It is definitely a different experience watching the games from a desk in NY, but with intrepid analyst Eric Sorenson trapped in midair today, a look at the ACC Tournament online has brought one huge and surprising result.

After an opener that saw Virginia fight past Florida State behind ACC Player of the Year Sean Doolittle, most people expected more of the same with second seed North Carolina sending their ace and ACC Pitcher of the Year to the mound. But Miller's control was off, as five walks (after allowing only 27 all season) and a hbp came back to hurt him in the Wolfpack's two big innings.

The Tar Heels looked like they had something going in the 8th with a one-out walk followed by a hbp as NC State starter Gib Hobson appeared to be tiring, but Jay Cox was inexplicably caught way off on a fly ball to centerfield and was doubled up to end the inning and the threat. Hobson went the whole way to move to 9-1 on the season.

The between-innings rendition of "Cotton-Eyed Joe", which the TV announcers referred to as the "official Song of the ACC Tournament" based on the number of times it gets played, didn't get the same reaction as at some other sports events.

The Tar Heels drop into the losers bracket and will meet Florida State at 10am tomorrow, while the Wolfpack must gear up to meet Virginia in the 4:00 winner's bracket contest.
