[North Carolina Tar Heels News]

Wayne Ellington scored 18 points and Ty Lawson had 14, and the Tar Heels' depth and balanced attack were simply too much for the Seminoles' one-man show, Al Thornton... FSU never led, and Thornton - the ACC's leading scorer and runner-up for conference player of the year - scored 12 points before fouling out with more than 6 minutes to go... North Carolina (26-6), hoping to win its first ACC tournament title since 1998, advanced to Saturday's semifinals and reversed a trend of upsets in the tourney. The higher seeded team lost every game in the first round.

North Carolina plays Boston College in the next round. Can they come away victorious?

[Lefty Noob]

And the answer is a resounding YES! According to the Associated Press, "North Carolina never trailed Saturday during their 71-56 victory over Boston College in the semifinals of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament... Brandan Wright scored 20 points on 10-of-12 shooting - most of them dunks - and the conference regular-season co-champions weathered a Boston College spurt that trimmed a 20-point deficit to nine before pulling away again."

Second half of the UNC - NC State game just started... Heels have a 42-34 lead right now, despite a poor first half from Hansborough. Not 100% sure but I think they said he only had 2 first half points. Anyone else watching the game right now?

[Lefty Noob]

Wow... this will be an amazing finish! Wolfpack has cut the lead to one with under 5 minutes to go!

[Lefty Noob]

UNC beats NC State by a final score of 89-80. They're ACC Champions. Now... are they #1 seeds?
