GREENVILLE, S.C. — The Duke Blue Devils are Sweet 16 bound. 

Duke withstood Michigan State's second half push to come away with the 85-76 win in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. 

The Blue Devils, ranked No. 2 in the West bracket, will meet the winner of Notre Dame and Texas Tech in the Sweet 16. 

Duke freshman Paolo Banchero scored 19 points and muscled in the go-ahead drive through contact with 2:05 left, putting the Blue Devils ahead to stay in the record-extending 1,200th win of Krzyzewski’s career.
