Clemson/FSU Box Score
Notes: In a game where neither team could take care of the ball, or shoot efficiently, FSU may have won the game at the free throw line where they shot 29-35 to win the game 69-59. Both teams turned the ball over 20 times, and FSU barely shot 40% from the field while Clemson shot 35%.
FSU was led by Al Thornton, who bounced back after his scoreless effort against Miami to go for 15 pts, while Alexander Johnson got his 2nd consecutive double-double with 12 pts and 11 rebs.
For Clemson, Julius Powell led the way with 14 pts, while Akin Akingbala had 13 pts and 5 rebs.
NC State/Virginia Box Score
Notes: Cam Bennerman put back his own miss late and Sean Singletary missed a 35 footer that would've given Virginia the win, in a game the Wolfpack ultimately won 66-64. Tony Bethel led the way with 16 pts, 7 rebs, and 5 asts, while Cedric Simmons pitched in 15 pts and 4 rebs. Cam Bennerman (12 pts) and Ilian Evtimov (12 pts, 6 rebs, 4 asts) also added double figures.
For Virginia, JR Reynolds led the way with 16 pts, 5 rebs, and 5 asts while Sean Singletary finished with 13 pts, 4 rebs, and 5 asts. Virginia finished 2-21 from behind the arc, a number that wasn't good enough to catch the Wolfpack.
Duke/Boston College Box Score
Notes: Duke held on late to beat Boston College 83-81 on Wednesday night. The Blue Devils jumped out early and held as much as an 18 point lead and held a 10 point lead as late as the 10 minute mark in the 2nd half. At that point, the Blue Devils stopped pressuring the ball and allowed Boston College to work in their halfcourt set, a place where BC had success most of the night.
JJ Redick led the way once again with 28 pts, 5 rebs, and 4 asts, while Shelden Williams finished with 21 pts, 6 rebs, and 7 blks. Also, contributing some big time was freshman Josh McRoberts (14 pts, 5 rebs), who it a appears may be looking more and more for his shot.
Boston College was led by Jared Dudley with 28 pts, 4 rebs, and 4 asts, while their leading scorer Craig Smith only managed 8 pts, 8 rebs, and 6 asts. Sean Marshall also scored 14 pts before fouling out and included a trash talking face to face match with JJ Redick in the 2nd half when BC was making a run.
