How It Works
Texas Tech Red Raiders vs Duke Blue Devils — Sweet 16, March 24, 2022
73–78Sweet Sixteen
About This Game
In a tightly contested Sweet Sixteen matchup, Duke's free throw prowess proved decisive against a resilient Texas Tech squad. The Red Raiders controlled the floor with superior field goal making (25 made FGs to Duke's 21) and dominated the glass with a 36-31 rebounding advantage, yet found themselves on the wrong side of a 5-point final margin. The difference lay at the charity stripe: Duke's 15 made free throws dwarfed Tech's 5, a 10-point swing that ultimately decided the contest. Both teams traded three-pointers with nearly equal efficiency (Duke 7, Tech 6), and both struggled with turnovers in a game decided by execution rather than talent. In tournament basketball, free throw shooting is a luxury that separates advancing teams from going home. Duke converted their opportunities and survived Tech's shooting efficiency to claim a 78-73 victory. This Sweet Sixteen classic is now available as a Gameprint—visualizing every shot, every possession, and the momentum shifts that defined this tournament thriller.
