I whiua e Duke a Gonzaga 66-52 i te Ratapu, i hoatu ai ki te kaiako o Blue Devils a Mike Krzyzewski tana haerenga 12 ki te haurua whakamutunga o te whakataetae poitūkohu NCAA a nga taane. I eke a Justise Winslow rāua ko Matt Jones ki te 16 hei āwhina i a Duke ki te wikitōria i te Rohe ki te Tonga. Ko Gonzaga, e arahi ana i nga tohu 16 mai i a Kyle Wiltjer, e tumanako ana kia eke ki tana haerenga tuatahi ki te Whā Whakamutunga. Anei te āhua o te Whā Whakamutunga, ka whakatangihia ki Indianapolis: Hei te Rāhoroi e whai ake nei, ka tūtaki a Duke ki a Michigan State i te haurua whakamutunga tuatahi. I te kēmu e whai ake nei, ka whawhai a Kentucky ki a Wisconsin. Ka tutaki nga toa i te Mane, Paenga-whāwhā 6, mō te whakataetae ā-motu. Kotahi atu kēmu whakataetae i purei i te Ratapu. I wikitoria a Michigan State i a Louisville 76-70 i te wa roa ki te wikitoria i te Rohe ki te Rawhiti. Ko te wikitoria he whakawātea reka mō ngā Spartans, nāna i whai wā ki runga, ki raro hoki, ā, i tae mai ki te Rohe ki te Rāwhiti hei tauwhāinga No. 7. Ko tēnei te whitu o ngā whiringa toa a te kaiako a Tom Izzo, nāna i ārahi a Michigan State ki te taitara ā motu i te tau 2000. E whā ngā toa a Krzyzewski i te kapa Duke, koia te kapa tuatahi i te Rohe ki te Tonga.
