7th-seeded Duke rallies from 16-point 1st-half deficit to upset No. 2 Ohio State
Reigan Richardson scored 28 points and added seven rebounds as No. 7 seed Duke rallied from a 16-point first-half deficit to beat No. 2 seed Ohio State 75-63 on Sunday in Columbus, Ohio, and earn a spot in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2008.
Richardson hit a three-pointer from the wing to put Duke up 59-57 with 5:21 left. That sparked a 13-2 run by the Blue Devils that began to put the game out of reach.
Ashlon Jackson scored 13 points and Taina Mair added 11 for the Blue Devils (22-11), who move on to Portland, Oregon, to play next weekend against the winner of Syracuse and UConn.
