The floor at Gas South Arena during pregame introductions between Virginia Tech and UNC
Last game of the day, letβs go.
For Syracuse, Uche Izoje is shooting 70%, the rest of the Orange are shooting 31.8%. Not bad, but quite a disparity.
ACC 6POY Imari Berry grabs the rebound with 5 seconds to play and weaves her way up court and swishes the buzzer-beater, and that about sums up how this first half has gone.
35-20, Louisville, at the 2Q media.
First bucket of the contest for either side is at the 7:07 mark, and it's Lousiville's, as are the next 5 points and 13 of the first 15.
Y'all this might as well be Louisville South.
The playing floor at Gas South Arena during the 1st quarter of the game between Louisville and Syracuse
Night session underway!
First up, 2-seed Louisville taking on 7-seed Syracuse.
Orange are without captain Dominique Darius, who is out for the tournament with an injured hand suffered in a collision yesterday in the Cal game. Darius had started every contest this season.
81-63, Notre Dame, your final. Notre Dame sweeps its season contests with NC State and has never lost to the Wolfpack in the ACC Tournament.
The Notre Dame lead is 20 at the 4:02 mark of the third, 56-36, and NC State has not passed the Hidalgo/Moore line, as the pair have 38.
At the half, it's Notre Dame 40, NC State 32.
Khamil Pierre has a first half double-double for the Wolfpack.
Hannah Hidalgo and Iyanna Moore have 33 on their own for the Fighting Irish
Game 2, the 4/5 game between NC State and Notre Dame.
ND up 31-22 at the 5:54 mark of the 2nd after going up 10 in the 1st and holding NCSU without a FG make til the 7:25 mark of the first
The top conferences in the country will crown champions this weekend. Hereβs what else Iβm watching.

60-46, Blue Devils, your final.
Clemson's Mia Moore and Duke's Toby Fournier lead the way with 17 apiece.
Fournier adds 10 rebounds for the double-double, the only player with double-digit rebounds.
After not scoring from the floor for the first 3:34 of the 4th, the Tigers are on a 7-0 run in just over a minute.
Duke leads 54-40.
Kara is MAD at Riley Nelson about something after that make and calls time.
Blue Devils up 19 at the 7:34 mark of the final frame.
46-28, Duke, your score after 3. Just 17 total points in the frame, thanks to both teams making just 4 shots.
Duke is 1-10 since going up 25.
Still a solid 20-point margin, but sort of an odd note.
Clemson is 3/11 since that point.
At halftime, it's Stevie Max and Simon Says.
Roc the Panther ALMOST got Pitt a win at the ACC Tournament, but was defeated by the Blue Devil.
Otto came in third, for those curious.
38-19, your score at half. Duke held Clemson to just 5 points in the quarter.
Every Blue Devil (5/7 that've seen the floor) that's played double-digit minutes has at least 2 rebounds and a steal.
π₯ Notre Dame continues to trend in the right direction, as the stakes get higher in the ACC Womenβs Basketball Tournament.

10-3 Duke run to open the 2nd quarter, including a beautiful rotation to get Mair an open 3 forces Poppie to call time out. He's clearly frustrated and had his hands on his head as that play was developing.
Yesterday's NCAA DI WBB Leaders
Mar 5
PTS: 41 - GiGi Gamble (Monmouth), Hunter Hernandez (UC Irvine)
REB: 15 - Adrianna Smith (Maine), Jite Gbemuotor (CSUN), Ra Shaya Kyle (Miami (FL)), Shanaii Gamble (Coppin St.)
AST: 10 - Jessica Carrothers (UIC)
STL: 7 - Shaunice Reed (South Carolina St.)
20-14, Duke, after 1 quarter.
Rebounds are tied. On the season, Duke averages about 4 more RPG than Clemson.
12-8, Duke, at the 1Q media. Blue Devils definitely came out amped up, but Clemson has been ready so far.
Shawn Poppie has a blazer over a hoodie over a t-shirt. Not sure if Becky Hammon's tried that one.
Starters for Clemson: Rusne Augustinaite, Mia Moore, Rachael Rose, Demeara Hinds, Raven Thompson
Starters for Duke: Ashlon Jackson, Riley Nelson, Taina Mair, Delaney Thomas, Toby Fournier
ππ» from quarterfinals. Up first, 1-seed Duke vs. 9-seed Clemson.
Yβall might remember, the Tigers took down the Blue Devils 12 days ago in what Clemsonβs game notes call its βsignature win.β Duke had a 20-8 lead after 1, but Clemson won by closing the game on a 17-4 run, capped by Hannah Kohnβs 3.
π₯ Oklahoma has all of the right pieces in all of the right places to put together a strong postseason push.
