Who wants it more?

This is a very important question. Has Georgia Tech clinched a Tournament berth? Has Duke clinched a number 1 seed? The answers to both these questions might be answered in the ACC championship game tomorrow. Georgia Tech has beaten both Maryland, and NC State in down to the wire games in this tournament. Both NC State and Maryland have beaten Duke, and so has Georgia Tech (all on the road). So the Blue Devils might have a hard game, but I think the big three will explode. and the Plumlees and Zoubek will block shots and get good rebounds to lead Duke to the win. My score prediction, Duke 73,Georgia Tech 59. duke_blue_devils.JPG.jpg VS.georgia_tech.jpg

Duke-Miami ACC Tournament SemiFinals Score and HighLights

Duke 77 Miami 74        GREENSBORO, N.C. -Kyle Singler  scored 27 points to help fourth-ranked Duke push ahead in the second half to beat Miami 77-74 in Saturday's Atlantic Coast Conference tournament semifinals. Jon Scheyer added 16 points, including eight in the go-ahead 15-0 run early in the second half that restored some sense of order in an upset-filled tournament. The top-seeded Blue Devils (28-5) trailed by three at halftime against the league's last-place team before rallying to reach the championship game, where they will defend their title against the winner of the North Carolina State-Georgia Tech semifinal later Saturday.

       The Miami Hurricanes put up a 15 to 2 run at the end of the first half to take the lead by 3. But the very angry Coach K (Dukes Head Coach) must have got into the Dukes players head, Coach K didn't want the number 1 seed to lose to the number 12 seed (Miami). So Duke answered with a 15 to nothing run mid way through the 2nd half. But near the end the Hurricanes brought it back with in under 10 with a minute left in regulation. Duke should have won by 6 but Miami hit a 3 pointer to end the 2nd half and brought Duke victory to only 3. Duke is now going to the ACC tournament Championship, hoping to take there 18th victory in that game, and surpassing UNC for most of all time. LETS GO DUKE!!!
