An asteroid…that’s who we should root for…
In all seriousness, kinda, this UNC/Duke matchup is big for State’s ACC Tournament seeding. In the simplest terms:
Duke Wins
State becomes the 10th seed and would go up against BC in first round, then the path becomes UNC and Virginia. In all honesty, preferred, as they’d have a chance in all games. (There’s still an outside chance that Syracuse falls to 7th and replaces UNC in that scenario).
Did we mention the asteroid option?…
UNC Wins
State then jumps Duke to become the 9th seed and is immediately thrown into the ring against Syracuse, before a possible meeting with Florida State.
