Jayson Tatum was one of the many Duke supporters who was elated as the Blue Devils won their NCAA Sweet 16 battle against the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

After 40 excruciating minutes of basketball, it was the #2 Duke Blue Devils who managed to grab a huge 78-73 win over the #3 Texas Tech Red Raiders in their NCAA Sweet 16 clash.

Bryson Williams and Kevin Obanor had incredible performances for the Red Raiders, putting up a 21-point outing and a 10-point double-double, respectively. However, they were outperformed by Paolo Banchero, who had a solid 22/4/4 game playing 37 minutes of the clash.
