Florida State's men's basketball team upset No. 1 North Carolina this afternoon in an Atlantic Coast Championship semi-final game. Thanks to clutch shooting and defense by Toney Douglas (pictured above), Derwin Kitchen, and Coach Leonard Hamilton's other team members, FSU won 73-70 in Atlanta and headed to its first ever ACC men's championship game. Rolling simultaneously were Coach Thad Matta's Ohio State men's basketball team, which leveled No. 7 Michigan State en route to another conference championship game, the Big 10 title game in Indianapolis. Both teams are now probably assured decent seeds in the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament - aka "March Madness" - whose selections will be announced Sunday and which will start Thursday. Up next: tonight Coach Rick Pitino's No. 5 Louisville Cardinals play in the Big East conference championship game in New York City's Madison Square Garden. Go Cards!
