The plan is for Saturday’s ACC Tournament Championship game, as Georgia Tech, No. 4, will follow for its first conference tournament since 1993 against the second Florida state of Florida, after a dramatic Friday for a tournament hit hard by COVID -19 protocols.
With the No. 1 seed Virginia, who was removed from the bracket on Friday morning due to a positive COVID-19 test, the ACC tournament semifinals are left with only one game left. The one game played managed to deliver when the Seminoles scored a 69-66 victory over North Carolina, No. 6.
After reaching a double bee final in the tournament and then chasing its quarterfinal opponent, Duke, through a COVID-19 edition, the state of Florida played for the first time this week after a triple bee. In contrast, the Tar Heels played their third game in three days. Still, it appears that UNC has enough energy left in the second half as it has fallen back from a 35-24 halftime deficit.
Eventually, the Seminoles survived as center Balsa Koprivica, who scored ten of his 17 points on the scoresheet in the second half, against the deep pit of the UNC. The win could help the Seminoles regain the momentum lost during an upset loss in Notre Dame, which cost FSU a regular season title last Saturday.
