It took 3 tries but the Blue Devils finally figured it out against North Carolina. It wasn’t a thing of beauty but the Blue Devils were finally able to top the Tar Heels after being swept in the regular season by Roy Williams’ squad. The Blue Devils were able to eek out a 1 point win in the ACC Tournament semi-finals on the strength of 31 points from freshman superstar Zion Williamson. Williamson clearly looked gassed at times but still was able to managed a double-double (his second of the tournament).
The Tar Heels jumped out to a 13 point lead with 6 minutes to go in the first half.
