No. 1 Duke looks to complete regular-season roll by adding ACC Tournament title

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 men’s college basketball poll is back every week throughout the season! And had the Blue Devils lost, they would’ve ended up in a three-way tie for the regular-season crown with Louisville and Clemson — then slid all the way to the 3-seed. The Cardinals hadn’t reached 20 wins since the COVID-19 pandemic, winning just 12 games over the past two seasons under Kenny Payne while losing 35 of 40 league regular-season games. Steady winners Clemson is the 3-seed, the latest strong season in Brad Brownell’s sustained success coming after last year’s trip to the NCAA Elite Eight. Reigning champion N.C. State didn’t make the cut, a remarkable crashout after last year’s improbable run that included winning five games in five days to claim its first ACC title since 1987, followed by the program reaching its first Final four since 1983.
