Duke basketball has chance for revenge after ACC Tournament thriller

The Duke basketball team has a chance to avenge a previous loss this season. 

Revenge will be on the minds of the Duke basketball team on Friday night in Brooklyn.

The Blue Devils (27-5) will get another chance at the Miami Hurricanes (23-9) after the ‘Canes stunned Boston College at the buzzer in overtime during the ACC Tournament quarterfinal.

Boston College, the No. 13 seed in the tournament, sent the game to overtime thanks to a 3-pointer by Jaeden Zachery with 22.3 seconds remaining and nearly won the game on a full-court heave at the end of regulation.

Scoring was at a premium in the extra session as there were only ten total points scored between the two teams. But the biggest bucket came after a missed shot by Makai Ashton-Langford, which turned into a full-court outlet pass by Charlie Moore to Jordan Miller for a layup as time expired.

The basket set up a date between the Hurricanes and the Blue Devils, who defeated Syracuse earlier in the afternoon.
