A big night of ACC basketball is ahead of us as a good bit of ACC country is frozen over. Duke hosts UNC and Syracuse takes on a Louisville team that will be playing without point guard Chris Jones.
Jones is suspended indefinitely over a non-basketball matter and Pitino hints that the suspension could possibly extend for some time. The Cardinals will turn to Quentin Snider, who just 2 games ago ran the team versus Pitt as Jones was benched.
Today's big story is Duke/UNC. Game Sim has Duke winning 75-71. To get you ready, check out this Duke/UNC hype video from the ACC Digital Network...
