While it's the first of two scheduled meetings between the teams this season, it's the final time Blue Devils’ coach Mike Krzyzewski will be on the sideline in Chapel Hill.

Hunter Tyson’s layup with 3:19 remaining gave Clemson a two-point lead late. But Duke closed the game on an 8-4 run — four of those points by Paolo Banchero.

No. 4 North Carolina State won its eighth straight game, topping Virginia Tech 51-45 and limiting the Hokies to 29.3% shooting from the floor. N.C. State (18-2, 9-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) was powered by Jakia Brown-Turner, who scored 10 of her 14 points in the first quarter.

A news release from the school’s athletic department says the N.C. Department of Transportation approved a request on Wednesday to name portions of I-40 in Chapel Hill for coaches Dean Smith and Roy Williams.

Elissa Cunane scored 20 points, making eight of her nine shots from the field, to help No. 5 N.C. State run past second-ranked Maryland 78-60 at the Baha Mar Hoops Pink Flamingo Championship tournament.

Paolo Banchero started for Duke two days after he was cited for aiding and abetting impaired driving. The freshman finished with 10 points and eight rebounds in the seventh-ranked Blue Devils’ 92-52 win over Gardner Webb.

Roy Williams is gone and Hubert Davis has taken over at UNC. At Duke, it's the last ride for Mike Krzyzewski. At N.C. State and N.C. Central, the Wolfpack and Eagles will strive for NCAA tournament bids.

The 2021-22 women's college basketball season tips off on Tuesday. N.C. State is the favorite in the ACC again, while Duke, North Carolina and N.C. Central fight for wins and respect.

The first job for Hubert Davis — the program's first-ever Black head coach — will be to squeeze consistency out of a roster that befuddled Williams all last season before bowing out in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Duke Hall of Fame basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski will coach his final season with the Blue Devils in 2021-22.
