See photos from Duke’s 59-49 win over Virginia in the ACC tournament final in Greensboro, NC on Saturday, March 11, 2023.

The Blue Devils lost to the Cavaliers on Feb. 11 on Virginia’s home court at John Paul Jones Arena. At the end of regulation in that game, Duke’s Kyle Filipowski appeared ready to shoot two free throws with less than a second left in a tie game. But the officials who called the foul looked at replay and wiped it out, sending the game to overtime where Virginia won 69-62.

The Blue Devils seethed. But they haven’t lost a game since that day.
