If there is one team in college basketball that most fans probably want to see suffer an early defeat, it’s Duke. There’s never anything wrong with watching the Blue Devils go down, even when it means a stand-up guy like Bob Huggins advances.

The first team to officially advance into the Sweet 16 is the West Virginia Mountaineers by way of their 73-67 victory over Coach K and his Dukies.

Duke held a five point lead at half but were outscored 44-33 in the second half. West Virginia will move on to play the winner of the the Purdue-Xavier game to be played at 5:02 EST.
