No. 6 North Carolina stops Miami 78-53 to reach ACC semis

Hicks on North Carolina's mindset for the rest of the tournament

The top-seeded Tar Heels (27-6) got 12 points from ACC player of the year Justin Jackson and held the smaller Hurricanes to 36 percent shooting, setting up a semifinal Friday night against archrival Duke or No. 8 Louisville.

With the stands at Brooklyn's Barclays Center sprinkled in Carolina blue, the defending champion Tar Heels didn't disappoint their fans who made the trip north.

Point guard Joel Berry II added 11 points and five assists, while Kennedy Meeks contributed 10 points and seven rebounds. Hicks sank all nine of his free throws for the big and experienced Tar Heels, hoping a long run in Brooklyn could land them a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Freshman guard Bruce Brown had 21 points and seven rebounds for the ninth-seeded Hurricanes (21-11).
