The 2024 ACC tournament is the North Carolina Tar Heels' event to lose.
The Tar Heels are the only one of the ACC's three predicted NCAA tournament teams left in the field for Friday's semifinals in Washington, D.C.
Thursday's quarterfinal results, which included the NC State Wolfpack's upset of the Duke Blue Devils, shook up the bubble conversation for the Virginia Cavaliers and Pittsburgh Panthers.
Duke's loss means Virginia does not have a Quad 1 win to earn in the semifinals. Instead, the Cavaliers probably have to beat the No. 10 seed in the ACC to set up a championship clash with UNC.
