So there's no great reason for Cooper Flagg to play Friday against North Carolina in the ACC Tournament semifinals one day after spraining his left ankle in a win over Georgia Tech. A potential Flagg absence would be good for UNC and likely best for a Duke program with eyes on a bigger prize.

ESPN's Joe Lunardi has UNC among the last four teams in for his latest bracketology update. The Tar Heels are picking up steam at the right time, something of a habit for this team under Hubert Davis. RJ Davis led the way in their win over No. 5 Wake Forest with 23 points.
