NEWARK, N.J. -- In Duke's first meeting of the season, back in the summer, there was a picture of San Antonio up on the screen. The Blue Devils wanted to get to the Final Four for the first time since Mike Krzyzewski retired, the first Final Four of the new Duke era.
"That was our main focus all year," Tyrese Proctor told ESPN earlier this week.
The top-seeded Blue Devils took the next step in the season-long quest on Saturday night, knocking off No. 2 Alabama, 85-65, to advance to next week's national semifinal in Texas.
