We have some really good games on the ACC basketball schedule today. It starts with the new guys battling out as Pittsburgh travels to Syracuse in a battle of undefeated teams in conference play. We also get the local rivalry of NC State traveling to Durham to play Duke. The Pack big men have said the Blue Devils are a guard oriented team and they plan to attack Duke down low. You can bet that ended up on a bulletin board in Durham. FSU travels to UVA, and the last time those two teams played, Virginia took the Noles to the woodshed. Will FSU be ready today?
Those are just a few of the storylines in the ACC. Check out the links, previews, and more below to get you ready.
