We are a couple of hours away from our semifinal matchup with Louisville. They are ranked #12 (UNC #16), and are 26-6 on the season. The #2-seeded Cardinals made short work of #7 Syracuse 87-61, putting six players into double figures.
The starting lineup is basically what has been the case for most of the season: Tatianna Roberts, Laura Ziegler, Elif Istanbulloglu, Mackenly Randolph, and Anaya Hardy. Against the Oranges the Cards shot 55.9% from the floor and 41.2% from three. They won the rebounding battle 43-34.
By the time our game starts – 2:30 PM and still standard time – we will know who our opponent will be if/when we reach the championship game. It will be either Notre Dame or dook. For me, I would rather it be the Irish and not a third meeting with dook.
Carolina is still seen by Charlie Crème as a 5 seed. Their ranking has hovered just below the cutoff for hosting, and do not appear in the Top 16 Committee ranking. UNC has a NET of 19 but a WAB of 14. A win vs. Louisville should be enough to put the Heels in as a host.
We are told that this will be the 30th time Carolina has reached the semis of the ACCT. That’s the most of any school.
Go Heels!
