in foul trouble DJ Burns can do that to win the turnover battle NC State has made the last two

game

s here in the

tournament

destroy the offense with 17 offensive rebounds in their win over Syracuse and you can't be afraid either and for the pack of wolves. Nobody scared Obie, they've forced a ton of turnovers here, we'll talk a lot about that as we go. Duke winning the initial tip Duke with 24 and 7 n State 19 and 14 Mitchell comes in trying to get him down and gets burned. a hand over and a quick turnover right there an early turnover and can the wolf pack take advantage of it made a good look?

Duke did a great job coming back on defense without giving up a transition bucket Casey Morel up top n State forcing 35 turnovers in the The first two

game

s here in Washington DC will follow Marcel and that one will drop Mitcher. Will will go down to rebound. Good defensive position. Brock Proctor on that possession. Bowski with the touch working on Diara on the baseline and off his foot and offside. NC now. NC State held off Louisville and an impressive performance by Sky Clark in the first. They scored 36 points in the first round, but they won the game.

NC said it 9485, that was without DJ Horn. He returned last night as you take a look at his starting lineup. and there will be no DJ speaker in the starting lineup. Kevin is going to continue with what has brought them to this point. Did Filipowski take it? Now the horn starts on the bench as Proctor takes him out. A tall and long one that comes for a cockroach. the back of the iron and a foul and a rebound, as you check out Kevin Keat seventh here in the H for NC State and Kenny gets a couple more wins here DC, that foul will burn by the way, it will.

Number one John Shy has had success in this

tournament

. Wasn't he the MVP of the ACC tournament in 09? Yes, the first person to win an ACC tournament as a player and head coach. H Davis is trying to capitalize on that this year. Duke, the current ACC tournament champion in Baseline Mitchell, fights for his Miss and is behind Mark Mitchell's offensive rebound and that is one of the area and will be the first in diara, but both The Bigs right now are picking up NC State . a foul early and of course if you consider that DJ Burns and his backups are on the court, as well as that's one of the areas they can't get into foul trouble against this failed first line, DJ Burns at 27 points against Duke in the four on March 12 for 19 shots, but for much of that game it was a one-man band, completely blocking three-point attempts and the perimeter game once again Burns goes for it and will be knocked out of bounds with 1828. get here in the first half and still on the board OB I think we've seen Kowski on the ground already three times in this game the tone is already set it's going to be physical here in the round quarterfinals J M by the way, the outstanding The freshman took a shot in pregame warmups, accidentally colliding with a teammate who was Jayen.

Blake's Angel will have more on that in the future. Taylor drives the lane from the window, the no and Filipowski picks up the loose ball. Ires Proctor here here Duke is missing a freshman guard in Caleb Foster he's out with an injury oh swing pass Mitch is underneath at a very difficult angle he couldn't finish it yeah you have to finish that just for the highlight factor that was a beautiful dime to Philip Palski wrapping it around a Defender to give Mitchell a good look, the top 10 who could have exactly been OB Tailor in the last six games, has been absolutely on fire averaging 19 points per game and another turnover, this one is not off to an artistic start, here's McCain and there are two strong ones.

Duke just took the court for the first time in the tournament after the double buyout and I also think that even though North Carolina State has played a couple of games, they are a little nervous in this one, they understand of course that It's always different when you're playing against the Blue Devils lip-smacking SL but we've seen sloppy

basketball

from both teams starting the game three minutes into neither team's scor tries to put an end to it but can't Rell with the rebound former star Virginia, she will quickly go down to the infirmary, she loses control.

These two teams are 0 for nine combined and no one seems to want to hold on to the ball. Rebounds 50 years in the lane. McCain will foul every time you play against. The wolf returns, one thing you have to determine how you are going to protect DJ Burns. Are you going to double team him or are you going to let him play 101 OB? You mentioned 27 points for him in the first matchup between these two Duke defended. one man manned one1 most of that, but now you'll see that they'll be able to double team this entire game to not allow him to go 31 minutes into that game, allowing him to stay on the court and operate. offensively Mel with the lack of a moment ago and DJ Horn reporting for Duty for the wol pack morcel will retire for a moment we are in the leading scorer of the pack 17 points per game 43% from three returned after missing the Louisville game in first round he had 16 last night which included a dunk yeah we asked him before the game how he was feeling he said he felt good he got some medicine they gave him a good massage on his hip flexor I told him who was still bouncing, said I absolutely can.

I'm not waiting to get another one, so he wants to show off at halftime, but last night he scored all 16 points in the second half, then Middlebrooks entered the contest at the buzzer. Taylor took a shot that reduced the clock to seven here in the fire and it hits him. down and NC State is finally on the scoreboard, yes the first field goal of this game, the only other points were J McCain at the free throw line. I don't think anyone would have chosen that four minutes into this one with these two powerhouses. The Kowski offense gets a lot of attention and they throw it again.

Duke looks like they haven't played for about a month. This point is Swit with the horn as he will drill it from the wing and DJ Horn won't wait for the second half to get it. a score as soon as he comes off the bench, he can hit a three-point field goal to be the first of the game for either of these teams. Kane over and up and into a nice running game and again Filipowski coming down. but Mind's presence by spin to not land and knock that down, he knows where he is on the court already close to the basket, he puts it before the help defense can get there, man, does he take a lot of punishment every night?

DJ horn grab and carry horn North Carolina picks it up and whistles two while making the basket, it will be on the line and NC State grabs a seven for Advantage, our ACC tournament quarterfinals NC State and shy in the wolf pack Wow , Coach Sh told me that NC State is a different team now because they are playing with more confidence and connected, especially on the defensive end, during the first two games of this tournament, they forced 35 turnovers and also got 23 steals, he said that they wanted. To make it a track meet, we want to make sure we're controlling the pace in their last game, they only allowed five turnovers, they already started the game with three in this one, so it's saying if we can contain their guards, we can finish.

