Jeremy Roach’s drive and shot just inside the free throw line has given Duke a 54-48 lead with 1:14 to go.

Houston has had chances, but has either missed shots at the rim or turned it over on its most recent possessions.

It’s 52-48 Duke with 2:56 to go. The Blue Devils took their four-point lead on a bucket by Tyrese Proctor and he immediately stole the ball from LJ Cryer on the other end. But a travel by Mark Mitchell negated a dunk that would have given Duke a 6-point lead after Proctor’s steal.

Creighton’s not conceding. Blue Jays cut it to seven with a Baylor Scheierman and-1 to get within 62-55.

Duke calls timeout with a 48-46 lead. There’s 5:30 to go.

Houston’s J’Wan Roberts has been phenomenal over the last few minutes, but he’s just 3 of 8 from the free throw line.

Duke’s Kyle Filipowski leads all scorers with 14 points.

Madison Booker isn’t having a great game and it doesn’t matter with this Texas defense. She has more turnovers (5) than points (4) with five rebounds, two assists and three fouls.

Gonzaga is only 3-of-15 from 3-point range, which is where the Zags do most of their damage. There’s still about eight minutes left, but if the margin holds, it will be the largest of the day on the women’s side. Oregon State won by five, South Carolina by four and NC State by 10.

Duke leads Houston 45-42 with 7:29 to go. The Cougars keep hanging in without Jamal Shead. It seems highly unlikely that he’ll return to this game.

The Vols have taken over. An 18-0 run has Tennessee up 55-39, and this one might be over. Creighton’s missed six straight shots and turned the ball over twice in the run….
