The ACC basketball regular season is over, and just like last year, Jon Scheyer and Duke came away with the title, ending the season 17-1 in conference play and 29-2 overall, earning the No. 1 ranking in both polls entering tournament play.
As the No. 1 seed, the Blue Devils earned a double-bye in the tournament, not taking the court until Thursday night when they play the winner of the matchup between No. 8-seed Florida State and No. 9-seed California.

A third battle between Duke and rival North Carolina could easily come in the semi-finals if both teams win on Thursday night, with that game scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET in Charlotte. The Tar Heels won the first game this season on a Seth Trimble three-pointer at the buzzer in Chapel Hill, but Cameron Boozer and the Blue Devils got revenge this past Saturday, blowing past Hubert Davis’ squad 76-61 in a game that wasn’t as close as the scoreboard says.
Scheyer has won two ACC Tournament titles in his first three years and will be looking for a third as the Blue Devils look to overcome an injury to guard Caleb Foster and repeat as champions for the first time since 2011, when they finished a three-peat under Mike Krzyzewski.
