The big news in the ACC on Thursday night was Louisville's football game against Houston. Unfortunately for the Cardinals, the game ended in a 36-10 lost to Houston and the end of any title hopes. Read more on that game here.
In basketball, the ACC went 3-1 with Clemson, Wake Forest, and Louisville all winning in preseason tournament action. Pitt wasn't as fortunate dropping a game to former Blue Devil Semi Ojeleye and SMU 76-67. Turnovers and rebounding were the issue for Pitt, and while the former is expected, rebounding shouldn't be a problem with the personnel that Pitt has. One note from Wake's game, keep an eye on John Collins. The sophomore has been putting up big numbers early on.
We have another big schedule of games today as holiday tournaments continue. Clemson, Wake, Louisville, and Pitt are back in action, while UNC gets a 1 AM tip against Hawaii and NC State takes on Montana. FSU, Georgia Tech, Syracuse, and Notre Dame all host Friday night games.
