Here we are, the last Saturday of the ACC regular season. Unlike the last couple of seasons, Carolina has a real interest in the contests that come before them as they take the court with Duke that evening. There’s some other stuff going on in that game, something that ESPN and the ACCN will cover, but as far as Carolina is concerned, this is about building momentum for the post season.
First know this, with Duke’s win Tuesday night the Tar Heels cannot even tie for the regular season crown. Due to tiebreakers they wouldn’t have gotten the top seed, anyway, but there’s still something about taking the title in this season that would have meant something.
