St. John's vs Duke

Duke came back from a 10-point deficit to survive a furious St. John's rally in the East Region Fourth Round at Capital One Arena. The Red Storm dominated stretches of the second half, building that commanding 55-45 lead behind a devastating 15-1 run. But the Blue Devils refused to break, clawing back with relentless defense and clutch execution down the stretch. The final minute was pure March madness drama. Bryce Hopkins gave St. John's hope with a layup at 0:53, making it 77-74. But Duke's composure shined through as Cameron Boozer sealed it with back-to-back free throws in the final seconds, finishing the comeback 80-75. The No. 1 seed's resilience proved too much for the Red Storm's upset bid.
