| What I See: BC/Maryland Second Half |
| 0000-00-00 00:00:00 |
8:42 Start of second half. Gary Williams advice according to our good friend, sideline reporter Jenn Hildreth: We have to calm down (let’s start with the coach) and we have to catch the ball and not drop it. Fantastic! That would be an important skill to learn if one were to maintain hopes of winning a conference basketball game.
8:45 As Roche hits a three, something just occurred to me. Roche barely played after he came out in the first half.&...

| HD Box: Duke 95, Michigan 67 |
| 0000-00-00 00:00:00 |
The Devils looked a little rusty at the start of the game, and neither team could hit anything from the field early in the first half. Duke started 4-17 from 2, and Michigan started 3-18. Duke got hot earlier than Michigan did, putting together a quick 11-0 run over 5 possessions that essentially put the game away. From that point on, the game played a little bit like a shootout - Michigan scored 51 points in its last 42 possessions, only to be out-gunned by Duke...

| 0000-00-00 00:00:00 |
Three days after opening up ACC conference play, Maryland and Boston College hosted non-conference opponents and dropped games. Maryland hosted Ohio and lost 61-55 (Box Score), as the Terps were outrebounded by 12 and shot poorly from the floor making just 40% of their field goal attempts. ...

After the long, dark teatime of the soul that is finals week, a handful of ACC schools swing back into action this weekend. Let's take a look at the matchups:NCSU v. SCSU:It's a matchup of the red-headed stepchildren of the state university systems in the Carolinas (well, sort of). The Pack is coming off back to back losses and the story everywhere is what in the h-e-double hockey sticks happened to Brandon Costner and Ben McCauley. Last year Mc...

The ACC jumped back into action after taking the last week off for the most part due to exams. The basketball action should pick back up this week before trailing off again for Christmas next week. Over the weekend, FSU, UNC, and Virginia Tech took on some challenging opponents while the rest of the games were pretty yawn-worthy. So, let's take a look at how those three games unfolded...

Over the past 2 weeks, we've seen some slowness on the site, and we'd like to apologize. We made some changes yesterday that should help with the problems, especially some of the timeout errors that users were seeing. The good news for us is that we have more people on the site this year than ever before, and it is forcing us to adapt, and as Mike Krzyzewski h...

| Duke/Virginia Preview; ACC Recap |

Lineup questions are present for both teams heading into the final conference opener. For Duke, the questions center around Thomas' ability to play, and speculation about just how small we'll go if he can't - personally, if he can't go, I'd like to see K have some fun and go uber-small at least once, with a Paulus, Smith, Scheyer, Nelson, Henderson lineup, and play press-and-gun basketball. Luckily for Duke, UVA's frontline consists of a whole lot of guys who bring nothing to the...

Clemson then went on a 17-2 run in the second half in large part due to forcing Duke into turnovers with their full court pressure, something the Tigers did not do in the first half. Ultimately, it was too little too late for Clems...
