Kon Knueppel scored 28 points as No. 1 Duke overcame injuries to star Cooper Flagg and Maliq Brown to beat Georgia Tech 78-70 and advance to the ACC Tournament semifinals.

Duke faced off against Georgia Tech in the ACC Tournament. The Blue Devils won by a score of 78-70. However, the bigger concern was the fact that NBA prospect Cooper Flagg left the game with an injury.

A big second-half performance powered a Cooper Flagg-less Duke past Georgia Tech in Thursday's ACC tournament quarterfinal in Charlotte. The No. 1 Blue Devils (29-3) found their shooting rhythm in the final 20 minutes after a poor first-half showing en route to a 78-70 win over the Yellow Jackets (17-16).
