In Tuesday’s ACC action, Virginia beat St. Francis 76-51, Louisville took Western Kentucky 54 and UNC nipped Stanford 67-63 in the relocated Maui Invitational.
UNC won despite 24 turnovers (Stanford had 13). However, the Tar Heels won the boards by 20 and Stanford shot just 39.2 percent overall.
A stat to note: Walker Kessler had four fouls in nine minutes.
A quick word here for Cherokee, where the tournament is being held: it’s a really interesting place. The event is being held at Harrahs, a casino that operates on the Cherokee reservation.
The town is small but interesting.
