8:59 a.m.: Here’s the full Associated Press story on Duke withdrawing, confirming that the Blue Devils’ season is over:

Duke has pulled out of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament and ended its season after a positive coronavirus test and the resulting quarantining and contact tracing.

The ACC announced that the Blue Devils’ quarterfinal game with Florida State scheduled for Thursday night has been canceled. Duke had won its first two tournament games, but finished just 13-11 overall and 9-9 in ACC games.

Athletic director Kevin White said that Duke’s season is over, ending the Blue Devils’ streak of 24 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances.

The Blue Devils entered the week knowing that they likely needed to win the ACC tournament to extend the NCAA streak dating back to 1996 was likely on the line.

Duke failed to live up to its always lofty expectations, but coach Mike Krzyzewski said he loved this young team and was honored to coach it.

“We have not asked more of any team in our history, and they deserve enormous credit for handling everything like the outstanding young men they are,” Krzyzewski said. “I feel deeply for our players, who have done a terrific job all season in taking care of each other and the team.

“I am extremely proud of their collective attitudes and effort, which could not have been stronger.”

White said someone within the program tested positive after Wednesday’s game. He said the men’s basketball players and coaching staff had not had a positive test the rest of the season.

White said the players are being quarantined.

“Since last March when the pandemic started, we have listened to our medical experts and always put safety at the forefront of any determinations regarding competition,” White said. “As a result, this will end our 2020-21 season. We wish every team still playing college basketball good health and the very best during the next few weeks.”

The Seminoles advanced to the ACC tournament semifinals to play the winner of the North Carolina-Virginia Tech game.

8:57 a.m.: The next games are about to tip off:

— Virginia (-5½, 130½, -220) vs. Syracuse (+190), 9 a.m.

— South Florida (+125) vs. Temple (-2½, 133½, -145), 9 a.m.

— Villanova (-6½, 139, -300) vs. Georgetown (+250), 9 a.m.

— Kentucky (-3½, 132, -170) vs. Mississippi State (+150), 9 a.m.

8:52 a.m.: Second-half line: Toledo -2½, total 82½.

8:50 a.m.: HALFTIME: Toledo 41, Ball State 34. First-half winners: Toledo -4, over 74.

8:40 a.m.: The coronavirus has made its first mark on March Madness. Duke has withdrawn from the ACC tournament because of a positive test within the program.

That means Florida State advances to the semifinals, and Duke will almost surely not reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1995.

Three games are already underway today:

— Toledo (-8, 155, -380) vs. Ball State (+320), 8 a.m.

— West Virginia (-3½, 149½, -180) vs. Oklahoma City (+160), 8:30 a.m.

— Maryland (-1½, 129½, -125) vs. Michigan State (+105), 8:30 a.m.
