South Carolina rallies past UNC Wilmington (0:44)
John Gasaway ESPN Insider
Duke survives thanks to 64 percent shooting inside the arc, and, yes, 43 free throw attempts. UNC Wilmington was foul-prone all season, and the Blue Devils exploited it to the fullest. Marshall Plumlee -- he of the 23 points on 9-of-10 shooting from the floor -- was too much for the gritty Seahawks.
John Gasaway ESPN Insider
As long as Duke-UNC Wilmington stays tight, the more Mercer comparisons you'll hear. Well, that's actually not a bad parallel. Just like in 2014 the Blue Devils are talented and high-scoring, but also thin and prone to periodic and debilitating bouts of NRDS (No Rim Defense Syndrome). And the Seahawks are about the same caliber as the Bears were two years ago.
