Basketball! It's back! And unlike most seasons, with the expansion of conference play and the league's commendable decision to open up the season with conference games, there's a host of good ACC games this week (of course, with such heavy emphasis on ACCN broadcasts so early in the season, many viewers won't actually be able to watch). The Cupcake State games will come soon enough (including in the back half of the week), but what a start to the season. So let's see what's on tap for the week (as always, all times Eastern and all ratings and spreads Pomeroy as of time of posting).
