Surprising ACC final

I just sat down to watch the ACC final between Virginia and Maryland. The only problem is that, not having paid attention to Friday night’s results, I missed that both teams had lost.

That’s right, North Carolina finally won an ACC contest when it counted! They beat the Terps 16-10 after losing 21 straight games against ACC teams and 16 straight ACC tournament games.

The last time UNC made the final was in 1996. Congratulations Joe Breschi. Duke defied all odds and beat the Virginia Cavaliers for the seventh straight time. That’s amazing to me.

The Blue Devils have had two coaches throughout that period so it’s not that some coach has another coach’s number. In my estimation, only twice in those seven games has Duke actually been the better team.

I would love to see Virginia have to beat Duke this year to win an NCAA championship.
