Duke, Arkansas are playing for a trip to the Final Four

Arkansas, the fourth seed in the region, took down 13th-seeded Vermont in a tight 75-71 victory. In the Round of 32, Arkansas won another close game against 12th-seeded New Mexico State, winning 53-48. Duke took down 7th-seeded Michigan State 85-76.

In the Sweet 16, both teams faced tough matchups. Duke went up against 3rd-seeded Texas Tech and escaped with a 78-73 victory. Arkansas faced off against Gonzaga, the top overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, and walked away with a 74-68 win.

The winner of Saturday’s game will face the winner of 8th-seeded North Carolina and 15th-seeded Saint Peter’s in the Final Four.
