#705 - Duke Hangs On Against UNC, Prepares for ACC Tournament Title Game

The Duke Blue Devils survive another one in the ACC Tournament after a 74-71 win over the UNC . We recap everything and preview the ACC Tournament Final on Episode 705. It was a tale of two halves in Charlotte, as Donald and Jason recap what was an amazing first half from the Blue Devils. Lots of great play by some unsung heroes, from Pat Ngongba and Khaman Maluach to Isaiah Evans to Kon Knueppel and Sion James. There was a lot of great play in the first half, including some hustle plays that proved to be the difference. The second half was not as great, as Duke almost saw a 24 point lead turn into a UNC win. Thankfully, Jae’Lyn Withers’ lane violation at the end helped Duke escape. Next up is the ACC Tournament Final, and Duke will face the Louisville Cardinals . They have played tremendously well since we last faced them on December 8th, the first ACC game of the season for both teams. It’s somewhat fitting that the final ACC game of the season pits these two teams together for the title. We preview that game and what to watch for when the teams tip off tonight.
