Creighton vs. Duke; Miami vs Illinois: LIVE NCAA Tournament Scores, Updates

LIVE: Duke vs. Creighton

In the final two games of the round of 32, a pair of No. 2 seeds out of the ACC look to book places in the Sweet 16. Both will face seventh-seeded teams with other plans.

Standing between No. 2 Duke and the regional semifinal is Doug McDermott and No. 7 Creighton. Nicknamed "Dougie McBuckets," the prolific forward notched 27 points an 11 rebounds as his Bluejays topped a physical Cincinnati squad in the second round. Will Duke be able to contain the versatile 6'8" scorer?

In their opening game of the tournament, Coach K's Blue Devils withstood a solid challenge from No. 15 Albany. Ultimately, the Great Danes could not keep pace with Duke's offense.

In the second game of the doubleheader at the Erwin Center in Austin, the team that bested Duke for the ACC regular-season and tournament titles, Miami, faces No. 7 Illinois. The Hurricanes, who dominated No. 15 Pacific in the second round, are coached by Jim Larranaga, who piloted George Mason to the Final Four in 2006. Shane Larkin and Miami will have to limit Brandon Paul, who struggled from the field in the second round against Colorado yet still managed 17 points.

Will it be a good night for the ACC or will it be seventh-seed heaven for the underdogs?
