DUKE 67-61, FINAL: Blue Devils make their free throws when it matters, and even though Hayes can't miss in the final minute, Duke hangs on for its first ACC Tournament final since 2006. Back for more after the post-game, but in the meantime, rudimentary stats: Scheyer leads Duke with 22, Singler with 14, Smith 10, Henderson 8. Hayes has 20, Vasquez 14 for the Terps.

ATLANTA -- Eleven teams played in the Georgia Dome before Duke's players took their first shots in the football stadium, easily the biggest arena they've played in this year. The Blue Devils didn't bother coming down here until Thursday afternoon, after two games had already been played.
ATLANTA — Gerald Henderson didn't want to watch the last shot, a heave from Boston College's Rakim Sanders that would have propelled the Eagles to a quarterfinal upset had it fallen through the net.
DUKE 66-65, FINAL: Sanders misses a three at the buzzer, Duke survives. Whew. More after the locker room.

ATLANTA -- After Duke's last game against Boston College, an 80-74 loss in Chestnut Hill Feb. 15, head coach Mike Krzyzewski was prompted to shuffle up his starting lineup for the second time this season. Greg Paulus, recently promoted to the starting five in lieu of Nolan Smith, was replaced by freshman Elliot Williams, and the Blue Devils reeled off five straight wins to essentially salvage their ACC season.
