Duke's Isaiah Evans led the team to an 80-75 win over St. John's in the Elite Eight, securing a place in the next round of the tournament. Evans, who scored 25 points on a 25-11-15 shooting, was instrumental in the victory. His performance late in the game, which included a 3-pointer and a vicious dunk, was a highlight of the team's victory. Despite a broken foot, Foster returned to play despite initially missing seven minutes of practice due to the injury. The victory sends Duke to the Elite 8. The team's reaction to the game was largely praised by their teammates, including Cameron Boozer and Cayden Boozer.
