UNC took care of business with authority in their win over Virginia in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals. That earned them the right to face the other Virginia team, Virginia Tech, in the semifinals on Friday. The Hokies squeaked by Clemson in overtime on Wednesday and held on to take out the #2 seed Notre Dame in the quarterfinals to get here.
Currently listed as one of Joe Lunardi’s Next Four Out, Virginia Tech is trying to put together enough of a run with some additional luck elsewhere to get into the NCAA Tournament. Carolina, on the other hand, is playing for fortuitous seeding.
