For the first 19 minutes Thursday night, Arizona looked ready to challenge Duke.
But like so many teams before them, the Wildcats were reminded that college basketball is a 40-minute game. And keeping up with Duke for those 40 minutes is a difficult task, indeed,
Duke closed the first half with a 6-0 run then seized control early in the second en route to a 100-93 win over Arizona in the Sweet 16. In the end, Duke faced its stiffest test of the NCAA tournament. But it leaves the Sweet 16 with a convincing win over a good Arizona team.
