Wow. Wow. WOW. What a win and what a run it's been so far! Notre Dame scores it very well and is very efficient on offense, but, we might have beat the two best teams in the conference tournament the last two days. An argument could be made at least....

Onto Notre Dame. They're good. They can score the basketball. They it shoot from behind the arc and they have Bonzie Colson...That being said, we have Luke Kennard, Grayson Allen, Frank Jackson and Jayson Tatum. That's four super-star guards that make us unguardable at times and if Giles continues to emerge behind the already solid play of Amile...YIKES!

Overall, I like OUR chances!

Tonight's game is scheduled for a 9pm est tip and will air on ESPN HD.

Duke 85

Notre Dame 79

GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Announcer was right. Duke winning the ACC will be tougher than winning the National Title. Gotta give it up to ND and Duke.

I actually appreciate Bonzie. Dude is tougher than crap and reminds me of several past Duke players. With that said, we gotta defend the 3 point line!

I just gotta feeling we win this by 15+!!

The one thing that makes me most nervous about this game is their 3 point shooting. They shot 13-27 against FSU. We're definitely going to need to shoot good from 3 and keep them from shooting that good from 3 to bring home our 20tth ACC Tournament Championship.

Well the pressure is off for this team. Maybe that means the frosh will play loose. We'll need smart D today. Get em Duke.

We've figured a lot out in last few weeks, now we need to figure out to bring the intensity and fight from the opening tip! Don't want to make a habit of digging out of holes

Colson maybe 6'5, but he has Go Go Gadget arms.
I think it will be another war. There's no surrender in our guys!

It's been too long since Duke has an ACCT title. And they need to bring it home and not let ND get their 2nd in 3 years. 4 games in 4 nights. Let's do this thing.

I agree...I hate watching Duke play against him, but man I would love that guy on my team. He's like a finesseier version of Charles Barkley, who is easily my favorite non-Duke player ever.

DUKE! If we win this I think this run rivals a national title run. I'm so proud we're even here

Like the rest, must stop Colson. You really have to appreciate the kid he plays basketball but I think Duke didn't make it to the forth game with the intention of leaving empty handed or runner up.
I think this team is even surprising K. Fight boys

Both teams an absolute joy to watch at their best. Let's hope that happens tonight (at least for us).

It's been an incredible run so far. Why not finish in style?

I do love how well Duke is playing on offense. Having 4 guys scoring at the same time is huge. When defenses focus on Kennard and Allen, Jackson now has the confidence to step up and take advantage which later opens it up for Kennard or Allen. And then we all know Tatum is better than anyone at creating for his own. When his shots are falling, Duke is a scoring machine.

Duke will win this one. They are a 4.5 point favorite, and ND is getting most of the action. Just like yesterday, I like this scenario for Duke.

Duke is on a mission. They will be your 2017 ACC Champs.

This game scares me because of style of play and we haven't done so well against Brey....

I'm going to keep rolling with the mojo...I'm superstitious!

By looking at the predictions so far, at least everyone pretty much agrees this is going to be a dogfight. After beating arguably the two best teams in the ACC (and the country for that matter) on back to back days, it seems like there could be a letdown tonight. Rex and ND want Duke, and they will get their wish. My guess is Duke becomes the only ACCT team to ever win four (4) games in a row!!
Go Duke!

Also the first 5 seed to win the ACCT.
