Unless you’re lucky enough to win a national championship, the end of the college basketball season comes abruptly for 67 teams no matter how far you go.
Either you die a painful death like UCF and Virginia Tech did, or you see the seconds dwindle away and know that soon it’s about to be over.
That was the case for Duke Sunday evening. RJ Barrett hit a three to put Duke up 64-63 then Zion Williamson hit a layup to put Duke up by three.
But then the Spartans hit a layup to cut it to one and Kenny Goins hit a clutch three to put MSU up by two with :39 seconds left.
