    A ninth straight Sweet 16 berth is in the books, and the Blue Devils still have everything to play for. According to the Duke master plan, the Devils are only one-third of the way through this dance. A Final Four would feel good, but a national title is the only outcome that would feel great. For seniors J.J. Redick and Shelden Williams, failure is not an option.

    It took a tremendous clutch shot from Darrel Mitchell just to get the Tigers this far, but now comes the big chance. Beating Duke would make LSU's season and would qualify as the program's biggest victory since it went to the 1986 Final Four as a fairy-tale No. 11 seed. Anything after an upset of Duke would be considered gravy.
