Four ACCes
Friday Night in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament was all about the ACC as four teams from the power conference earned trips to the Elite, assuring that two teams will be in the Final Four. The most impressive performance came from ACC Champion North Carolina who advanced to the Eastern Regional Finals in Philadelphia with a 101-86 win over #5 Indiana. Leading the way for the #1 seeded Tar Heels was Brice Johnson who had 20 points and 10 boards. North Carolina will next face #6 seed Notre Dame who used a late surge to race past #7 Wisconsin 61-56. In the Midwest Region in Chicago, #1 Virginia led wire-to-wire against #4 Iowa State 84-71. The Cavaliers will next play #10 Syracuse who defeated #11 Gonzaga 63-60 by overcoming a five-point deficit in the final three minutes. The Orange survived a missed call from the referees as Tyler Lydon block, rebound and free throws with four seconds left sealed the win.
