In the ACC Tournament quarterfinals, second-seeded Virginia (27-4) is set to face No. 7 seed NC State for a third time this season. The game tips off at noon in Charlotte and will be broadcast on ESPN2.
NC State (20-12) punched their ticket to the quarters with a solid 98-88 victory over Pitt in the second round. Quadir Copeland was the standout performer for the Wolfpack, pouring in 24 points, while Ven-Allen Lubin contributed 18.
Virginia, ranked tenth nationally, has had NC State's number this season, dominating them in both regular season matchups. However, the challenge of defeating a team three times in a single season is never straightforward, and the Cavaliers will need to bring their A-game to advance further in the tournament.
Fans are eagerly anticipating this clash, as Virginia aims to continue their strong form and make a deep run in the ACC Tournament.
