Tennessee won easily with their dominance inside. Gwen Jackson, who has been up and down through the year, now seems unstoppable. Even for a good shooting team like 'Nova, it just isn't possible to overcome a 38-17 rebounding deficit.

Duke survived again. It wasn't pretty. The Devils' offense (aside from Beard, who scored half of their points) was spotty, but their defense was tough. Grant, after getting schooled by Beard early, made a great effort in the second half. Pierson played so hard, but the missed free throws at the end were a killer. Perkins was... um... where was Perkins?

Kudos to the New Mexico fans for showing up and cheering (so loud!) even though the Lobos weren't part of the game. Wish I could say the same for Stanford fans.

Duke-Tennessee will be crazy.
