The Duke Blue Devils will look to move one step closer to winning the national title this year when they take on the Utah Utes in the Sweet 16 of the 2015 NCAA Tournament on Friday at NGR Stadium in Houston, Texas.

The Blue Devils, the top-seeded team in the South Region, are coming off two consecutive blowout victories. Duke scored an 85-56 win over Robert Morris on Friday, which was followed by a 68-49 drubbing of San Diego State on Sunday to earn a spot in the Sweet 16.

Duke will once again rely on center Jahlil Okafor, who proved in their first two tournament games why he is considered as one of the favorites to become the first overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft.

Okafor finished with 21 points on 9-for-11 shooting in 21 minutes against Robert Morris, and tallied 26 points on 12-for-16 shooting against San Diego State.

On the other hand, the Utes will look to pick up from where they left off during their 75-64 upset win against fourth-seeded Georgetown. Against the Hoyas, Brandon Taylor finished with 14 points and five assists, while Jakob Poeltl and Delon Wright added 12 points apiece for the Utes.

The winner of the Duke-Utah match will face either the second-seeded Gonzaga Bulldogs or 11th-seeded UCLA Bruins in the final eight.

The Bulldogs and Bruins are also scheduled to face each other on Friday. Gonzaga earned a spot in the Sweet 16 with an 87-68 blowout win against Iowa Hawkeyes on Sunday, while UCLA advanced to the fourth round with a 92-75 victory against UAB Blazers on Saturday.

The Gonzaga-UCLA showdown will start at 7:15 p.m. ET to be followed by the Duke-Utah game at 9:45 p.m. ET. Both Sweet 16 games will be shown live on CBS.

Meanwhile, in the East Region, the third-seeded Oklahoma Sooners and fourth-seeded Louisville Cardinals will look to arrange an Elite Eight matchup, but both teams are facing tough opponents on Friday.

The Sooners will go up against the Michigan State Spartans, who are coming off a huge 60-54 victory against the second-seeded Virginia Cavaliers on Sunday. On the other hand, the Cardinals will have to deal with the Wolfpack, who advanced to the Sweet 16 with a stunning 71-68 victory over top-seeded Villanova Wildcats on Saturday.

The Louisville-NC State game will begin at 7:37 p.m. EST, while the Oklahoma-Michigan State match will start at 10:07 p.m. EST. Both games will be shown live on TBS.
