No. 11 Duke women need to avenge another loss to earn 1st ACC Tournament title in 12 years

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 women’s college basketball poll is back every week throughout the season! 11 Duke has avenged two late-season losses in two days, and the Blue Devils will need another such result to secure their first ACC Tournament championship in 12 years. “We haven’t really done anything yet but just get to the final,” Duke coach Kara Lawson said. As I like to call it, ‘March Gladness.’ It’s that time of year, and these games are too important standing alone to worry about revenge.” N.C. State overcame a 13-point deficit to beat Duke in the first meeting. “In my time at Duke, this is the first time we’ve made it this far in the tournament.” The last time Duke and N.C. State met in the final came with Duke’s 2010 victory.
