With Selection Sunday<\/a> almost here and March Madness<\/a> right around the corner, it\u2019s crunch time in conference tournaments around the country.<\/p>\n

Duke is the No. 1 ranked team in the nation, but is in Charlotte for the ACC tournament with a few question marks after late-season injuries to Caleb Foster and Patrick Ngongba II.<\/p>\n

The Blue Devils eked out a win over Florida State on Thursday and didn\u2019t look much like a title contender, but they handled Clemson in the semifinals on Friday. As long as national player of the year frontrunner Cameron Boozer is suiting up for Duke, they\u2019re likely to be favored. He\u2019s been a monster this season, averaging 22.7 points and 10.2 rebounds per game.<\/p>\n

Sam Lewis has 17 points for Virginia, including 13 in the second half, and Duke can\u2019t seem to find consistent offense. It\u2019s tied 58-58 with 7:45 to play.<\/p>\n

Virginia in amid a scoring drought of more than 4 minutes, but the defense of Ugonna Onyenso (7 blocks so far!!) is keeping it close.<\/p>\n

Cayden Boozer\u2019s surprising surge is the story of the first half. He has 14 points while his twin brother Cam has just 2.<\/p>\n

These teams are going back and forth. Cayden Boozer\u2019s 12 points has led Duke to a 24-23 lead at the 6:48 mark of the first half.<\/p>\n

Cam Boozer is still scoreless and 0 of 4 from the field.<\/p>\n

Neither team is scoring much right now. The leading scorer of the game so far is Cayden Boozer (yes, he\u2019s the lesser known Boozer twin) with 7 points.<\/p>\n

Virginia leads 14-13 at the under-12 timeout.<\/p>\n

The Cavaliers have been red hot from 3-point range in the ACC tournament so far, hitting 23 of 51 (45%) tries from deep in wins over NC State and Miami.<\/p>\n

Can they keep it going tonight against Duke?<\/p>\n

Cameron Boozer has scored 23 and 24 points in Duke\u2019s two ACC tournament wins this week. Will he put up another big game tonight against Virginia?<\/p>\n

We\u2019re about 30 minutes away from the ACC final tipping off in Charlotte.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s No. 1 seed Duke vs. No. 2 Virginia.<\/p>\n

Duke has a chance to claim the NCAA tournament overall No. 1 seed with a win while Virginia is looking to spoil the party and potentially move up a seed line.<\/p>\n

Fri, March 13, 2026 at 8:43 PM PDT<\/p>\n

Yahoo Sports Staff<\/p>\n

The Blue Devils move on to the ACC title game and will face Virginia on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Cameron Boozer packed the stat sheet as he always does. He finished with 24 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists.<\/p>\n

Perhaps more importantly, Duke got a career-high out of Cayden Boozer with 16 points. The latter is going to be vital in the NCAA tournament after starting guard Caleb Foster suffered a potentially season-ending foot injury last week.<\/p>\n

The Duke star averages 23 points and 10 rebounds and he has 19 and 12 with six minutes still left in the game. The big man can also dish; he has five assists as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With Selection Sunday almost here and March Madness right around the corner, it\u2019s crunch time in conference tournaments…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":536499,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[266107,251105,64,63,726,110371,22566,73337,3372,262895,90853,57045,3509,85,4899],"class_list":["post-541110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-basketball","tag-acc-mens-basketball-tournament","tag-acc-tournament","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-basketball","tag-caleb-foster","tag-cameron-boozer","tag-charlotte","tag-clemson","tag-conference-tournaments","tag-duke","tag-florida-state","tag-question-marks","tag-sports","tag-virginia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=541110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541110\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/536499"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=541110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=541110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=541110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
