NCAA Basketball Tournament 2011



If it was not until the late game series, it is probably today. In what can only be described as "shocking" the fifth-seeded Arizona Wildcats beat top-seeded Duke Blue Devils, and he was not close.

At halftime, Duke led by six points, and when the final buzzer sounded, they were down 16. The defending champion could not keep pace with Arizona shooting white hot, and project performance top pick Derrick Williams likely.

Williams, the sophomore sensation, had 32 points, 13 rebounds, three steals and two assists and a block in the win for Arizona. The big man was 5-6 beyond the arc, and absolutely unstoppable all game.

But he did not do it alone.

LaMont "Mo Mo" Jones has 16 points and six assists for the Wildcats, and made some huge shots in the second half of their race when they finally took the lead of the duke, and then when they took it for good.

Freshman sensation Kyrie Irving led the Blue Devils with 28 points and Kyle Singler senior contributed 18 of his own. Nolan Smith was only 3-14 on the ground, and simply could not find his shot all night.

Arizona will take UConn for a trip to the Final Four.
