Duke will appear in the game for the 36th time and will pursue its 23rd tournament championship. Louisville, which joined the ACC in the 2013-14 season, is seeking its first. Scheyer has the Blue Devils in the title game for the second time in his three seasons since succeeding longtime coach Mike Krzyzewski.

Louisville held off a late rally themselves in their semifinal against Clemson ultimately prevailing 76-73. Terrence Edwards Jr. led the Cardinals with 21 points with J’Vonne Hadley chipping in 20 and nine rebounds. Louisville has never won the ACC Championship.

Onto the ACC semifinals. If Louisville can make it past their first game in Charlotte, they will have the potential to face the third-seeded Clemson, sixth-seeded SMU or 14th-seeded Syracuse. The Tigers have a NET ranking of 22nd, while the Mustangs come in at 50th and the Orange at 129th.
