Duke has survived the most intense game of the NCAA tournament. The Blue Devils beat UCF, 77-76, to advance to the Sweet 16.

Duke trailed by three on its final offensive possession when Zion Williamson missed a three-pointer. Duke grabbed the offensive rebound and kicked it back out to Williamson, who cut the deficit to one. Williamson missed the ensuring free throw, but teammate R.J. Barrett scored to give Duke the lead. UCF had one final chance, but missed a shot at the rim for the win.
