I haven't seen much of this year's ACC Tournament (work on Thursday and Friday, visiting my dad's mom at the hospital today), so I can't tell you much about Carolina's performance so far. I did feel like (from listening to Woody and seeing some of the second half) that the Heels got outplayed on Saturday. Luckily for the Heels, Tyler Hansbrough was there to clean up a Ty Lawson miss and hit the game-winning shot. If you watch that replay, look at how far Tyler comes to get that rebound - he's near the free throw line, across the lane from that rebound. But the national player of the year goes and gets it.
I won't say I expect the Heels to lose Sunday, but I wouldn't be at all surprised. The two hardest-playing teams on Saturday were Virginia Tech and Clemson, and Clemson is still alive. The Heels beat Clemson twice this year, but they needed three total overtimes to do it.
Ty Lawson is clearly not 100 percent. He was called for an offensive foul Saturday (I think I'm remembering this correctly) on a play when normally he would simply explode past his man. And, I think a healthy Ty gets all the way to the rim on what ended up being the game-winning possession Saturday.
No matter what, I think the Heels locked up the #1 seed in the Charlotte regional today, with Duke and Tennessee both losing.
