ACC Championship Game
No. 1 Duke vs. No. 13 Louisville, 8:30 p.m. ET on March 15
Duke 74, North Carolina 71
The Blue Devils initially appeared to be cruising towards a spot in the ACC title game, leading by as many as 24 points in the second half. The Tar Heels responded shortly after, cutting the deficit to a mere one point with 32 seconds left in the game.
After Duke guard Tyrese Proctor missed the first free throw of a one-and-one that could have potentially extended the team's lead to three, North Carolina forward Ven-Allen Lubin was fouled with four seconds remaining.
Lubin missed the first free throw before making the second to initially tie the game, but the final foul shot was waived off due to a lane violation by Jae'Lyn Withers.
The Blue Devils hit a pair of free throws to extend their lead to three and a last-second shot from the Tar Heels was off.
With Flagg out, freshman guard Kon Knueppel stepped up for Duke. Knueppel scored a team-high 17 points, shooting 5-of-11 from the field and hitting three of his five attempts from behind the arc.
Duke will now attempt to win its second ACC tournament title in three seasons, while North Carolina's March Madness future is in serious jeopardy.
Louisville 76, Clemson 73
The contest initially didn't appear as if it would come down to the wire, as Louisville held an 11-point lead with just over two minutes remaining in the second half.
Clemson stormed back to trail by a mere two points with 58 seconds left and had a chance to tie or take the lead, but a layup from senior guard Chase Hunter was blocked by Cardinals guard Aboubacar Traore.
Terrence Edwards and J'Vonne Hadley led the way for Louisville offensively. Edwards finished with 21 points and eight rebounds, while Hadley recorded 20 points on 6-of-9 shooting.
Clemson struggled to consistently score against the Cardinals, shooting just 39 percent from the field as a team.
Louisville now enters the ACC title clash riding an 11-game win streak.
