the second half Duke had lost their footing a little bit and NC State was gaining pace on offense and then they started riding Burns and Duke had no answers and they didn't have answers and Duke never really made that adjustment that they made at the end of the game, they started to double the team a little bit, but for most of the second half it was all Burns and he delivered the third game of the season, the most important, although the ACC tournament was important because if NC State didn't win that game, they're not here and Kevin was saying this team hasn't had a championship in quite a few years at State, now they're going to get a chance to go up against good work, good Stewart and takes it out of bounds two seconds on the clock here has good reaction though smart time right there yes, exactly timeout requested by NC State one minute 39 to play with double digits familiar enemies in all ACC matchups in the south regional final NC State I already had confidence from what they did in the ACC tournament and what they did in the NCA tournament, but I think the added layer of confidence is that they knew their opponent and understood the mission.

Duke takes it with a minute and a half left. jumper goes to Proctor, a three ball and he's out of bounds for the Blue Devils oh he's had a rough day don't burn him another thought what does this do? The state program was suddenly executed. Everyone talks about Duke in North Carolina. The clums had a great run this year, but I suddenly think the Research Triangle in ACC basketball is at its best when all three are at a high level. This could be a launching pad for Kevin Keats in his program not only for the final four but for years to come with the recruiting transfer portal and that job was in serious jeopardy.

Winning the ACC tournament triggered a two-year extension on his contract, so he doesn't have to think about worrying about that. They have been galvanized by doubt and by the question marks about how long this career could last in his eyes, it could go all the way to a championship, you know, he thinks of everything, by the way, I don't know if you notice the shine of the shoes he wears. The shoes are amazing. He says he wears referee shoes. He could gain favor by using them. He thought I like that skill with the referees and the shine of the shoes.

He's been shining with this group here all postseason. He has many superstitions. We know Dan Hurley has a lot, he said, I pack enough clothes for the trip. I don't need to use it over and over again. Some people in this group do that too. 6754 NC State 116 to commit another called foul and that's not necessary, right? Now you just want time to run out, if you're NC State, don't give Duke a chance to make free throws and rotate the big two here. Burns goes back to Kevin Keats, it looks like he's on a boat ride sitting on the bench.

On the other hand, it's good that he enjoys the moment. I would do it too. I mean this team is magical, but here's the other part: It really has been a team effort for NC State throughout this entire tournament. Burns, obviously, you can't take your eyes off him. He is just great. fun to watch, but middle brooks' role here tonight taking fouls being physical yelling at filipowski basically spot on. I mean, everyone has contributed tonight, we know that Diar has had moments where he has been rebounding spectacularly doing the little things that Michael Oconnell did with that incredible shot. sending it to overtime against Virginia in the ACC tournament so everyone has contributed, they are so focused and they just haven't done it, they are playing with great joy and defense, I mean they are tough on the perimeter, they saved the big guy in the bye in the lane, does not allow access and diara is not one of his best games bird no diara foul trouble has been limited offensively has still grabbed seven rebounds but has been on a streak of seven consecutive games of double-digit rebounds four consecutive double doubles five in the last six what is it?

The interesting thing is Kevin Keats, he just plays with seven guys, seven guys and they just know what to do, they know how to play with each other. McCain hits a three-pointer and a timeout called by Duke reduced it to 10 105 to play destiny. Phoenix, three of the four spots in the final four are set. Eastern Yukon Regional Champion, defending national champions, Western Alabama Regional Champion, first final four appearance and Purdue, out of the Midwest, first final four since 1980. 105 to play here in Dallas. NC State 68. Duke 58. Nervous moment, I think for Kevin the pressure maybe releases it, he gets some opportunities and a couple of Three Dukes are knocking on the door, they also missed a bunch of free throws which is obviously Worrying when you're just trying to finish a game, but it's certainly possible that later in this tournament you'll need free throws late or cheat, stick it in Taylor, what a lucky horn gets to the ball and then speed up, give up, Burns CL, up and at plus one, someone else would have come up strong, he just scoffs. you with his body control his understanding when he saw sha coming Stewart made a great block a few minutes ago and he just froze right there and just did everything right he laughs great personality joy to see not only a fan favorite and Raleigh and him Fan favorite across the country is going to fall in love with this kame 7158.

