No. 1 seed Duke defeated No. 2 seed Virginia 74-70 on Saturday to win its second consecutive ACC Tournament title. With the win, the Blue Devils are now in line to earn the No. 1 overall seed in the 2026 NCAA Tournament when the bracket is unveiled Sunday on CBS.
The Blue Devils will remain the No. 1 overall seed in CBS Sports Bracketology entering Selection Sunday despite a strong push from Michigan and Arizona.
Duke star Cameron Boozer, the presumptive Naismith National Player of the Year, finished with just 13 points on 3-of-17 shooting while struggling against Virginia big man Ugonna Onyenso’s length on the interior. But his twin brother, Cayden Boozer, stepped up and finished with 16 points, five rebounds and four assists.
This game was a back-and-forth affair that featured 16 lead changes. Malik Thomas led Virginia with 18 points while Sam Lewis added 17. Virginia is expected to remain a No. 3 seed in CBS Sports’ Bracketology despite the loss.
