Duke Basketball Favored to Beat Georgia Tech in ACC Quarterfinals

Duke Blue Devils, the No. 1 seed in the ACC Tournament and ranked first nationally, are heavily favored to win the championship, boasting a 28-3 record this season and a roster featuring standout freshman Cooper Flagg. As they prepare to face Georgia Tech in the quarterfinals, Duke aims to overcome a historical trend where the top seed has not won the tournament since 2018. Georgia Tech, coming off a victory against Virginia, is optimistic about its chances, with head coach Damon Stoudamire expressing confidence in his team's performance. The Blue Devils have dominated their opponents, winning recent games by significant margins and showcasing a strong mix of veteran leadership and youthful talent. However, potential challenges loom from teams like Clemson, which previously handed Duke its only ACC loss this season. Despite the odds, the tournament is seen as wide open, with recent performances suggesting that surprises could occur.
