The Duke Blue Devils did what everyone else had found impossible in the semi-finals and beat UNLV.

Despite being the underdog, Duke won late on a pair of Christian Laettner free throws and went on to beat Kansas in the title game. The Jayhawks had knocked off North Carolina 79-73 in the other semi-final, while Seton Hall had fallen 77-65 to UNLV in the West Regional Final.
