Live updates: Michigan State finding its touch on 3-pointers

It has become a 3-point fest between MIchigan State and Duke, but the Blue Devils maintain a 31-27 lead with 2:43 left in the first half.

The Spartans, who hit a shooting lull, have found life again and made their last four field-goal attempts, including the last three on 3-pointers.

MSU's Jaden Akins started the 3-point flurry with five minutes left to pull Michigan State to 25-21. Duke answered with a 3-pointer, MSU's Gabe Brown hit from 3 (eight points, two 3-pointers), and after a Duke 3-pointer, Marcus Bingham answered with another 3.

Duke powers, Michigan State shooting slips
