Louisville will have to wait at least another year for its first trip to the ACC tournament semifinals. The seventh-seeded Cardinals couldn’t keep up with No. 2 seed North Carolina Thursday night in Charlotte, ultimately taking an 83-70 defeat.
U of L was brilliant for stretches against the Tar Heels. Unfortunately, those stretches were outweighed by ones where the Cardinals were frustrating, and even more where North Carolina was simply more brilliant.
Coby White, UNC’s star freshman point guard who had played so poorly in each of the first two meetings against Louisville, seemed to finally figure the Cardinals out.
