Tar Heels Clinch ACC Tournament Bye

Posted Mar 1, 2014
Seven weeks ago, North Carolina sat alone at the bottom of the ACC standings. The 19th-ranked Tar Heels clinched a top-4 seed and a bye until Friday of the ACC Tournament with their 60-56 win over Virginia Tech on Saturday. UNC (22-7, 12-4 ACC) was the last team to notch a win in conference play, but has since won 12 of its last 13 games, including 11 in a row. (Inside Carolina)
