That looks like 6 or 7 in (probably 6).
The preseason bias should be worked out by late January

LOL. The problem with computer ranking systems is once you get in conference play in BB in a Conference with so many low ranked teams is you really can’t move up unless you beat The teams in the Top 40.
The ACC will be lucky to get 5 teams in the NCAAT this year. Sad that the bad football conference is now a bad basketball conference.
Get the crockpot fired up, break out some of your lighter marathon beers, and park yourself in front of the TV for some early afternoon ACC hoops.
12pm: Pitt @ Cuse on the always wild CW Network
12pm: UVA @ ND on ACC Network
2pm: VT @ Wake on ESPN2

But we should be #2 baseball conference with a shot at #1. I don't think we'll get past SEC in baseball again given their NIL.
But in basketball, we'll have to won more, especially on the road, to overcome weak opposition.
Why not? Just need to get more shots to go in. ( tic).
Notre Dame hangs 41 on the dreaded Tony Bennett packline defense behind 17 points from JR Konieczny (4-4 from 3) and leads UVA 41-24. I doubt UVA goes quietly in the second half though.
Pitt-Cuse looks very similar to our games. Pitt is dominating the offensive boards but Cuse is hanging in there with steals and live ball takeaways. I think Pitt wins this game - up 5 at the moment with a minute left to go until halftime.

That was a buy game for the Noles to get things done before playing us. Ouch!
Probably means a good half week of focused practices before they take us on. Gonna be a Q2, maybe Q3 game.

In addition to FSU losing to Lipscomb, UVA failed to break 60 and lost to ND on the road by 22 points. That's ND mind you, with a losing OOC record.
Syracuse outscored Pitt by 13 at the FT line and won by 8 at home.
Midway in the 2nd half Wake is by 25 over VT.
The ACC race looks like it could be a scramble this year.

Clemson seems underrated. We do, too. Are we really worse than FSU?

The ACC is the bad fan conference. No one will tell you about the bad ACC like an ACC fan.

Two very watchable games tonight:
UNC @ Pitt
Syracuse @ Duke
The betting lines on these two games seem to be flipped. UNC is a 4.5 favorite and Duke is favored by 14.5. Two points to consider: Cuse is a deep team and Duke is playing 6 guys. If this is close at the end Cuse will be dangerous. UNC is tough to beat in a sold-out Smith Center and this game could get away from Pitt early.

We know GT fans ain’t scared to bad mouth their team. Hell, we have some that still enjoy ****ting on our most recent ACC championship and back-to-back top 5 regular season finishes.

Duke was 0-9 in the 1st half from 3-point range last night, but Mark Mitchell owned the lane. In the 2nd half Mitchell returned to his normal imposing self and Duke went 8-8 from three. All the while Cuse was careless with the ball and could not hit threes even when open. I may become one those posters who gripes about officiating at Cameron. It was awful last night. It was not a factor in the outcome, but Cuse was a victim of the Duke officiating curse.
Carlton Carrington scored 20 for Pitt and they lost by 13 to UNC. UNC was not having having a great night shooting or this would have been a blowout. But, Pitt was heaving bricks last night (30% overall and 17% from three).
I did not see any of Wake's six point win at BC.
Our game at FSU is on the ACC Network tonight at 7 PM. This game and the next two (at home) are really big games for us before we crash into Duke (again) and Clemson on the road.
