Hogs in heaven; Blue Devils in charge
Carlos Boozer finishes off a dunk for Duke.
Arkansas looked NIT-bound just four days ago. Now, they're going to the Big Dance after a 75-67 upset of Auburn in the SEC final Sunday. The Razorbacks became only the sixth NCAA team to win four tournament games in four days. In the ACC, freshmen Jason Williams and Carlos Boozer combined for 44 points as Duke cemented a No. 1 seed by pulling away from Maryland 81-68 to caputre the ACC crown. In the Big Ten, Michigan State cruised past Illinois 76-61 while in the Big 12, Marcus Fizer and Iowa State dispatched Oklahoma 70-58.
