UNC will face Duke in ACC Championship on Sunday

After winning an overtime thriller against Clemson, North Carolina advances to the ACC Championship where it will face Duke on Sunday at 1 p.m.

The Blue Devils made it to the title match after beating Virginia Tech 77-63 on Saturday after UNC had locked its berth in the title game.

It will be the third time the two rivals have met this season. Duke won 79-73 at Cameron Indoor Stadium in the first match while UNC took the rematch 81-67, which also handed the Tar Heels the ACC regular season championship and the ACC Tournament’s No. 1 seed.

UNC has won six of the 11 times the two teams have met in the finals of the ACC Tournament, but that hasn’t happened since 2001.
