WASHINGTON (AP) — RJ Davis scored a game-high 25 points as No. 4 North Carolina advanced to the final of the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament by beating Pittsburgh 72-65. The Tar Heels’ eighth consecutive victory coupled with fifth-ranked Tennessee’s blowout loss put them in position to be a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. They’ll next face 10th-seeded North Carolina State in the conference tournament final Saturday night. Carlton Carrington led Pitt with 24 points. The Panthers should also be March Madness-bound after beating Wake Forest in the quarterfinals.
