Duke basketball

Duke basketball recruiting prize Caleb Foster broke a 42-year-old with his prolific scoring performance in his team's state championship win on Friday ...

At 8:30 p.m. Saturday, No. 4-seed Duke and No. 2-seed Virginia meet to cap a wild week in Greensboro Coliseum in the ACC tournament final.

Neither of its conference tournament opponents has topped 60 points, and while Duke is currently a better offensive team, averaging 90.5 points in its two postseason contests, the Cavaliers know how to shut down the Blue Devils' top weapons. The Blue Devils of right now are a great basketball team, but Virginia is downright scary. Games like this are part tactics and part personnel, naturally, but I feel like there is something in the air for these Blue Devils right now that pushes them over the edge. Virginia is a strong team, but they have been challenged in their prior two matchups and have not put together a stretch of really solid games in some time now. The perfect time to be locked in on that end of the floor is when facing Virginia, and not just because of the Cavaliers’ pack line defense but because the stakes in this one just feel so high: Virginia is one of two ACC teams the Blue Devils have yet to beat and head coach Jon Scheyer’s Blue Devils have been hungry for revenge against this team for weeks. In the end, Duke keeps it rolling by the skin of its teeth, thanks to stellar play and clutch buckets from Tyrese Proctor and Jeremy Roach. Yet, the Blue Devils still lost at the last second on a questionable call that the ACC later admitted was wrong. A month ago, I thought Virginia was one of the five teams most likely to win it all in Houston. Virginia is a solid team, but Duke’s peak is higher than the Cavaliers’, so the Blue Devils are going to check this last box off on their late-season revenge tour. The eight-game win streak is certainly convincing regarding Duke’s ability to take down quality opponents, and I think the ACC championship will still be a grind-it-out game, but it feels like this one will end with the confetti falling on the Blue Devils. In their now eight-game win streak, they have had the chance to redeem themselves against the opponents that have dealt them their worst losses.

And we did - from Virginia. Clemson could not stop the 'Hoos, though, as the Cavs just picked the Tigers apart in the lane, winning 76-56. Virginia hit 15 shots ...

He talked about his love of Syracuse and how he looked forward to joining the fans in the stands. It might not be a popular hire in the city, but Cragg knows Capel very well. It’d serve Clemson right if the Tigers made the field and Brownell did well and boogied on out of town. We also heard mention of Pitt’s Jeff Capel being mentioned for the Georgetown job that opened up Friday when Patrick Ewing was fired. A former Skip Prosser assistant at Wake Forest, Kelsey knows the league and he’s done very well. If the narrative is to be believed, Boeheim just couldn’t quite talk about retirement after the Wake Forest loss, though he apparently did discuss it with his team. Brad Brownell is an outstanding defensive coach and he has an experienced team that just blew the doors off of NC State on Thursday. The duo combined for 12 points and nine rebounds to help make up for his absence. His career record is 360-85 and that works out to .809. That was probably inevitable, but Tech’s sharp late-season improvement should have given the university some pause. Senior Jayden Gardner, a native of Wake Forest, shot 10-15, almost all of it coming in the lane. So now we have a finals with Duke and Virginia.

Earlier on, a personal foul going for a rebound over Virginia’s Francisco Caffaro led to a quick exchange of some words and a rest on the bench, but his stay was not long. A 3-pointer with 12:45 on the clock was good to help re-establish some separation, and his presence on the boards was crucial as ever against a physical team where every possession matters. Turnovers put some pressure on the Blue Devils early in Friday’s semifinal against Miami, as several bad passes led to the Hurricanes controlling the game late in the first half. The 7-foot freshman has put himself in the running for the tournament’s premier player honors with his first two outings, but his third — with 11 points and five rebounds — may be just what Duke needs to put itself over the top and claim the title when it is all said and done. Duke is going for its first title since 2019 while Virginia is shooting for its first since 2018 and Cavaliers’ head coach Tony Bennett is aiming to become the eighth coach to win the tournament three times. Of course, both Duke and Virginia are playing for ACC championship honors and neither is at risk of losing a spot in the NCAA tournament field.

For the first time in four years, Duke basketball has won an ACC Tournament championship. The Blue Devils never trailed against Virginia.

In its rout of Clemson, Virginia scored 40 points in the paint. He’s the first person to win tournament MVP (2009) and coach a team to a title. The freshman turned things up in Duke’s first two games. It’s the ninth time Duke has raised a trophy in Greensboro. His 15 double-double performances leads all Division I freshmen [After a controversial loss at Virginia in February](https://www.fayobserver.com/story/sports/college/acc/2023/02/11/what-duke-basketball-coach-jon-scheyer-said-about-officiating-in-loss-to-virginia/69892303007/), the 21st-ranked Blue Devils (26-8) had ample motivation and never trailed against the 14th-ranked Cavaliers (25-7).

The Blue Devils took the first lead and never looked back, winning the ACC tournament behind the combined strength of Jeremy Roach and Kyle Filipowski, ...

Filipowski continued his torrid stretch early Friday night, burying a wing three with 12:45 to play in the first to give Duke its largest lead yet and ignite an 11-point first half. When the halftime buzzer sounded, the Blue Devils headed to the locker room with a 24-17 lead. But it was Duke that took the early lead, pushing the pace where it could to score the contest’s first six points before Franklin’s corner 3-pointer put the Cavaliers on the board at the 16:40 mark. The free throw to follow made it 52-43 Blue Devils with 2:38 on the clock, putting an unofficial seal on the Blue Devils’ monumental win. But as Virginia quickened its scoring pace, Roach kept the Blue Devils ahead by connecting on a pair of early threes, including one from the corner to give his team its largest lead at 36-22. Head coach Jon Scheyer now stands atop the ACC after his first season in the league, and the Blue Devils, with nine straight wins to their name, enter the NCAA tournament as perhaps the hottest team in the country.
