It benefits players as well and that is playing in different speeds and being able to adjust on the fly. The Duke Blue Devils and Gonzaga Bulldogs started on in 4th gear and the Zags started to get their mojo. Then Coach K makes some subtle adjustments slowing the game down to benefit Duke All-American "Big Jah" Okafor and the rest was history!

The Blue Devils leading at the break 31-26 withstood the Zags best shots in the 2nd half as Team Mark Few went scoreless (No Baskets but two free throws) the last 6:40 of the game and that is getting it done on the defensive end for the Dukies!  

"Big Jah" had just 9 points and eight boards as it was Texas Platers for Duke in Houston's Justice Winslow (16 pts 5 rebs) and Dallas, Texas Area Desoto, Texas Matt Jones ( 16 pts 4-6 3pt FG) that did the job. Throw in the "Dukies" excellent guard play in Tyus Jones (15 pts 6 asst) and Quinn Cook ( 10 pts 5 rebs) here comes the Cameron Krazies to Indy vs "Green" and "Izzone"!

The Zags go out as Kyle Wiltjer led with 16 points and five boards and Byron Wesley adding 10 points and five boards. Gonzaga shot just 2 for 10 from the arc with the Dukies 8 for 19. Then you add the Zags shooting 6 for 9 from the stripe to Duke's 16 for 19 the had no shot in the 2nd half...none!

Duke now heads to the Final four joining two other #1's and a #7 in Michigan State...
