Michigan State coach Tom Izzo's 13-year-old son, Steven, couldn't bring himself to pick his dad's team to beat Duke when filling out his NCAA tournament bracket. Smart kid. In a game billed not only as a battle of coaching legends but of Duke's adept perimeter shooting versus Michigan State's toughness and interior play, the Blue Devil way won Friday night 71-61 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Duke guard Seth Curry made six of his first seven 3-point attempts and had 23 points with 17 minutes left in the game when Izzo called timeout to work out a better plan for guarding the senior sharpshooter. Curry's marksmanship kept the Spartans at bay each time they pulled close through the first 30 minutes.