State Cinderella Quest well, the last three possessions NC State cleaned it up. They have gone three for three in their first six. They went 0 for three and turned it over three times and it's no coincidence that three for three happened since DJ Horn came into the game. he has two of those field goals, the other by Michael Okell with the first goal of the game for the Wolf Pack, but they seem to have settled and that is usually an advantage for a team that plays on this field, we already mentioned that. It's been a while since the Blue Devils have been in this type of competitive action.

Kan weing Advantage over that right eye, taking that pop and a header was going to be on the line, there were seven on the shot clock. 1439 to go in the half Obie made. a series of good passes in tight spaces, however, Duke has not been able to finish, give a lot of credit to Thea and central BR for defending the rim from the elbow. no rebound from Taylor. Taylor has really been their scoring star in most of these recent games, the last five or six, he's been the man of the wolf pack, yeah, averaging close to 19 points in his last six games, he's said games consecutive 18 points here in the tournament, Kane on the drive or Connell staying with him, Ryan young, 16 gr, if I prepare a sign up for John shy Sean Stewart, we are number 13 for Duke, we had a great game against these guys and just as he came off the bench for 12 and five, yes, Sean Stewart played more minutes down the stretch here for the Blue Devils as John Sire started. has grown a lot of confidence in the freshman and has made that pay off for his coach Kane by using that lightning quick step to get in for two and that's an area where Jared McCain can often be effective, we know about his shooting three-pointers, but when he is able to get into the paint and attack by making plays for himself or others, it adds another dimension to this Bo Devil team.

Look at the rookie ACC team. uhoh, diaro is right when he goes for the slam and yells, but a play like that. to him, Obi simply energizes not only the wolf but also himself. He goes to the offensive glass. Now you'll have to worry about him on every possession where a shot is fired last night. DJ Burns implored him to dunk, he didn't give in. up, take care of it, who received the OB message. I think he did it with Bowski and a clever twist will end on the downside. It's a difficult move with a twist.

He acknowledges that there is no double team that shows his strength in that seven-foot frame to easily finish over. of the And Taylor out of the three backs him up, steps back and shoots, he got it, he really wanted to take that shot and he drilled it, you're absolutely right, OB, he wasn't passing that

basketball

, he made a decision early, he was getting a look at Ro, a little too high on Proctor's fingers and offside, the big drop is fighting Mohamed Diar finishing strong and KY Filipowski acknowledging that double teams are not coming I'm going one on one and I'm going to win this battle NC State with a win last night on a big run in the second half and they beat Syracuse 83-65 let's Angel well guys with Muhammad Diar right now he is acknowledging Ramadan and can't eat or drink anything since he leaves the sun until it sets, so the sunset. in DC today it was actually 7:15 he left the ball game he will go to the end of the bench he will meet with the nutritionist she said she will start giving him fluids throughout the game but she wants to make sure he has enough shakes throughout the game , they're going to feed him a lot of stretches in games too, that will be a traveling violation for Ryan Young and another turnover for Duke.

Respect this young man's discipline and, more importantly, the manner in which the wolf. The pack faithful have supported him in the training and nutrition staff knowing exactly when they can hit him because once again during R he can't drink anything during that time either so of course playing basketball you need to stay hydrated and seven offensive rebounds last night really They showed it. up big Burns trying to get closer and takes the hit also the btic 69 graduate squeezes and drops it over his shoulder, reaches back, he actually came back with a small patch over his eye, he actually received three stitches but he most impressive thing about this and Cory, I know you'll appreciate it, he had a smile on his face the whole time, that's why coach shy says he's the power boot on this list, he's absolutely an angel, but you know, I blame Jared for that because he was playing defense, why are you playing defense before the game?

OB, it doesn't make sense actually before the game, you said why even he is playing defense in the game exactly. Mitchell will slam it, beauti

full

y coached by the Blue Devils, he'll be in the Huddle early. To this, during the timeout, Jeremy Roaches was talking to Mark Mitchell specifically about finishing strong. I saw Jeremy make the gesture to go up and shoot and you see Mark Mitchell taking that leadership from the captain and paying off on the court. He set up a few Giants games this season. Become a very valuable guy for Coach Sho Oconnell on the back line.

He has blocked Diara in the fake shot clock for up to four Burns in a row. Yes, he has such a nice touch. If that is all. OB. He just puts it on the rim so softly even when he hits the rim he still has a chance to fall because he has that soft touch North Carolina such an impressive win today such an impressive win over Florida State 92-67 in our first quarterfinal Bop with 14-10 RJ Davis 18 points filipowski bending over He flips it over yeah you want to call it as Filipowski seemed to extend that forearm however he did a great job getting back up when you see Philip Palsky fighting DJ Burns and that's it exactly how you have to attack a big score John shy, we are being too much and calm down, more open, finish it please, we don't have to go down and take quick shots, let it happen, what can't hurt us is not talkingdown here, you have to play. every play on defense and then on offense is a nice find underneath as DJ Horn was able to score his third field goal, but underneath out of bounds, that's one of the things John CH was talking about, they had to defensively communicate that this should not happen.

Ro gets up there and a whistle with 104 left in the half and today's other quarterfinal was the pit knocking down the slipstream 81-69, perhaps a critical blow for Wake Forest as far as the NCAA tournament is concerned, never was behind in that 19-12 NC State foul. goes morcel, that's number two, Jeremy, so cockroach to shoot, he'll shoot two at 87% on the line and it sounds at number one. We have everything covered in the selection on Sunday again. It all starts at 6 Eastern Sports Center on ESPN Reese and the guys watch. in the men's field of 68 they announced brackets followed by Bracketology and at 8, the women's field of 68 revealed that Bracketology comes in a

breakdown immediately after, well I think this oh my goodness Dan shman now means that actually it's Rees Andrea and the boys now, so it's not just about Reese and the boys since my little sister Andrea Carter is now in the mix, so you know, I think J BRS didn't necessarily like that he was playing well Guys, that's what the promo says, so we're going to have to edit that. no, we have to edit that, actually, to be Burns, short filipowski, the rebound came directly to him RO with a missed shot and a great rebound from diara Michael O Connell has had a really good tournament 16 against Louisville at 16 against Syracuse it also has beyond the three point line, hor will let it fly and again Duke crashed the glass, Duke limited NC State to one direct opportunity, oh absolutely last by the players, 37% beyond that line , that's what's so dangerous about the Blue Devil team, there are more of them.

