March Madness: Duke pulls off 16-point comeback, shocks No. 2 Ohio State to advance to Sweet 16

It took three days, but one of the top seeds has finally gone down in the women's tournament.

After trailing by double digits in the first half, No. 7 Duke shocked No. 2 Ohio State, defeating them 75-63 and moving on to its first Sweet 16 since 2018.

Early on, the game was all Ohio State. The Buckeyes doubled up Duke in the first quarter, leading 20-10, and at one point had a 16-point lead over the Blue Devils, who went a shocking 11 minutes without a basket in the first half. Despite all that, by the end of the first half, Duke had cut Ohio State's lead to 36-32.
