North Carolina's furious comeback against Duke in the ACC Tournament semifinals came up short after Jae'lyn Withers committed a lane violation on teammate Ven-Allen Lubin's successful second free throw attempt — which had it counted,

North Carolina just blew its shot at the ACC Tournament championship game in perhaps the worst way possible. With just 4.1 seconds left in the semifinal matchup against No. 1 seed Duke on Friday, UNC was called for a lane violation on a potential game-tying free throw.

Duke had a 24 point lead at halftime before UNC made a tremendous comeback to make this a classic Duke-UNC matchup that Duke ultimately won, 74-71 - thanks to a huge mistake by Jae’Lyn Withers. Duke was without Cooper Flagg and Maliq Brown and it showed early as Elliot Cadeau found Ven-Allen Lubin twice for lobs.