It's dangerous to shoot in transition from the three now that Caleb Foster is unavailable and still injured. They don't have as much firepower, but with all three guys on the court they are still dangerous. From Beyond The Arc they will get Proctor or should I say Roach. for that foul that will be number one Jeremy Roach simple quick kick forward and as the defense turns to Jeremy Roach tires, Procer steps in with confidence and knocks down all three balls and when he is making shots, he takes this Duke Blue Devil team to a completely different level, especially when you have confidence in the offense, well, Duke is starting to do that well, they started one of 10, they made five of their last six shots, so Duke is awake, Taylor Diara, he will shoot that up there, but too strong, so once again. they are one and done filipowski bounces for Mitchell takes it out for power that he can't connect and reaches, they will catch McCain underneath while he commits the foul that will be two for them and we didn't mention Caleb Foster, so now the Duke's depth in the backcourt is nowhere near what Caleb Faler had, who pretty much single-handedly won the game against Michigan State for the still-injured Blue Deers, and so of course the depth in the backcourt isn't the same .

As they have had most of the season, Taylor came out of the fake and finds the lane to shed a tear. No Bowski runs down the court but he can't finish it. How about this career resource? Style to place it from one side to another. They go one thing for sure. When the Wol Pack has the opportunity to make the transition, they will take it. Jen Taylor didn't even see Di's outla pass, but she placed it so perfectly in his spot that he was able to pick it up and the stri lowski hits it. down after one dribble it just opened up for him, but Flip has been very aggressive coming into this game and I love seeing that from him when he's so aggressive, then of course he puts so much pressure on the opponent's defense, eight points for he.

The ACC first team also the Sporting News third team, all-american Burns runs into a wall of targets after the fake dribble down horn, hit a deadly three-pointer 43% Beyond The Arc 249 Proctor looks to respond and now he's heating up, he's It's warming up now I knew the offense was coming, it came a little late, they took the first four minutes off, but now both teams were shooting at a high rate and playing at a much faster pace. The titens reached a two-point game under seven to go. First half Burns and Filipowski, from head to toe, chase the loose ball and on the line it will be delivered by Angel Tois OB they want it to be ATT track me in the W package of a Miss turn a good defense into a great offensive game counterattack basketball exactly for the delight of Kevin Keats now we wish him nothing but the best in retirement it won't be the same without Joe meanwhile NC State with a lead of 2422 here at the Duke Blue Devils the first time they played 10 days ago Duke became repeated five times in the entire game, they already turned around five times in this one and three of them in the first minutes of the game, so they have adapted offensively at this moment, both teams have found a rhythm that will be interesting to see . if any of these teams can break away, but OB I would love to see this one be a pinch and Tuck Affair for the full 40 minutes filipowski moves to the left hand, that's TP to stop, he has alerted NC State.

They're going to have to deal with Kosi all game long as he starts to come off the rebound and every move has been aggressive defensively as well, he's already made three steals while he connects again and that's 12 points. This has made the difference here many times, I think. I've kind of been giving up guys on the perimeter, but now Kowski is letting everyone know who the best player on the floor is and leading Duke on a seven-shot rush or he'll shoot from the elbow and be on top. Mitchell, good catch. and a slam and another strong finish from Mitchell message received on the sideline stop trying to place the ball basket everything inside forces them to commit a foul to take away your opportunity fell got up again caught the pass going to work on Filipowski tour He almost made it, but that will be the second foul on Filipowski and that's the only way you can stop him in this game is to get him in foul trouble and take him out of the game.

CU of the rebound that is attacking muhamed. no chance on that possession and then, defensively, KY Filipowski entering the passing lane and with great body control to be able to finish and even if he made Miss OB, he was in a great position to be able to come back on that second jump and touch . Brooks is in the middle to the line to transfer from Clemson and the 73% foul shooter rings in the first and now Filipowski with that second foul will come out with 526 left in the half and also Jared McCain on the bench with those two fouls.

Plus, you have a lot of firepower for the Blue Devils sitting on the bench watching and finally developed some kind of offensive rhythm. See if NC Stay can take advantage of it with those two guys on the bench. The foul line has been a great weapon. In this tournament for the group, they were 20 for 24 last night against Syracuse and they had been 53 for 64 in two games on the line, yeah, that's always going to be important, especially this time of year, and what should be a close game. taking care of business at the free throw line don't want to give away points roach out High roach to attack no opening there as they sealed the shot clocks at three Mitchell Hees and here comes NC State they 5 and two all time in the Games of the ACC tournament in Washington DC, so they've liked being here, shortstop Brooks Connell with a short-range jumper with no power from TJ, the 69 freshman getting some minutes here in the first half for the Roach Duke Blue Devil bouncing for the youngsters, kick for power, here he comes. that bounces off the iron and Horn wants to go for Dio two and oh, I couldn't get him to make the second effort, although he covered for the horn, here's diar from the corner, that's why doing the two when you can get three and a timeout.

Jeremy Roach gets a lot of credit for coming back on defense and Diara missed the layup, however, the offensive rebound gives them the opportunity to make their first offensive rebound of the game and Di capitalizes with the corner three holding the shooter 3. National Champion of the State of North Carolina, wol Haack. Jim valano and the three guys, Danny fer and the CLC State backcourt all represent the DMV extremely well and M, High School H, Jared McCain, back on the court now for Duke these last four minutes before halftime here at Capital One Stadium in Washington. Pass inside for the young guys, they'll kick it, but if the open shooter had a tremendous look, yeah, Bobby, I think Duke has been too selfless at times.

Jeremy Road should have taken that three in the corner. I mean, again, not that it was. It doesn't look good for Proctor, but Roach is a better shooter and we also saw them pass an easy layup early to kick a three that they didn't roll inside the middle Brooks and denying just a whistle and Mitchell can't believe it. but I think with this one Armstrong had the foul low, so before the middle Brooks could even raise the foul it was low on this possession, you see when Mitchell crosses over, look, you see the left hand hooking that arm which was a great call from Clarence Armstrong, I was right on top in a great position to be able to see that, but I love how the players, when you clearly know Mark Mitchell, you actually attacked him and then the reaction was no way, yeah, no, actually. we saw.

