A date with Michigan, which has cruised in the Tournament so far, including a 90-77 win over Alabama in the Sweet 16. The Wolverines have covered their last two Tournament games, while Tennessee has covered all three of its postseason games, including as an underdog against ISU.

In the second half, Duke trailed 55-45, before outscoring the Red Storm 35-20 and escaping with an 80-75 win. Now, it will face a UConn program that has won two of the last three national titles, after the Huskies eked past Michigan State in the Sweet 16, in a game they led most of the way.
