2008 ACC Tournament Quarterfinals: Review —
Tar Heel Fan
No surprises, no drama
#1 UNC 82 #9 FSU 70
UNC slowly pulls away from FSU and expends very little energy doing it. Just the kind of first game you want to have when you are looking at possibly playing three in a row.
#4 Virginia Tech 63 #5 Miami 49
Neither team shot particularly well in this one but when it counted down the stretch the Hokies had the hot hand going on a 22-7 ...

Deja vu.
Lawson will start and UNC will try to win over FSU for the 3rd time this season. The upside to being a top four seed is you face a team that played the day before. In this case FSU will put five players on the floor who all played at least 30 minutes versus Wake Forest on Thrusday. What is more than ...

There is really not much on the line here other than trying to win this game for the right to play UNC which cannot be considered much of a prize. Both of these teams will go to the NIT but the hope of playing spoiler versus the #1 team in the nation might be motivation in this one. FSU comes in as the hotter team having won ...

Two of those teams, Miami and Maryland play on the first day which means they have to win one for sure but in doing so play the next game at a bit of a disadvantage. In the bottom tier you have lots of talented players and teams who have made noise ...