That that was a clean call certainly left him with his arm in the middle Brooks on Fort Lauderdale's 610 Junior line and leaves him with a two-point lead for the group as they look for the upset tonight and look for their third straight win. Here in Washington, trying to make their way to the semifinals, I hope, as we keep score, there has been a streak of 60 since C Lowski committed that second foul, but Jared McCain, back on the court playing with two, had to lift it into the air after saving. right to Middlebrooks Taylor closed that baseline and he's on the line right in front of the Duke bench and he turns it around.

We've seen that decision more in college basketball this year than I remember before you know what the last one actually was. A few years since the NCAA moved the three-point line from 199 to 21 and changed whatever, now it's been happening more and more, yes, but you have less room on that sideline because of course the three-pointer has become Even more important. Throughout this game you guys are playing with bigger feet this year, yeah I think that's it or maybe your shoes are just bigger. Proctor with a pull up of 16, you want to attack, yes, if you are a DJ, you want to attack, he finds Burns, no, yes. you want to put Jared McCain in some action see if you can pick up that third five M jumping into the lane I can't hold on NC State talked about wanting to pressure him pressure him pressure him they wanted to track me tonight as much as they could give a high rebound to Proctor and Mitchell will throw it from the dribble well saved by Taylor and, two minutes before halftime, Mitell from the corner will drill that which is a two-point mark mixer much more decisive in the shots he needs to make and when he needs to execute that work difficult moment doing a great job acknowledging that Proor did all the work all he needed to do was shoot the basketball look how far Burns is from the basket as he starts this move on Young running on McCain for the double he throws it up but it doesn't land but Duke he doesn't pick the double team until DJ Burns puts the ball on the floor.

McCain yeah, that shot and D back in front by two points in the paint Duke doubled up at

state

Filipowski got in foul trouble but was on fire before going to the bench shot clock at eight Taylor's shot clock Burns was reduced to two OK with long one got a triple but another Di and DJ Burns gave okono enough time to shoot over Mitchell's outstretched arm fouled here 45.1 to go will shoot Mitchell holding on to the rebound kept him alive and a second effort here for Duke Jeremy roach 14 points a game with a shot clock at five an ab thear opens with the rejection now here's the decision you make a play Young dead young made that play right there and if you're Taylor you're looking at that clock if you don't have a definitive advantage you take it away and take the last shot of the half.

Taylor tries to take it to the hoop, however, Ryan Young has no part as Kevin Keats calls a timeout to set up the final possession of the first half, so check out what Kevin Keats has set up here for a final play for ok, seven to shoot, they want the horn to blow it, he makes two to get a shot in the air on the drive, he hits it with the horn, for what? certain Obi DJ horn, he's not afraid, one thing is going to be an attack mode from the moment he steps on the ground until the clock says triple Zer and says triple Zer to end the first half with the DJ horn lying on soil. however, after getting an angel with Coach Keats, he executed it perfectly, Duke only had two shots during that span, yes, and they are a different team on both offense and defense when Flip is in thebench, but now he is back on the court to start this second half.

Watch to see him be ultra aggressive knowing how much they need him and just seconds into the second half a foul here DJ Horn also opened up in the lineup in the second half he didn't start the game let's go with Angel well guys he was catching . He met with coach sh and said containing J Horn was the game plan coming into the game and that remains the same. In the second half, he wasn't happy with the open looks he got in transition, especially from the three-point line, so he was just making sure the team understood where he was on the court at all times in the second. half.

Casey Morel's inbounds dunk, the second time NC State had an open look underneath incoming plays, gave a lot to Kevin Keats and his staff. of credit designing opportunities for his team to get easy baskets so the wolf backs up by five a lot of contact here as we go forward filipowski fell to the ground he spent about half of this game on the ground I don't think it's anything new we really need a tracker Obie . How many times does he throw himself on the ground? It was probably five times. In the first five minutes of this game we saw him get up off the ground, but he will always be physical when you play. against F Kowski because a lot of times he initiates the contact, which forces you to have to hit him back, yeah, I don't think he cares at all.

Diara, his second foul was directed at Filipowski. He turned directly to Diara and tied him up. There is no fault. Great defense from Diara and most importantly, don't leave his feet. The ER possession will keep it here for Duke out of the innings for the Blue Devils who will look away to receive a shot from Proctor, so NC State tries to take advantage of a five-point lead. They are the number 10 horn that rises and came out of nowhere and ended up, rose above all the ones he took. North Carolina State spent almost the entire first half to get its first offensive rebound after scoring 17 last night, but now you see why Mitchell, so effective off the dribble, came up short and came away with wins here in DC.

About Louisville and Syracuse, there really is a paradise. There haven't been many close games in this tournament yet. I think we're going to have one here. OB. I think this was nearing the end because the wolf pack doesn't seem like it's going away and of course we meet the Duke. Lels are always ready to fight. I think you're right, it feels that way. Diara tried to get in and is lucky to save him. The shot clock is at three and one whistle here and that will be an offense, it will go to the other. The path continues with a discussion.

Now Kevin Kei is not happy about this, as we see Mohamed Diara walking a tightrope. The baseline stays in bounds, but Horn gets the offensive foul on that one, but what he missed, Jared McCain got away with a foul right there, he actually held the r, which would have been a dunk, Warren's first foul and you'll dare to see DJ Burns helping DARE Mark Mitchell shoot those three even though he's already knocked down one. Ro will complete another rebound for diara oconnell for moreel in 25 in the first round against Louisville, the work on Mitchell gets in that paint, I love this matchup right here, OB B Morel and Jeremy Rose, those two guys teamed up to win a p Jam Championship along with ar bot, so those guys have a great relationship with NC State. by buzzer seven to drive it and turn it around there OB I'll tell you why it was such a smart play by DJ buzzer Jared McCain is playing with two fouls he understands the importance of Jared McCain so he's going to put him in action and force him to have to defend Before the game, we know it's been a battle throughout this game, kind of a rivalry, but it's been fun to watch him fight tonight guys, six points so far for him, two of five shooting, he's got it on the wing. finds filipowski for the quick hit, good execution by the blue D after the timeout, giving filipowski an easy look, but when you have a seven-footer who can play with that movement outside of the basketball, you get that kind of thing Top 14 for Filipowski's talk about great footwork and great touch with another two hits from Duke started very slowly in the first half, if you remember, they rolled for six, he rolled for five in this half before the bucket of Filipowski hit as if someone else was trying to go to the other side of the iron.

