Duke wins ACC title, secures likely No. 1 seed

The Duke Blue Devils won their 23rd ACC tournament title, defeating the Louisville Cardinals 73-62. This victory likely secures them the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, marking their first double title win since 2006. Duke finished the season with a 31-3 record and a 19-1 ACC record. They achieved this success without star forward Cooper Flagg, who missed the semifinal and championship games due to an ankle injury but is expected to return for the NCAA Tournament. Duke's center, Maliq Brown, also faced injury concerns after re-injuring his shoulder during the quarterfinals. His status, along with Flagg's health, will be crucial as the team prepares for the upcoming tournament.
