Duke hit 7-of-8 free throws in the final 40 seconds, which held the lead and gave coach Mike Krzyzewski his 42nd tournament win, matching Louisville's Denny Crum for third on the all-time list.
Duke once again faced a hostile crowd at Rupp Arena. Fans loudly booed Krzyezewski, who suggested at the start of the week that his team deserved to be somewhere other than Lexington.
They also booed point guard Steve Wojciechowski every time he touched the ball after he and Oklahoma State point guard Doug Gottlieb got tangled up and shoved each other while going for a loose ball midwain through the first half.

Coach Eddie Sutton chose to slow down his offense — one of the best in his eight seasons at Oklahoma State — and the Blue Devils were unable to shake loose.
