No. 4/4 DUKE MIAMI
77 74
ACC Tournament Semifinals Greensboro Coliseum—Greensboro, N.C. (AP) The momentum was on the opposing sideline after a 3-pointer just before the halftime horn. Duke's frustrated Hall of Fame coach had already been whistled for a technical foul. And the fourth-ranked Blue Devils were flirting with joining the long list of upset victims at the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. But Kyle Singler scored 27 points to help the Blue Devils push ahead in the second half to beat Miami 7774, sending them back to the championship game for the 11th time in 13 years. Jon Scheyer added 16 points, including eight in the go-ahead 15-0 run early in the second half. The top-seeded Blue Devils (28-5) trailed by three at halftime before rallying to reach Sunday's final. Freshman Durand Scott had 21 points for the Hurricanes, who put up plenty of fight but couldn't follow their upsets of Wake Forest and Virginia Tech with a much bigger one. In the ACC semifinals for the first time in its history, Miami used a 17-2 run to erase a 12-point deficit and take the halftime lead on Malcolm Grant's long 3-pointer with five seconds left. But after Singler's quick second-half flurry, Scheyer — who had just three points on 1-for-5 shooting to that point — knocked down a 3-pointer from the right corner to start the game-changing 15-0 run that finally gave Duke a 58-42 lead with 11:52 left. That lead held up, though pesky Miami proved difficult to put away. The Hurricanes got within five points five separate times in the last 90 seconds only to see the Blue Devils respond with either a basket or free throws. DeQuan Jones hit a desperation 3-pointer on Miami's last possession with 2.4 seconds left and the clock expired. MIAMI 01 23 31 42 45 03 20 25 30
