My winners in Bold.

10-4 in favor of ACC.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

ACC is already 6-0 in early season unofficial matchups.
I think they add to the total. This is a bad slate for the Big 10.


The Big 10 will start out strong, but those last 6 or 8 games lean heavily ACC.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Big 10 gets dominated I think

 

[ericd7633]

Damn that was a brutal half of bball between FSU and Minnesota. Ton of fouls and turnovers. Half had no flow. Maybe that's a benefit to the gophers to ugly it up a little since they don't have FSU talent though?

 

[Hitman Hart]

I'm not watching, but Leonard Hamilton's offense usually isn't the prettiest thing in the world. Defense is usually solid. This is FSU's best squad since their 2012 ACC Championship team.

FSU played much better the 2nd half. Score won't be indicative of how well they played. Not the end of the world for Minnesota. Still a much improved game this year. FSU will win a lot of games at home.

Good luck to your Deacs @Hitman Hart . Picked NW to win but this is a toss up game IMO.

 

[rmilia1]

Must win game for NW if they want to be a tourney team. Can't keep playing well and losing close to decent teams

 

[Hitman Hart]

Good luck to your Deacs @Hitman Hart . Picked NW to win but this is a toss up game IMO.

Agreed with the pick. NW is off to a nice start this year. Close game with Wake playing mostly awful. Might not translate into a W tonight, but I like this Wake team to be very improved in ACC play this year.

 

[Hitman Hart]

Bryant Crawford is very erratic.

 

[ericd7633]

Collins looks good this half. Trying to watch during commercials of Eagles game.

 

[Hitman Hart]

John Collins is already better than peak Devin Thomas was. More athletic, more fluid and more versatile. Only a sophomore.

Was thinking the same thing. Thomas put up decent numbers but I never felt they meant much from a W/L perspective.

 

[Hitman Hart]

Just a terrible game by Bryant Crawford tonight. Wake isn't going to win too many ball games, without him making positive contributions.

 

[Hitman Hart]

Was thinking the same thing. Thomas put up decent numbers but I never felt they meant much from a W/L perspective.

Devin Thomas was the probably the most beloved team cancer in history. His teammates appeared to like him away from the court, but on the court, not so much. I am so glad that I don't have to watch him or Codi Miller-McIntyre play basketball anymore.

Tough loss for a young team. Hoping they get the win @ Richmond this Saturday.

Iowa(3-3) at Notre Dame(6-0) - 9:00 -- ESPN2

Should be a easy win, however you never know. Notre Dame should be ranked after a win from Iowa (if they win).

North Carolina(7-1) at Indiana(4-1) - 9:15 -- ESPN

Let's see how my Hoosiers do... this one is gonna be tough as hell. After that brutal loss against IPFW lets see if they can come back.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

1-1 so far. I still think the ACC wins this easily.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Maryland is getting bombed at home. B1G looking strong!

 

[Moab]

Don't worry Syracuse fans....UW lets everyone back into the game...it's what they do
