Florida State upsets North Carolina, 73-70
Posted Mar 15, 2009
Ty Lawson probably couldn’t have played in the ACC Tournament championship game, but it doesn’t matter now anyway. North Carolina’s No. 1 seed for the NCAA Tournament is still secure, but the Tar Heels won’t be playing for a third consecutive ACC title on Sunday. Toney Douglas, who is from nearby Jonesboro and has a brother who plays for Atlanta Falcons at the same Georgia Dome, saw to that.
