Sure, Michigan State fans want to knock off Duke. But beware of Michigan

Michigan State coach Tom Izzo recaps the first weekend of the NCAA tournament and looks ahead to the Sweet 16. Chris Solari, Detroit Free Press

They are out there, those Devils dressed in blue and white, haunting Tom Izzo’s dreams. Beat LSU this Friday night in D.C. and the spectre of Mike Krzyzewski hovers.

Michigan State is 1-11 against Duke under Izzo. To get another chance, each must win in the Sweet 16. In any other year, in any other tournament, beating the Blue Devils to get to the Final Four would go down in the annals.
