ACC Tournament Quarterfinal Notes
We wrap up the second day of the ACC Tournament with a few extra notes, including Virginia Tech’s chances for an NCAA bid, three Blue Devils leading the way and a couple of minor injuries.
Eagles Not Devastated By Loss
Boston College would like to have Friday night’s game against Duke back, as they had their chances to win. But they are concerned about more important things now, like the NCAA Tournament.
Maryland May Be Hitting Their Stride
Maryland isn’t a bad team, although they’ve had some uneven play and didn’t win back-to-back ACC games in the regular season. Now, the Terrapins appear to be hitting their stride at a good time.
Close Games Early Help Florida State Now
Florida State’s close win on Friday over Georgia Tech didn’t happen in a vacuum. The Seminoles have pulled out games like that with late plays all year, and it started early on.
A Fitting End for Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech’s season ended with a 64-62 loss to Florida State in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament. They had a shot to tie or win in the final seconds, and this loss is a fitting end to a season that had plenty of games that ended this way.
Tar Heels Win Without Lawson, Without Running
North Carolina didn’t have Ty Lawson on Friday, and may not have him the next day. They didn’t run much, but they still found a way to knock off Virginia Tech despite a valiant effort from the Hokies.

Hayes Awakens Maryland, Leads Victory
Early on, Maryland looked like they could get blown out as they started slowly on offense. But Eric Hayes came into the game and got them going, and later they took the game over en route to a victory over NC State.
