Duke's defensive revival has been well-documented during the NCAA Tournament, and it was at its best in the national semifinal. After the Spartans took an early lead before the first TV timeout, Duke emerged and kept Tom Izzo's team to just 3-of-22 shooting, a cold streak that extended beyond halftime.

Kentucky took the lead at the 7:42 mark in the second half, capping off a 12-4 run, but Wisconsin snapped a cold shooting streak to tie things up with 2:35 left, and Dekker took the lead back with a huge three-pointer. The Badgers expanded the lead to three points with 24.5 seconds left and salted the game away with free throws, ending Kentucky's season at 38-1.
