ACC Morning Linkfest 3/9/2016 with Game Sim Predictions

NC State defeated Wake Forest thanks to a big effort from Maverick Rowan on day one, while FSU rolled past a BC team that is hoping to forget this season altogether.  Wednesday at the ACC tournament gives us 4 matchups.  Let's take a look at those.

  • #8 Pitt vs #9 Syracuse - The noon matchup features two teams that are both looking for a win to make them feel a little better on Selection Sunday.  They both should still be in but with the at large bids disappearing one-by-one this matchup should be intense.
  • #12 NC State vs #5 Duke - Two local teams will face off for the 3rd time this season.  Duke won 88-78 in Raleigh and 88-80 in Durham, so we should have a high scoring affair that will be fun to watch.
  • #11 Georgia Tech vs #6 Clemson - The Yellow Jackets finished off the conference schedule playing well while the Tigers started off just as hot.  The Jackets will need Adam Smith to get hot and stay hot while Clemson will be counting on Jaron Blossomongame to use his stretch 4 abilities to create matchup problems.
  • #10 FSU vs #7 Virginia Tech - The Noles are coming off a win on Tuesday that was virtually a scrimmage.  It gave them a chance to familiarize themselves with the environment but with little pressure as they beat BC easily.  Virginia Tech better match the Noles intensity early or FSU could jump out to an early lead that may be the difference in this one.
