This Week in the ACC - 1/13-1/19
Duke remains undefeated and has a 1-game lead over Louisville and Florida State. That ends the discussion of teams that feel comfortable about their NCAA tournament prospects. Everybody else - yikes. It's been a long time since the conference was this full of mediocre teams and this thin at the top. Continuing the "it's been a weird season" vibe, Clemson pulled off something it never did before, and Virginia gave up more points in a 5-minute overtime than in a 20-minute half to Syracuse over the weekend. One can only wonder what this week has in store.
