No. 3 seed Duke stunned No. 2 seed Notre Dame 61-54 in the ACC Tournament semifinals on Saturday. The Fighting Irish have struggled down the stretch, which has come at the worst time with only the NCAA Tournament left in the season.

Oluchi Okananwa had 14 points off the bench and Ashlon Jackson scored 12 to help No. 11 Duke beat No. 6 Notre Dame 61-56 in the ACC Tournament semifinals.

If the ACC Tournament was going to be a time and place for the Notre Dame women's basketball team to quiet concerns entering the NCAA Tournament then the mission failed miserably and only more concerns have emerged.
