NCAA Tournament: Michigan State beats No. 1 Duke, advances to Final Four


In a thriller, Michigan State defeated Duke on Sunday night 68-67, advancing to the Final Four of the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
During the final minute of the highly anticipated game, senior Kenny Goins put the No. 2 Spartans ahead of the No. 1 Blue Devils, and Duke was unable to catch up. Michigan State last made the Final Four in 2015.
