1. Fun facts..

Duke's 16-point loss is the largest by a defending champion since Michigan State lost in the 2001 Final Four by 19 points..

Arizona's 93 points are the most allowed by Duke in the Men's Basketball Championship since Providence beat them 98-87 in 1997..

With 5:56 left in the firs half, Duke led 31-20. From that point on, Arizona outscored the Blue Devils by an amazing 73-46..

Who says the Pac-10 can't play basketball?

4. An unlikely MVP for 'Zona: Lesley Visser??!!

As we know, Coach Needlenose doesn't give halftime interviews.

Until last night...

Before halftime, Mike Krzyzewski did something he almost never does: He stopped for a television interview. After halftime, his Duke team did something it almost never does: They got run out of the gym.

The top-seeded Blue Devils held a six-point, 44-38, halftime lead over Arizona in their west regional semifinal in Anaheim. When the teams came out of the locker room, the Wildcats put on a clinic, using a 19-2 run to burst past Coach K's team en route to a 93-77 victory. Arizona outscored Duke 55-33 in the second half....

He should have heeded his own warning. So far, there's no indication as to why Krzyzewski decided to grant Lesley Visser the interview, but I'd wager that it's the last one he'll be doing for a while. It may not have had any affect on his team's preparation but it's certainly a coincidence he won't want to test out again.

Now the tournament really begins! :bounce: :party:

9. Even The Refs Could Not Save Them. Even Though They Tried Like Hell To Do So.

There was a stretch in the 2nd half when every time a Duke player just entered the lane, they called a foul.
