Duke basketball will be the No. 2 seed in the upcoming ACC Tournament.
The Blue Devils had a chance to share the regular-season conference title with rival North Carolina if they won on Saturday (and a few other tiebreakers broke their way), but the Tar Heels left Cameron Indoor with an 84-79 win to clinch the ACC outright.
Duke finishes the 2023-24 regular season with a 24-7 overall record and a 15-5 record against ACC opponents, both second in the conference to the Tar Heels.
The Blue Devils, as one of the top four seeds in the conference, get a double bye straight to the tournament quarterfinals, so they won’t know their initial opponent for a few days yet.
The tournament starts on Tuesday, with Duke’s first game coming on Thursday.
