The North Carolina (UNC) Tar Heels play the Louisville Cardinals on Thursday in the 2015 ACC Men's Tournament quarterfinals. Watch the live stream or listen to the radio broadcast via the links listed below.
No. 14 Louisville ended its regular season on a high note after a stunning 59-57 win against Virginia. Forward Mangok Mathiang scored his only two points of the game on a go-ahead jumper with 2.7 seconds remaining, and guard Terry Rozier sealed the win after hitting one of his two free throws.
"Mangok was the 64th option," Louisville coach Rick Pitino said, via ESPN. "... That shot was good from the moment it left his hand. I'm really happy for him because he put in the work."
No. 19 North Carolina, meanwhile, bounced back from its 84-77 regular-season finale loss to Duke with win against Boston College in Wednesday's second round of the ACC tournament. The Tar Heels advanced after a comfortable 81-63 victory, thanks in part to guard Marcus Paige's team-high 17 points, six rebounds and nine assists.
The win was special for Paige, who was part of last year's North Carolina team that lost its ACC tournament opener.
"Coach (Roy Williams) didn't talk about it a lot but I brought it up today as we coming to the gym, that we lost the first day we played last year," said Paige. "That it was bad and we went straight back home. I was telling the guys, 'You don't want that feeling."
Unfortunately for the Tar Heels, though, they'll likely still be without forward Kennedy Meeks, who missed Wednesday's game because of an illness. It's also uncertain if guard Theo Pinson, who missed Wednesday as well because of a sore foot, will be available.
