The Atlantic Coast Conference has five of the eight teams remaining in the field, including both Duke and Syracuse that are set to face off here at 1pm.
North Carolina is set to host today while Louisville is on the road at #2 Northwestern and UVA @ #4 Maryland
Bonus in that my Bride 👰 is taking in the action 🎬 as well.
The Final Four is set for next weekend on the Campus of UNC. Let’s hope that its full of ACC teams!
At the Half, 1-1 after Duke scores on a rare Penalty shot.
Duke takes the lead 2-1 inside of the first minute of the third quarter and leads by that same score heading into the final 15 minutes.
Love it when Google takes some of my photos 📷 and puts them to immediate use !
Duke, UNC and UVA make the Final Four and Louisville was about to make it a clean sweep before Northwestern scored late to tie it and finally win it. I think it was Meat Loaf 🍖 that sang two out of three ain’t bad so if that’s true, then three out of our four is freaking Awesome !
50,500 were treated to an Instant Classic last night 🌙 inside Keenan Stadium 🏟.
39 points were scored in the 4th quarter alone.
