CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A teammate tossed a towel over Jae-Lyn Withers' head as he walked through the postgame handshake line wiping away tears. It was a small gesture meant to shield the North Carolina veteran from additional scrutiny after his lane violation with 4.1 seconds to play erased a made free throw that would have tied the score, sending the Tar Heels to a third loss to Duke this season, 74-71 on Friday, and, perhaps, sealing their fate on the outside of the NCAA tournament bubble.
Top-ranked Duke won't have star freshman Cooper Flagg for Friday night's ACC tournament semifinal against rival North Carolina, with the Blue Devils officially ruling him out about two hours before tipoff in Charlotte, North Carolina.
With Selection Sunday around the corner, teams will soon learn their fate. Have they built a compelling enough case for an at-large bid? Will they need to bolster their résumé with conference tournament wins? Or do they need an automatic bid to qualify for the Big Dance?
The Duke men's basketball program became synonymous with March Madness in the mid-1980s. The Blue Devils had success in the NCAA tournament before then, but it wasn't until Duke hired Mike Krzyzewski as head coach on March 18, 1980, that the school became a mainstay in the tournament and hung its first national championship banner.
One of the most underrated aspects of March Madness is the conference tournaments where teams on the bubble make their final push for the NCAA Tournament and elite teams try to cement high seeds.
