Duke returned to the NCAA men's tournament finals for the first time in nine years Saturday night, taking out West Virginia 78-57. It's an incredible comeback for the team everybody loves to hate, which had not made a Final Four appearance in six years.
Duke was paced by Jon Scheyer while the Mountaineers had to contend with the loss of star Da'Sean Butler after he suffered an injury midway through the second half.
The much-ballyhooed Duke program will be going up against Butler, a midmajor school playing in its hometown. Butler defeated Michigan State 52-50 on Saturday behind a Gordon Hayward basket with two seconds left to seal the victory.
Duke is the only No. 1 seed to advance to the Final Four, while Butler entered the NCAA tournament as a No. 5 seed. The two will square off Monday, April 5, at 9:21 p.m.
This March Madness has been notable for its unpredictable bracket, and it will end with an unbelievable matchup.
