Lucas: Rapid Reactions - UNC Beats Duke to Claim Outright Regular-Season ACC Title

Posted Mar 9, 2024
Does anyone have the ACC Tournament seeding scenarios in the event of a tie? Just kidding--the Tar Heels win the ACC outright. It's the ninth time in 20 years the Tar Heels played Duke in the finale needing a win to either share or win outright the regular season. They have won all nine. Terrific performance from Cormac Ryan, finishing with 31 points. (GoHeels.com)