Burns is benching and retiring right now, perhaps for defensive purposes. He may have been doing that. I don't know, did you see him jump like jumping over R in a little jump? Yes, they only have 50 points in the second half. Oconnell doesn't give up ground and forces a turnover against McCain and they're going to watch. I guess 49.1. Duke complains. NC State wants to intervene and they're going to Take a look if the dribble ball could have bounced off NC State and that's why McCain reacted to this guy right there and took it off of McConnell's leg and corrected another look, yeah he was on the side of his knee, but that's how they worked.

Strongly containing the dribbling that is part of the dilemma for Duke, he never got pieces from the lane and kicked triples always under the rest always challenged and what was impressive when Oconnell slid his feet, his hands were in the air, he did not use his hand. use your feet to defend only a smart, well-coached team here the little details that was a big thing with Jay writing defensively outside and on The Rim too and he used to make the kids throw their hands back on their shoulders just to let the referee I know, Michael Irving took a look and they're going to pass the ball to Duke Duke to add 2/10 of a second to the clock. 49.3 13-point lead for NC State.

The brother puts it in. McCain shoots and makes a three-pointer. to a 10 point game 47 seconds on the clock I have to cut and be strong and post and look over Morel looks that way nice post they got another timeout oh it looked like a foul there on Mitchell foul is Mitchell Kevin was called Timeout on the bench that will send NC State to the free throw line with Morel who shoots at 80% personal fourth on Mark Mitchell 40 points6 to play from Fort Washington Maryland two years for Virginia now in his fifth season 80% of that shooting line free had a great pull-up game said he wanted to be a broadcaster that's what I heard I think he told you he actually did it yes he thought you might know someone told him I know you he makes a pair NC State leads Kane by 12, comes off the rebound and a foul is called and that's it for Mark Mitchell 31.1 number 25 Mitchell, that's his fifth person down, so the season will end here for Duke, they were looking for their 18th Final Four appearance, but it will stop dry. here at the

elite

they were allowing just 51 points per game in this tournament, the lowest in the field, they have allowed 73 to NC State, most of that damage in the second half and the reality that is slowly setting in here can be devastating for TJ. power in the game to Duke or Connell at the free throw line, I just saw John with Jeremy Roos there embracing all the hard work at the moment when the effort gets so close to the final four and you just don't deliver offensively, but certainly a season Duke should be proud of McCain with another triple 20 25.8, but he came a little late, exactly early, they couldn't force him to handle the pressure, back into Horn's hands, he runs through it, splits the defenders and now they just keep him away from Duke. the celebration begins for NC State fans and a foul was called with 1.9 and John had actually called the ball so NC St can pad the numbers here to the free throw line, that was nice, huh?

Kan congratulated them, they are going to be rocking in Raleigh. and in Carolina, another for trumpet, he is such a lovely boy there, everyone who caresses him must have big arms, but put him in and it's over. This is what dreams of an improbable run to the final four for NC State are made of, echo of 19 1983. and the cardiac pack, this has been a joy ride for the wolf pack, incredible and I'm just thinking of Jimmy V smiling there, running around as you noticed and this group of kids like at the end of the year they started to believe in each other.

Coming back up and down the stretch, he sure feels a little like Destiny to this group. We know there are some great teams waiting for Utah and others waiting for Purdue Alabama, but they have continued to do the unthinkable. 7674 NC State beats Duke, final four are set tip times NC State Purdue will start coverage on TBS 609 Eastern followed by Yukon and Alabama which will be 8:49 Eastern Final Four 24 will include NC State