He'll bounce it here and back up for Jeremy Roach. The shot clock reached seven and he lost control. Another turnover for the Blue Devils and that's the way this Wolfpack team thrives on offense, they turn it over to you and then they come down and do it. you pay for those mistakes he burns to set the screen okell he has to go you have Jeremy roach you have to go that DJ Burns was too fast trying to beat the double team to get there he has to take advantage of those opportunities with roach behind long range roach yes sir 44% beyond that line and talking about taking advantage of opportunities Jeremy roach with the Cross Match recovers no one picks up a lethal shooter for the Blue Devils on the other end or gets trapped but he got the cross pass okono open yes sir and answer for the group DJ Burns vision is Elite OB he just surveyed the floor and found where the open guy was when he saw too many uniforms around him to drive him Mitchell will finish it 46-39 NC State the winner will move on to the semis tomorrow at 930 passes coming to H for a double is starting to heat up is starting to heat up OB is now in double figures has played very well this tournament 12 points for oconnell five for six from the field two for two from Beyond the three point line number one SE of North Carolina to face the first semifinal at 700 p.m. tomorrow here from DC with Dan J and Jess filipowski running towards Diara who collects the rebound again.

I have to correct you on that, it's actually J with Dan and j, I stay, yeah, that's it, but again we have to point out who it is. the stars are here to put those guys in their place yeah Morel pretty calm up to this point slamming on the brakes with a spin Duke looking for some rhythm here filipowski tangled with morcel been grabbed that shirt Mitchell DJ Burns ain't coming out for there and protect Mitchell and that's what you have to do if you're Mark Mitchell, you're going to be challenged to shoot those threes and I think Ryan gr gave the signal that there's going to be two feet of Mark Mitchell on the line. look at that one in the next ball 23 against Notre Dame 23 against wake and diara will commit the foul we have 1323 ahead in this NC State above number two Duke ESPN's exclusive college basketball presentation takes place due to lack of defensive communication as you see Jared McCain gets hit with the screen KY Filipowski doesn't change and takes away the opportunity trying to stay home with the r allows Casey Mor to make an easy dunk on the down play out of bounds so sh I was talking about calling a defensive call there and said that's something we can't have regardless of my shots.

Missed shots, we can't have that and speaking of made shots, Mark Mitchell's basket before we went to timeout was called a three, so the score is now 4842 compared to Rulle at two on the court, yeah , before the timeout, mcain committed his third foul that has Diara at the line at 65% as he hits number one NC State trying to continue a Magic Carpet Ride here in Washington and and play his way to the semifinals tomorrow, the Victory tonight would be the 20th of the season, say what Obi, he doesn't look like a 65% free throw shooter, neither of them touched the rim, they were all the last ones on the net, Filipowski. 14 point game Maine looking in, he'll turn to the paint for two and that's the way Flip is going to have to play every time he gets a chance in the post if they don't run at him a little bit right away he has to look to score I think Duke has been too selfless in this game trying to share the basketball and passing his productivity per minute higher than anyone on the court tonight okell with a pull up too strong mber fighting for the rebound Creed, but right at Duke McCain pushed wide by Middlebrooks and there was no foul, he just deflected it.

Big hands from Middlebrooks coming back after the scrum, but the turn on the offensive side has been spectacular, he doesn't see any double teams recognizing that I gave, as good as a defender, he's too small to turn and flip once again towards that left hand but they can't stop him, he's going to force Kevin to have to bring the double team 50-46, Clos type in the Gap 18 points so far for Kyle filipowski Taylor from the middle Brooks walks down the stairs going to work and leaves the Iron Duke grabbing the Big Time boost. Roges trying to split the defense got fouled on the floor and almost made it past those two, but he got hit with exactly 12 minutes left.

Duke is, if not absolutely in the semifinals. in the championship game, Duke put him in 12 minutes to go to Filipowski 9 of 13 shooting the rest of Duke's team 10 of 33 so he could need some help and a collision is that McCain fell tying with the horn before the ball came out. he came in, but McCain looked like he had sprained his ankle. He was grimacing as he was trying to get through that screen, of course, he was supported by the horn, but he lets you look, look at that right foot, you see that right ankle turned in the starting number. two at the horn, they hit him before the game started, they gave him three stitches over that eye as if he had head-butted a teammate.

Prame gr, he'll take a beating tonight. Proctor off the front desk wants to drive it in for two. It would have been a bad shot, but attacking the bass and getting the layup was even better as two defenders got the flip and the Duke fans in the house and many came to life here, they shot with two horns and he hit a foul shot against Here Duke, Proctor Garden, very close, that will be number one. Tyrese Proctor Bill Covington chatting with DJ Horn after the call. DJ placed the basketball, he didn't push it into Proctor's chest, he just placed it there, which of course is a no.

No, in the game I love the fact that the referees have the conversation and don't hand out a technical foul; however, if it happens again, they will be quick to hand off the B tee on the drive and shovel that pass to Middlebrooks Marcel to Determan. drive and down more foul that was a tough shot that was absolutely a tough shot and tough move by Casey Morcel going downhill playing in front of 25 friends and family here watching him at home and of course his other friends and family of he. on the bench celebrating the strong move, of course you should always have a flex in AR, that's what I do when you make one of those big calls when you show the pipes.

