Once again, the Hoos aren’t up until “9pm”, but the other games are beginning to gain more importance in both potential ACC tournament matchups going forward as well as for NCAA tournament seeding purposes.
Game 8: #1 UNC vs #9 Miami
Hoo to root for: Miami
Why: We want to get UNC out of this tournament. As mentioned yesterday, there is an argument to be made that UNC advancing helps them secure a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament, which is good for the ACC, but overall, we want the Hoos win the ACC tourney and that is best served by knocking UNC out.
