Lucas: Every Rose

I want to talk to the ten year olds. North Carolina lost to NC State in the 2024 ACC Tournament championship in Washington, D.C., as a middling Wolfpack regular season was redeemed with a victory over a regular-season champion Tar Heel squad. The same exact thing happened in 1987. And I can relate, because I was ten years old when it happened. (GoHeels.com)

Taylor's Take: UNC Basketball On The Wrong Side of History

I’m not sure how many people saw this coming, as top-seeded UNC fell to 10th-seeded NC State, 84-76, in the ACC Tournament Championship, giving the Pack its first ACC title since 1987.

Lucas: Rapid Reactions - UNC vs. NC State

North Carolina State caps a miraculous ACC Tournament run by defeating North Carolina, 84-76. That's a generational win for a State program that has struggled to have anything good happen for decades. Keep in mind this does nothing to change UNC's ultimate goal. This game only matters if the Tar Heels have a disappointing NCAA Tournament. (GoHeels.com)

One for the road: In final ACC Tournament as we know it, a classic UNC-NC State final

And how fitting, in a way. How fitting that here at the last ACC Tournament of its kind — the final one before the conference goes coast-to-coast for the sole purpose and pursuit of chasing football television money — the championship game features Carolina and NC State.
