Florida State overcomes UNC again to clinch first ACC championship

Posted Mar 11, 2012
The ACC championship is heading to the Sunshine State. Michael Snaer scored 18 points and Florida State used a barrage of 3-pointers to beat North Carolina 85-82 for the ACC championship Sunday. Florida State, which joined the ACC in 1991, won the men's basketball crown for the first time, showing its 33-point blowout of the Tar Heels during the regular season was no fluke. (ESPN.com)
