The top-ranked Blue Devils (29-3, 19-1 ACC) are coming off a 78-70 win over Georgia Tech, but it was a costly one, as they lost Cooper Flagg and Maliq Brown to injuries. The Tar […]
by Sharon Thorsland North Carolina opened play in the ACC Tournament with an easy 76-56 win over Notre Dame on Wednesday.
