No. 2 Duke claimed the outright ACC title and the No. 1 seed in next week's ACC Tournament with an 82-69 victory over rival North Carolina on Saturday. The win completed a season sweep of the Tar Heels for the Blue Devils, who could also be in line to jump Auburn for the top spot in next week's polls.

Kon Knueppel scored 17 points and Tyrese Proctor and Sion James both notched 16, and No. 2 Duke responded from a seven-point deficit in the second half to beat rival North Carolina 82-69 on Saturday night at Chapel Hill,

Duke played down a man — or two — for most of February and the first two games of March. For the final regular-season game at UNC, the Blue Devils had all players available.
