On vacation for the next few days so posting updates may be a little slower than usual. Check out the game previews and predictions for today's action below. The final Saturday of non-conference action gives us some pretty decent matchups. Don't sleep on teams such as Santa Clara or BYU who are both pretty solid teams. Needless to say, the ACC needs a good day of basketball to help themselves in March.
The ACC got a bowl win last night as Virginia Tech came from behind to defeat Rutgers 13-10. Check out the full recap here.
