On Tuesday night, the ACC went 3-0 winning all 3 games comfortably. NC State had the best win of the night beating Stanford 88-79 behind an efficient offensive attack that had the Pack posting an offensive efficiency of nearly 130. Miami posted another impressive win beating UCF 72-50. The Hurricanes have jumped to the 2nd best Pomeroy rating in the conference. Wake Forest played some of their best basketball of the season beating Furman 79-55.
On Wednesday night, there are 4 matchups in the conference highlighted by UNC traveling to Texas. UNC's young roster should be tested by a hostile environment and a tough Texas defense that is among the nation's best. Game Sim sees this one a different way than I do, check out that prediction below. Check out predictions, previews, and more below for all of tonight's games.
