Wisconsin and Duke battled for the entire 40 minutes. The Badgers' Frank Kaminsky posted 21 points and 12 rebounds for the Badgers, who were playing in the school's first championship title game since 1941.
The game was tied at the half 31-31, the first NCAA championship halftime tie since 1988, and the Badgers came out strong in the second half. But Duke's Allen reignited his team's momentum, first by diving for a ball, then with a lay-up and additional free throw that brought the Blue Devil's within three points, 48-45.
With less than seven minutes to go, Duke tied the game 54-54 and took their first lead of the half nearly two minutes later with a basket from Allen.
“We were kind of dead in the water... and Grayson just kind of put us on his back,” Krzyzewski said of Allen’s performance after the game.
Each team was relentless, handing over the lead between the next couple possessions. By 3:22, the lead had been exchanged 16 times, CBS announced.
A big play from Okafor and a shot clock violation from Wisconsin gave the Blue Devils an edge in the remaining minutes. Another rebound and basket from Okafor gave Duke a five-point lead, 63-58, with less than two minutes left.
Tensions running high, the officials reviewed an out-of-bounds possession call, ultimately giving the ball to Duke. A 3-pointer from Jones extended the lead, 66-58, but Kaminsky responded with a three of his own.
With 42 seconds left, Duke held onto a 66-63 lead as the Badgers turned to fouling their opponent. Jones sunk a pair of free throws for a 5-point lead. By then it was too late for Wisconsin.
“That’s the biggest thing about this team, we never want to let one another down,” Duke's Jones said after the game.
His sentiments were echoed by fellow freshman Jahlil Okafor.
“They had my back the entire season, and it was no different tonight,” the center said.
