Top-Seeded Duke Faces Louisville in ACC Championship Without Star Cooper Flagg

Duke seeks its 23rd ACC title while Louisville aims for its first in a highly anticipated matchup in Charlotte.

The No. 1 Duke Blue Devils (30-3) take on the No. 13 Louisville Cardinals (27-6) in the ACC Championship at 8:30 PM ET at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Duke will be without freshman standout Cooper Flagg, who is sidelined with a left ankle injury sustained earlier in the tournament.
Louisville is led by senior guard Chucky Hepburn and Terrence Edwards Jr., the latter averaging 24 points per game over his last five outings.
Both teams narrowly advanced from their semifinal games, with Duke edging out North Carolina 74-71 and Louisville holding off Clemson 76-73.
Duke won the regular-season matchup against Louisville 76-65, and a victory tonight could solidify their bid for the NCAA Tournament's overall No. 1 seed.
