Just a quick post for the day. The ACC lost both games on Friday night with Clemson losing to South Carolina by 23 and Miami losing to Eastern Kentucky by 28. Miami's loss in particular was a disappointing effort in which they were outscored in the 2nd half 45-19. The loss wasn't exactly of "Chaminade classification" though, EKU was ranked #64 on the NCAAGameSim.com rankings prior to the game (#40 after).
Today, ACC teams will get a number of challenges. We can only hope we'll see better performances than we saw last night. Check out links, previews, predictions, and more below.
