Duke, ranked No. 1, won the Atlantic Coast Conference title by defeating No. 13 Louisville 73-62. This marks Duke's second championship in three years, despite being without star player Cooper Flagg due to an ankle injury. Tyrese Proctor led Duke with 19 points, while Kon Knueppel and Sion James contributed 18 and 15 points, respectively. Duke's strong second-half performance included a 12-0 run that secured their lead. Louisville, under first-year coach Pat Kelsey, had a successful season but struggled with foul trouble in the second half. The Cardinals had previously lost only once since December.
