It's been a crazy few days for me moving into our new home. The good news is the move is nearly done, but the bad news there is a ton of unpacking ahead of us. To compound things, any kind of internet service in a new home is a few weeks away. I'll do my best to keep the site updated daily but things may be a little slower than normal. Enough about that, let's get to the ACC tourney action.
Yesterday, Wake Forest, Miami, and Georgia Tech won in rather uneventful fashion. Georgia Tech was taken to OT by Boston College, but considering the teams playing, the game was still rather uneventful. Today, things pick up a bit in game 1 as FSU and Maryland face off. The later 3 games all have teams coming off of wins from yesterday. It's not uncommon to see a team with a BYE start off slow, watch for that from Pitt, NC State, and Clemson today. For a team such as Clemson who has a tough time scoring, starting off slow could be a nail in the Tigers coffin.
One interesting tidbit from yesterday is the dumpster fire that is Boston College. As bad as BC has been this year, consider next year's team without Olivier Hanlan, Joe Rahon, or Ryan Anderson. Yuck.
Check out links on yesterday's action in the ACC tournament as well previews, predictions and more on today's games.
