Louisville matched up with UNC on Monday night in a battle of the top two teams in the conference standings. Louisville came out on top with a 71-65 win over UNC at the Yum Center. The key in the matchup was UNC's eFG% of 37, where they have posted a number of 50% for the season. In particular, UNC made just 3-17 from long range. The UNC backcourt of Marcus Paige and Joel Berry II made just 4 of 23 attempts.
In the other matchup of the night, FSU held on to beat NC State 77-73. The story in the game might have been Cat Barber in a losing effort. Barber's 31 points on 10-17 shooting has people talking about his potential of winning the ACC Player of the Year despite the Pack's poor conference showing. Don't think so ...
For anyone saying Cat Barber can't be ACC POY because of NC State's record, Va Tech's Erick Green says hi.
