INDIANAPOLIS — A riveting title game for the ages between two No. 1 seeds played out on Monday night inside Lucas Oil Stadium.

And the 2015 championship trophy goes to Duke with a 68-63 win over Wisconsin. It gives the program and its Hall-of-Fame coach, Mike Krzyzewski, five national titles.

The win puts Coach K at second all-time for most championships in men’s basketball; UCLA legend John Wooden holds the record with 10.

The heady play of freshman guards Tyus Jones and Grayson Allen, keyed Duke to its comeback win. Jones had a game-high 23 points. Allen came out of nowhere, relatively speaking, to put up 16. The Blue Devils trailed by as many as nine points before storming back.

And two huge plays from Duke freshman big man Jahill Okafor got Duke from 59-58 to 63-58, giving the team separation it needed to avoid a threat from historically/offensively potent Wisconsin.

Wisconsin’s senior center and national player of the year, Frank Kaminsky, led his team with 21 points and a game-high 12 rebounds.

Jones hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 1:20 left to put Duke up by eight. Kaminsky was able to keep Wisconsin in it after draining a trey on the next possession, cutting it to 66-61.
