When it comes to conference tournaments and the NCAA Tournament, basketball teams can use all the help they can get.
Even if involves a (blue) devil and a demon (deacon) getting blessed in a cathedral.
All ACC school mascots went to the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., with 12 of the 15 mascots taking part in "Blessing of the Mascots" inside of the world-famous cathedral. The mascots are in the nation's capital with the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament, taking place at Capital One Arena less than five miles away.
WJLA's John Rogers reported all of the ACC mascots were invited to be blessed by members of the cathedral's clergy. Yes, including Duke's Blue Devil and Wake Forest's Demon Deacon.
Rogers' story was posted on social media and college basketball fans couldn't get over how hilarious it was to see people dressed in costumes excitingly getting blessings from clergy members, showing just how absurd college sports can get.

The only thing every ACC team can hope for is that the blessing their mascot received is enough to propel them to a a conference title. The first round of the tournament tipped off on Tuesday, and play will continue up until the conference championship game on Saturday.
