The Wisconsin Badgers looked like the team destined to win the trophy for a lot of the game, but the Blue Devils came through in crunch time to walk away with a 68-63 win. If you thought Duke was going to win, they probably didn’t win in the fashion you would have expected. Jahlil Okafor and Justise Winslow were the two stars carrying Duke all season long, but they were held in check against Wisconsin and combined for only 21 points (44 percent shooting) and 12 rebounds.
It was their teammates Tyus Jones and Grayson Allen who propelled the team with their combined 39 points (57 percent shooting) and seven rebounds.
It was definitely a game worth reliving, and now Duke has released an epic video on the national championship win.
Some people who really hate the college basketball system question how much the players really care about their short stay in college. Well, this video should be played for anyone who thinks like that. Okafor has been one of the top NBA prospects all season and everyone knew he was a one-and-done player, and yet he had tears streaming down his face at the end of the video. Sure, some of these guys only stay at a university for a short year, but that one year can mean the world to them.
One last time, congratulations Duke.
