Why?

Duke shot 49 percent from the field, closed numerous deficits throughout the second half, Though, Virginia Tech's hot shooting was too much to overcome as Duke lost 82-67 to Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship game

In the game Hunter Cattoor of Virginia Tech knocked down down seven three-pointers on nine attempts. Though, Duke cut the Virginia Tech’s lead to 67-60 with 6:30 left, but Cattoor answered with a deep step-back three to make it a double-digit contest once again. That proved to be too tall a hill to climb for Duke, which never got it closer than eight the rest of the way.
