EAST LANSING, Mich. — Joanne P. McCallie squatted on the sideline, staring in disbelief as her top-seeded Duke Blue Devils fell apart in an arena where she was once adored.

Michigan State fans came to boo their former coach.

They ended up cheering as loud as they have in years, witnessing a rare second-round upset against a woman who bolted for her dream job two years ago.

Mia Johnson scored a season-high 17 points and Lauren Aitch had 15, lifting the ninth-seeded Spartans to a 63-49 win last night over mighty Duke.

"It was never about playing Coach P. It was all about us," Michigan State forward Aisha Jefferson said. "A lot of people just look at the name 'Duke' and that's the end of the game right there."

Duke (27-6) didn't make a shot in the last 7 1/2 minutes as it was outscored 16-2.

"I was just trying to focus on us getting stops and scores," said McCallie, who led the Spartans to the 2005 championship game. "And, we didn't get either."

In more than a decade, the only top-seeded team to lose in the second round was Ohio State in 2006 against eighth-seeded Boston College.

Michigan State (22-10) will face the winner of the Iowa State-Ball State game Saturday in the semifinals of the Berkeley Regional.
