There aren't many games left that feature two unranked teams, but North Carolina State University and the University of Virginia are one of them. NC State and UVA fce off today in the quarterfinal round of the ACC Tournament at the Phillips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The winner will advance to the semifinals of the ACC tournament on Saturday.
You can watch all the action between the NC State Wolfpack and Virginia Cavaliers live online here. Also, here is some video of a previous meeting between the two teams:
And here's more on this game:
Early in the season, Virginia led the ACC. But then Duke got hot and then UNC got hot and it was down the chutes for the Cavaliers. The Wolfpack, meanwhile, haven't received much press, but continue to be a strong team that often finds themselves in the middle of the NCAA tournament pack.
The NCAA tournament starts on Tuesday of next week with preliminary games in Dayton, Ohio. The real tournament starts on Thursday at lunch time. The top seeds in the NCAA tournament are likely to be Syracuse, Kentucky, North Carolina and Kansas.
The winner will advance to the semi-finals on Saturday.
Here's more on the Virginia – NC State game, from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
Lorenzo Brown's most memorable shot of this season probably was one he didn't make. The N.C. State guard's 3-point attempt at the buzzer bounced off the rim in a one-point loss to Virginia on Jan. 28, which ultimately put the Wolfpack on the NCAA tournament bubble.
But now Brown, a Centennial High graduate, and the Wolfpack have a shot at a little redemption, after dispatching of Boston College to earn a spot in Friday's ACC tournament quarterfinals against Virginia.
They keep their NCAA chances alive for another day, and even better for Brown? He's doing it with a little home cooking.
