Duke advanced to the Sweet 16 on Sunday, rolling past Baylor 89-66. Duke has now won 13 straight.

Friday night's win was UConn's 13th straight in the NCAA tournament, tied with the 1991-93 Duke Blue Devils for the longest streak since the tournament expanded in 1985.

Florida coach Todd Golden believes he's built "something similar" to what Dan Hurley has established at UConn -- the reigning back-to-back champions.

Cooper Flagg had 14 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks in about 22 minutes for Duke on Friday, later saying his ankle was no worse for the wear.

Cooper Flagg says he is "pain-free" following his ankle injury and expects to be fully healthy for Duke's NCAA tournament opener against Mount St. Mary's.

No. 1 Duke showed off its depth with Cooper Flagg sidelined and defeated 13th-ranked Louisville 73-62 to clinch its second ACC tournament title in three seasons under Jon Scheyer.

The prevailing mantra in the aftermath of North Carolina's loss to Duke: The Tar Heels had done enough to lose long before a costly lane violation with 4.1 seconds left, yet this was still a team more than deserving of a spot in the NCAA tournament.

Duke survived a ferocious finish against rival North Carolina with a 74-71 win to advance to the ACC tournament title game, but the Blue Devils won't have star Cooper Flagg for the game, coach Jon Scheyer said Friday.

Freshman Kon Knueppel scored 17 points to help No. 2 Duke beat rival North Carolina 82-69 on Saturday night and clinch the outright Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season title.

Though it's still too early into spring practice to know what he has, new UNC football coach Bill Belichick said it's up to the players to buy into the product.
