North Carolina, the number three team in the nation (21-1, 6-1 ACC), went down south and met a tough opponent in Florida State (13-10, 2-6 ACC). When the final buzzer sounded UNC beat them 84-73, even through adversity. And not just any type of adversity mind you, they beat the Seminoles without their point guard Ty Lawson. What is even worse is that they are also going to have to face #2 Duke.
