Congrats to FSU, who won the National Championship in dramatic fashion over Auburn. It was a huge win for the Seminoles, but equally big for the ACC. Read more about FSU's win over at SB Nation. Pitt moved to 2-0 last night with a blowout 79-59 win over Maryland. It was the kind of win for Pitt that should open some eyes, and cause Maryland fans to scratch their heads. Mark Turgeon could be on the hot seat if the Terps can't turn their season around.
Tonight, there are 3 ACC games on the schedule. Duke hosts Georgia Tech, hoping to bounce back from the Notre Dame loss over the weekend. Notre Dame hosts NC State in a game that should be fascinating. Can Notre Dame avoid a let down after a big win? Can the Pack avoid starting conferenc play 0-2 and pick up a tough, conference road win? Syracuse goes to Blacksburg in the other game of the night and the Hokies roster is decimated by injuries and sickness. Adam Smith is likely out while Marshall Wood and CJ Barksdale are both questionable with flu-like symptoms.
