Down by 13 with 7:37 to play, Duke staged a massive comeback over the next five minutes, tying the game at 70 on a jumper by Bagley. But, a dunk by Roach on the ensuing possession and huge block by Bamba kept it a two-point game for Texas.

Duke had a chance to win it, but Bagley settled for a long range three that was off target.

Texas began the game like a team not afraid of the moment. After a quick bucket by Duke to begin the game, the Longhorns responded with a 12-2 run over the next three minutes to seize control.

Using Smart's patented pressure defense, the Longhorns forced the Blue Devils into playing faster than they would've preferred. The speed of the game allowed Texas to force seven turnovers in the opening half.

Trailing throughout the half led to Allen trying to force the issue for Duke. He played out of control, resulting in three first half fouls that limited him to seven minutes. As Allen sat on the bench, Bagley III also tried to pick up the slack, resulting in two first half fouls for himself.

With Duke's two stars out, Jones and Roach went to work for Texas. They attacked the basket often, either drawing a foul or finding others for open shots. They combined for 20 first half points, shooting 3-for-7 from beyond the arc and going 5-of-6 from the line.