I'm here flexing behind you, most people. I can't see that, but it's actually happening and thank God they can't. McCain just picked up another foul that will be number four on Jared McCain and now TJ enters the game in a tough situation simply because it's going to be difficult for him to defend any of these high-powered guards for the Wolf Pack 11 minutes to go filipowski melee on burns recovered it finished it earned that big moment absolutely did a great defensive job by DJ Burns as they both come back smiling across the floor burns did his job but flip just did his best laas in the 20s 10 of 15 from the floor Morel from long range can't drain the rebound Ted out High Morel grabbed it came first and finished it last with the slam 5550 filipowski touching it every time down the court as he should blows the whistle there and almost rolls in, he will head to the line, they get Brooks center for number two, the offensive glass Ben Brooks center returns it to Casey Morcel who sees a wide open Lane fills with two hands to increase the lead to five for the wolf and Ry Bowski scored 22 points and nine rebounds having an even better game this time last year won the ACC tournament MVP, but he's in a dogfight tonight and another free throw on the way is 67% and one of two right now .

I would expect to see Kevin Keats find a way to involve TJ's power in the move to see if he can find a way to defend. Casey Morcel, who is caught on fire here for the last few possessions Morel with him there, is at the foul line, slamming the shot clock to five horns with a thinner Brooks without a middle, hit the shot clock reset Not that it matters since Taylor was ready to shoot, it will be in the first half with the Blue Devils all over the offensive glass, but now Ben Middlebrooks Mohamad di starts to flex his muscles on the offensive end, the roach is really looking for contact no whistle blown by Middlebrooks and a foul against Duke Ben Middlebrooks making a difference the 610 Junior coming off the bench absolutely Ben Middlebrooks breaking the glass offensively but more importantly strong with the basketball throws a strike out to Jadon Taylor who knocks down the three ball guys to revisit what the coach should told me before the game, although they saw this team 10 days ago, this is a more Wolfpack groupdangerous because they play connected, they have more confidence.

He said that when DJ Horn missed the first round, this team understood their role as best they could. Impact on the game, we're seeing them very connected, all but one player has scored on their roster, which certainly happened here in Washington, as well as the shot goes in and out because they really weren't playing very well in terms of wins and losses, They lost four. Back-to-back games leading up to the ACC tournament and in those four games they also lost a turnover battle, but they've been on top here since coming to DC McCain came back with four fouls, missed the dribble and lost the basketball that's out of play . limits and not many things are going right right now for the number two SE Duke Blue Devils.

It's been a tough night so far for Jared McCain, however, he's one of those guys that will move forward and continue to fight this fight, but give the world a lot of credit back for the way they defended the rookie pick, although when it gets hot, look at 8 3-pointers at Florida State, you and I were there for that record-breaking performance, one doubled it for Middle Brooks, try the other side. the rim, but no Duke to coach McCain wants those paints and a whistle foul here against NC State stops the clock with 819 left in the foul Morel is number three McCain an 87% foul shooter OB I've been there before, especially like his first year as a freshman going out and playing in the ACC tournament and that first game.

I can remember my first game in the ACC tournament. He was 5 of 20 from the field. Things didn't go well for me. 5 out of 20 for the game, yeah oh. Yes, I have good looks. Wow, with Jar McCain, things haven't gone well for him, yet he still has a chance to make a difference in this game. The blood problem, I think here, when Middlebrooks came out to attract attention, yes, in that hand of his. I've been a dervish here tonight because Coach Keats really has the luxury that Kevin Keats has of being able to have a guy like Ben Middlebrooks to come out and give him quality minutes with DJ Burns unable to play extended minutes in this game that Ben Middlebrooks has given. them all the energy and effort it needs as Jay bis would say it's not the ACC tournament if someone isn't bloody that's a great point and Jay has been to a lot of ACC tournaments well they both know that very very well . 819 to go and okono is being called by Ron gr I think he can't get into the game yet, there are two foul shots so DJ Horn has to stay on the ground until after the first shot and then at that point he can There will be a substitution, so Horn remains on the ground right next to it.

Kevin Keats MCC and McCain will be in line to shoot two freshmen from Sacramento California and now conell in DJ and DJ can take a seat and Ailen Hip kept him out of the first game against Louisville as it turned out they played very well. without him he came back and scored 16 last night he played 36 minutes in the first game against Duke he only had eight points in that contest he has been much better tonight Taylor returned from middle Brooks to the double and now Mitchell starts with Off Taylor in the corner Proor steps up to protect him on the shot clock at eight.

Taylor gave Mitchell a chance with the deflection. Great defensive work by the Blue Devils in that possession, most importantly, playing without committing fouls, giving away with the blocked shot. Now is an opportunity to cut out this leading roach. a great McCain fake is free for three his nightly rebound has not been hit a lot of times and outside the scar of double doubles with the numbers he is more concerned about the W has four assists in the game philipos with 21 rest of the team Duke 31 points in that game from Mark to Jeremy Rose 21 points for him he was F Batman's robin in that game but he hasn't been able to do it here this afternoon for Burns Burns trying to swing that iron it hits up and out but the mistake and you see the frustration of flip Mark Mitchell trying to get in close and block the shot as a shot blocker when you try that, if you don't get it, it opens up the back end of the offense. rebound that was an easy choice for Filipowski determined to get down there in a double diara hits it and Horn takes it back smart play by horn I don't have numbers nothing goes there that's going to be a foul filipowski wow in a chiny 641 to go to number three on the seven foot sophomore, take a look and see Philip Palski just hanging on impeding the progress of DJ Burns and while staying close, Clarence Armstrong close enough to be able to make that call, diara wants a long clash against glass but down eight with 6 and 1/2 minutes remaining filipowski enters a triple okal with the rebound sees diara ahead behind Marcel for the slam and that is the biggest lead tonight for NC State up by 10 6252 Mitchell did it there despite some contact and he drops it a couple NC State the number 10 seat against DJ horn number two look at Casey Marcel getting into the mix oh look at diara for free and this is the third game on the third day for this one World Pack, however, have been quicker with loose balls, more energy for the team in red than for the team that rested six to fire the horn at Morcel trying to fake a spin on Mitchell H, back up to 10 Casey Morel, fifth year, DJ Burns. fifth year DJ horn fifth year they don't want it to end here OB these guys are trying to keep playing they look like a very different team than the first time F the Mitchell got knocked out of three and that's the third time he made them PID for challenging him to take that big shot from Mark Mitchell, who's at NY State's 16, making a huge difference on the glass in this half, six offensive rebounds in this half and 11 second chance points. horn, a very good foul shooter will head to the line once he catches his breath, yes, he told his team, wait a second, let me have a chance here to rest.

