Battle of giants

EAST REGIONAL

DUKE 77, CENTRAL FLORIDA 76

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Zion Williamson took on 7-foot-6 Tacko Fall at the end and won. So did top-seeded Duke -- barely -- when two last-ditch shots by Central Florida rolled off the rim.

Williamson had 32 points and helped rally the Blue Devils from behind in the final minute for a 77-76 victory Sunday to reach the Sweet 16.

Aubrey Dawkins finished with 32 points for the Knights, but his tip-in try just missed in the final seconds.

Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski "talks a lot about the basketball gods," a happy Williamson said.
