The ACC gets it's biggest stage so far this season as Duke takes on Michigan State in the Champions Classic tonight. The Blue Devils have had no problem in either of their first two matchups, but we'll get a better idea of who they are tonight against the Spartans. Michigan State beat North Florida by 32 on Friday in their only game so far this season. Miles Bridges is back and should pose a formidable matchup for Duke's young frontcourt of Marvin Bagley and Wendell Carter.
Elsewhere in the ACC, FSU hosts George Washington and A10 teams are always tough opponents. Pitt isn't playing tonight, so the ACC should take care of business in the rest of the games.
Last night Notre Dame and Virginia won their games easily while Pitt fell to 0-2 with a home OT loss to Montana. It's going to be a long year for Kevin Stallings team.
