Tar Heels face daunting task in ACC tourney final against Miami

It was a hard-earned victory whose euphoria lasted only long enough for coach Roy Williams to realize the task his team faces next. “We’re getting ready to play somebody who has beaten us twice by about eight million points,” he said.
