acc

so there was some talk about north carolina losing its dominance at the acc as a state. yeah, unc did get beat by virginia tech twice and also by georgia tech once out of two games. duke had no chance at the acc this year. wake forest...well, they're only a north carolina team by geographical default. but who made it to the finals? unc and north carolina state. those of you who had doubts about north carolina as the reigning state of the acc can shove it!

even though the tarheels won today, the wolfpacks put up a great fight. we had only played 2 games in the past 2 days whereas nc state had played 4 games within the past week, 3 of which were back to back. i wouldn't have been surprised had they been a little exhausted and sluggish as boston college had been, but they weren't. their energy and focus were on the game every moment and pushed the tarheels as a formidable and respectable opponent. (boston college, on the other hand, started yesterday's game by shoving unc around. within the first 3 minutes of the game, a bc player pushed the ball in hansbrough's face mask, probably unintentionally, like henderson from duke unintentionally gave tyler the broken nose at the match up on 3/4/2007. but i'm sure it still hurts like a mofo.) had unc not been playing as well as we did today, nc state definitely would've had a good chance of beating us. we wanted the championship as much as they did, however. it's only a shame that nc state, after taking out both #2 virginia and #3 virginia tech, won't be in the ncaa. both unc and nc state gave a phenomenal performance. but there can only be one winner, and that's the tarheels.

and now onward to the ncaa!
