# 7 Duke advances to the ACC semifinals after beating Georgie Tech. in the quarterfinals 80 to 72. Duke like Kansas learned a valuable lesson for post-season play as they jumped out to a big early lead and lost focus allowing Georgia Tech. to get back into the game. Coach K. said this about the experience That was as much game pressure as we've had all season long," coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "You feel like you're in control of the game, and then 3 minutes later, it's crazy. I tried to tell our kids ... 'That's how postseason is. Nobody wants to go away. You have to put them away.' " Jon Scheyer led the scoring for Duke with 18 points in the win. Duke is in a battle with Kansas and Tennessee for likely the final 1 seed in the 2008 NCAA Tournament. For Duke to have any shot at that 1 seed they would need to beat North Carolina in the ACC Final.
