What better way to help your chances in the NCAA Tournament than to take out another bubble team? Both the Tar Heels (21-12, 13-7 ACC) and the Demon Deacons (21-10, 13-7 ACC) have that opportunity Thursday.
After Duke, Clemson and Louisville, there’s no team in the ACC that’s a certainty to make the NCAA Tournament. The last time the ACC had only three teams in the tournament was 2000, when there was nine teams in the conference. The ACC just expanded to 18 teams this season. Whoever wins this game will have the best chance of getting this conference away from the wrong side of history.
Wake Forest took down UNC 67-66 on Jan. 21, led by Cameron Hildreth’s 20 points. The Tar Heels led by two at half, but the Demon Deacons had a couple runs in the final 20 minutes that put them ahead, and eventually earned them the double bye in the ACC Tournament.
The Tar Heels beat Notre Dame yesterday 76-56, never losing control of the game. Jae’Lyn Withers was 7-of-10 from three, those 21 points were a career high for the fifth-year senior. Ven-Allen Lubin had a 17 points and 10 rebounds Wednesday, his second double-double of the season. It was also Lubin’s second double-double over the past three games.
