NCAA Tournament Round of 32 Preview: Michigan State vs. Duke

We’ve come to it at last — the final meeting between Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo and the legendary Duke head coach, Mike Krzyzewski, will take place on the grandest stage that college basketball has to offer. A lot will be made about the men on the sidelines, but just like in many of the previous meetings between these two powerhouses, the game itself will offer plenty of exciting storylines as well.

No. 7 Michigan State, for its part, will enter the game happy that the Spartans were able to survive first-round foe Davidson, and will now look to thrive in the role of the underdog against No.