Proctor and Horn's third failure to shoot and it's down to 449 in the DJ number. and 82% AAG around 18 points per game in ACC not playing as well here at the free throw line tonight as they have been throughout the tournaments just 7 of 10 from the charity strike this is a team that dominated the free throw battle as D, we see that DJ Hor missed two and that could be costly, those look like tired free throws, yes we have to mention the fact that he didn't play the first game, he is nursing a hip flexor, Filipowski , waiting outside for the ball, but Mitchell puts it in.

The lane will lead him and score five points in a row from Mark Mitchell. He's been featured in a big way for the double blues here starting in R. They haven't gotten the backcourt production they used for DJ Burns again and foul, so now OB, the cheap foul that flip had fighting with DJ Burns, who It was three, so now it's four, four fouls, 414 left and this is when you look at it and say those are the fouls you should stay away from, flip. too important for this team you have to be on the court now he is playing with only one foul or one disqualification his 21 points 12 rebounds but now four personnel and another failure here on the line for the wol pack in the first games in which they were shooting The 82% as a whole had hit 53 of 64 in the first two, another for Burns, the one in which he places Brooks central again now for the wolf pack and Burns will take a seat and that play, this substitution is to reach time waiting for the media.

I want Middlebrooks on the court definitely on defense to try to slow down Mark Mitchell, who has gotten going here on the last 405 remaining possessions in Washington. Great hands by the downed Morel picks it up and is back up 6559 and with the ball Heats call made a play from the wing KY MO looking to get a shot in the air 6 seconds on the clock he is determined to get it out of the window no, it's coming straight to diara and he falls and stays there forever and the hero falls unscathed for this Wolfpack team, muhamad diar, doing the job at both ends of the court, palski goes straight and made it, he will head to the line, a shot money for filipowski 311 to go as we go to halftime, we'll take you inside Kevin Keats' Huddle a few moments ago get back to guard at three, you're getting too many open threes, guys, come on.

You're not going to miss everyone, hey, take good shots, please, we're not like the shot clock. Because we have time, the movement has done the offensive and defensive work throughout this game four offensive rebounds for Mohamad Diara, who has played 34 minutes of this game Filipowski will be on the line and will look to finish a three-point play 23 points 12 rebounds for filipowski also added three steals tonight pressure here from

duke

broken by nancy

state

so here's the thing right now obie when

duke

is going to pressure you if you have numbers you gotta attack this is not the time of the game to take it out and use a lot of clock and allow Duke to set up his defense you have a chance you have to take advantage of it still keep your foot on the gas B one back off looking better at the shot clock and punch the jumper's mark look good and got his rhythm dribble at Mark Mitchell has to find a way to disrupt his rhythm, he allowed DJ DJ Horn has made that shot a thousand times in the gym only 16 points tonight Proctor looks to respond by leaning and will roll home, it's a tough bucket to Proctor and once again attacking the basket without settling for the jump shot quickly approaching two minutes left in this quarterfinal and the number two seed in trouble proor at the buzzer Filipowski out to protect the buzzer that opens Burns at the line missing shot clock at four back to the big friend had to take a shot in the air and that one will roll, that is the moment when the hoop did not help Mitchell run down the court and he commits the foul he wanted to do so much, but will be on the foul line with 46 minutes left.

I love Jeremy Roach's pass, keeping his eyes up, not even dribbling the ball, watching a teammate cutting to the basket. Mark Mitchell with a good career, of course he would love to have finished, that he had a but still chance to cut. in the lead at the free throw line 65% foul shooter has two shots ahead and the clock is ticking here in this quarterfinal and one miss and coming up tonight at 11:30 ET the team nothing but Ned will have the full breakdown of today's ACC tournament quarterfinal games this is the third game of the day another one coming at 9:30 that's Virginia and the surprising Boston College oh there's a team in this building today you're talking about Andrea Carter on point guard Joel Barry off the ball Luke Hancock Jay Williams and Carlos BL that team can win some games you're in that lineup and no not with these hips well I didn't mean now 127 to play Burns wants the paint swoops in and takes her home, oh, and worse, Kowski limps out. that scrum, yes, slow to cross half court, a little lame, 7164, a great defense, while conell beat that screen, T to shoot, filipowski, dribbling, six, to take a shot, the roach knocked him down and that was with 3.6 on the shot clock and 54.4 left. in the game and a timeout for Duke NC State closing within 7, head coach John sh was calling for a review of that deviation.

Yes, John Shire had a conversation with Clarence Armstrong about that last possession. He wanted to make sure that basketball went to Blue. Devils and of course in less than two minutes you can go back and review any play when you see Jeremy Roach attacking the basket and it looks like the basketball is going off the road. Casey Morel had an absolute hand, but he doesn't touch it along the way. He didn't and I think the decision on the court was NC State basketball and I think it will stay that way because Jeremy Roach's left hand seems to be the last one to touch and he definitely didn't touch it as far as we can. say it with that right hand so the call is NC State Ball with 54.4 seconds left Ron Grover Bill Cumington and Clarence Armstrong to make the team here for game number one and we took our time to do this absolutely right and we're here for this to happen.

It's still NC State Ball and that's the right call, he touched Jeremy Roach's left hand for the last time, now there was some contact, so again, if they could have gone back and called the foul, I think they would have seen it, but there was contact absolutely. that but you can't go back and change that they'll explain that to John sh I don't know if Duke's basketball can see can see it will be dup D will be Duke with the basketball must have been called Duke's basketball on the ground, so he gave it back to Duke.

