QUESTION OF THE DAY: How many ACC tournament games have been played in which neither team made a substitution?
STAT OF THE DAY: North Carolina freshman forward Ed Davis, a Benedictine High graduate, scored 10 points in his first ACC tournament game, a 79-76 win over Virginia Tech. Davis played 19 minutes and shot 4 of 6. He entered the game averaging 6.3 points. Yesterday was his sixth double-figures points game of the season and his first since Dec. 3 against Michigan State. His career-high is 13 points against North Carolina-Asheville.
WHAT TO WATCH TODAY: How well will North Carolina be able to defend Florida State guard Toney Douglas in today's 1:30 p.m. semifinal? Douglas scored 32 in the teams' only regular-season meeting, which Carolina won 80-77 on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Ty Lawson.
Douglas was one of four opposing guards to score 30 or more points against the Tar Heels this season, along with Maryland's Greivis Vasquez, Wake Forest's Jeff Teague and Miami's Jack McClinton. Carolina didn't have Lawson (jammed right big toe) yesterday and probably won't have him again today.
This is Florida State's second appearance in the semis. The Seminoles made it in 1992, their first year in the league, and lost to Carolina.
ANSWER : One. In a 1969 semifinal, Steve Vandenberg, Fred Lind, Randy Denton, Dave Golden and Dick DeVenzio played the entire game for Duke, and Bobby Cremins, Tom Owens, John Ribock, John Roche and Billy Walsh did the same for South Carolina. Duke won 68-59.
