After trailing by as many as 14 in the first half, top-seeded Duke outlasted Georgia Tech, but the Blue Devils lost two key players to serious injuries in the process.

Each program has won five ACC Tournament titles in Charlotte, with the Blue Devils beating the Tar Heels in the 2019 semifinals before cutting down the nets at Spectrum Center. Duke rallied from a 14-point deficit to beat Georgia Tech in Thursday’s quarterfinals, but the Blue Devils could be without two of their top players against UNC.
