No. 1 Tar Heels Top Seminoles, 82-70

Posted Mar 15, 2008

North Carolina's offense worked just fine to start the ACC tournament. The same couldn't be said for the top-ranked Tar Heels' defense and rebounding. Tyler Hansbrough scored 22 points Friday to help North Carolina beat Florida State 82-70 in the ACC quarterfinals, completing a tough three-game season sweep of the Seminoles while reaching the semifinals for the fifth time in six seasons.
