So this is Duke's first Final 4 appearance since 2004. I actually thought it had been longer than that. Looking it up that team had Duhon, Deng, Reddick, Shelden Williams, Daniel Ewing and Shavlick Randolph. They lost by 1 pt to eventual national champion UCONN, the Ben Gordon/Emeka Okafor/Villanueva team.
I can't believe I don't remember that.
This is Michigan State's 3rd Final 4 appearance in the last 6 years and 6th out of 11. Very impressive.