Here, that's a tough shot, I can't make it. Diara rose to grab the rebound and another whistle with 50 points 7 and Roach was slow to get up, but it was a quick shot from Proctor. he never got Square to ever settle for that and he had more time than I think he thought he had saying the execution was perfect he just never shouldered Square to the basket trying to take that three one and one so diaro with a one and a roach with his third foul and the D front tires catch the hustle before the paint tilts towardsup and in by filipowski great Touch to turn there as Proctor now runs away cautiously, he will continue to fight there, but Waren comes forward had to finish it and MD did not get H at the rim and also hung on the rim missing the dunk as wide as possible Now while the referees confer, are they going to see this as a technical foul now?

Bill Covington coming in, it couldn't be worse for the Wolf Pack on that possession, what should have been an easy two ends up being a technical foul when you see Ben Middlebrooks hanging off the rim, which will send the Blue Devils to the line. free shots. wow by two shots and The Possession back in what is a five point game, forgive me, it will just be a one shot tactical foul for hanging on a rim after missing the slam and I had a chance to ice this. It's a great play, now you give the Blue Devils a chance to put a point on the board and I was screaming that you have to finish this, but this is a disaster for the pack.

You give the Blue Devils a chance to score without him. ticking clock, which is not your friend right now with 30.3 on the clock, surprising that Jared McCain is getting close to the line compared to Jeremy Roach in this spot, both in the high 80s McCain 87% and he gets that one which is the which has 30.3 So 7167 NC, so it will be NC State's ball, however, because there was no possession after the play, it will be NC State's ball because of the possession AR, the possession arrow, so NC State will take it after this timeout and what a wild conclusion here.

Here, a four-point game, M Brooks has to get rid of that one, he absolutely does. It amazes me that those are the type of plays that can really destroy your confidence with 30.3 left in this game to be able to go out and finish this game. I'm sure the basketball will be in the hands of DJ Horn Michael Oconnell, the guards, but it was a great opportunity for Ben Middlebrooks to seal this for the most part because the madman couldn't take advantage of it and allowed the Blue Devils to score a point. on the board, but they still have to stop defensively.

We return to the beginning of the transmission. You're talking about what it would take for NC State to defeat the Duke Blue Devils here tonight, the ingredients that would go into it and such. The ingredients have come into play DJ Horn but also Casey Morel Michael Oconnell is going to work Kyle Philip Paly got into trouble in the first half now playing with those four fouls the battle for the ball tied at nine to n but breaking the offensive glass has been the key 18 second CH points for the wolf pack Mohamed Di has made the difference and of course the wolf pack cannot be scared and they did not take advantage of this opportunity against the rival Blue Devil, so 7167 our last quarterfinal will come this night at 9:30 scheduled at 9:30 it will be a little delayed Virginia and Boston College BC the number 11 seed Virginia the number three we will see if we surprise in this quarterfinals in the last half minute of play and filipowski on the bench Yeah, with those four fouls on the defensive possession, you don't want to have him in the game, especially knowing that you might have to foul on four, you absolutely have to foul if you don't turn the ball over here.

With 20 seconds left on the shot clock, you can't let the Wolf Pack run out this time, so it'll be Oconnell who takes it to the baseline Stewart right in his face at 69 and, looking for a cutter, bounces in for a diarra and a whistle as he headed to the basket 29. nine on the clock and that will go against Proctor, who is number four with tires, Proctor to put Diara on the line and again 65% looked better than that, two of three tonight, but great shots here. and too strong with the first one, it's different, 29.9 left and you're holding a four-point lead as Kowski gets back into the game, it's still a two-possession game, but a great free throw here they've missed five of their last six. free throws NC State and missed the pair Proctor filipowski came back strong and has two more 7169 17 seconds di win it porno will draw the foul from behind filipowski filipowski just committed a foul, in fact he did, but filipowski felt he had all the ball On that possession, Kyle Filipowski fouled out with 15 seconds left to play DJ Horn.

It was hard to see if he got the arm or any contact on that. Well, Filipowski played a great game, 28 points, 14 rebounds, but it's over. TJ addressed love. The Blue Devils' decision on the last possession to attack the basket for several reasons: The Wack have missed a lot of free throws lately, so they won't be as confident at the line, however, this guy here DJ Horn has ice running for their Z, it's the first big 7269, they still win a possession and right now this is the important free throw to try to make it a two possession game number two for DJ, in fact, Ford beat it and another timeout.

I wouldn't be surprised at this point, OB, to see Kevin Keats get some full-court pressure, one that you don't want to allow the Blue Devils to be able to run the ball down the court with plenty of time and get a good look. the basket, so if there is any kind of pressure in the back court, I'm sure it won't be a trap, however, you have to be able to slow down the Blue Devils, not allow them to easily get to the basket and advance it, so watch. on a restart, Kyle Filipowski's eyes when the free throws went in, since he committed a foul in this quarterfinal, courage and effort on his part and we go back to the foul he committed on the bench against DJ Burn who had nothing to do with see with the play and again they are small things, but those small things add up when you are the best player on the court and your team needs you in those last 30 seconds.

Remember that it was Kyle Filipowski who just scored the basket to give the Blue Devil 69 before committing it. his fifth foul so there's 15 seconds left here's Proctor's hard drive the reverse won't go diara cradling him Mitchel fouls him with 7 seconds left and the NC State faithful are starting to feel it 7369 and diara returns to the line on June 610 to shoot two tonight two of five at the foul line and that one of 10, so he made a couple early now he missed a number two of six and his second is going to be 7469 Obie, the game plan has been executed perfectly by the pack of wolves at all times. this power play from the corner there is no one to recover it and not fall and NC State wins it over Duke here in the quarterfinals they eliminate the number two seed they eliminate the Duke Blue Devils 74-69 they give Kevin Keats and A tremendous amount of credit to his staff, the game plan, more importantly, the execution and the buy-in of his players.

This is a team that made the ACC tournament after losing four straight games and now has won three in a row here in DC and will find themselves. tomorrow in the semifinals, well, the first double-digit seed to reach the ACC semifinal since NC State and Miami did it in 20
