Donnal is questionable for the game tonight after taking a shot to the head late in the GT game Sunday night. A win will keep the Tigers tied with Duke at 7-3 and 3rd place in the ACC standings, right behind 6-2 Louisville.

HUGE WIN!!! They showed a ton of mental toughness down the stretch after the Heels had totally erased the 16-point lead. Who would've thunk it before the season started, that they would beat UNC without Grantham and Donnal?! Tigers were #6 RPI before this win, and they are now 7-3 in the ACC, tied with Duke for 3rd and just a game behind Louisville, who the Tigers beat, for 2nd. Next up is Wake on the road! |
