The ACC Tournament will not be a cocktail party to Roy Williams this year.

His UNC team must either win the tournament or stay home from the big dance. Their tall task begins Thursday against Georgia Tech.

Certainly UNC has their work cut out for themselves. They must win four games in four days in order to take the tournament. It doesn’t help that the Yellow Jackets swept the season series from the Tar Heels, including a dismal 68-51 loss in Atlanta three weeks ago. 

In 2007, the shoe was on the other foot. UNC faced an N.C. State team playing on its fourth consecutive day for the ACC Championship.

Williams recalls that Wolfpack fatigue was a factor in the Carolina victory.

UNC will face Georgia Tech Thursday night at 7, with the winner taking on Maryland Friday. You can hear the entire ACC Tournament right here on 1360 WCHL.
