CHARLOTTE - Duke is no stranger to this situation: Facing an underdog with uncanny touch from 3-point range, one that's racing downcourt in the closing seconds, scrambling for one last shot at some NCAA tournament magic.
This time, it was Michigan's turn to miss.
Nolan Smith scored 24 points and the top-seeded Blue Devils held their breath as the Wolverines' last shot clanged off the iron, sealing a 73-71 win on Sunday that marked the 900th victory of coach Mike Krzyzewski's Hall of Fame career.
