Saturday's ACC Action:

Well you can't say Miami didn't have its chances. Duke played about as bad offensively in the first half as I've ever seen them play, and Miami was up 13 at halftime. But they couldn't put Duke away, and Blue Devils came storming back at home. It took a Jack McClinton long 3 to send the game into overtime. But Miami could not score until the last minute of overtime, losing by three. This is the third overtime loss in the ACC this year for the Hurricanes. And if they don't make the tournament this year, they will look at this game as the one that kept them out. It will be interesting to see what happens on Wednesday when Duke hosts Carolina. If they played like they did in the first half today, they have no shot against the Heels.

I really have no explanation for how FSU won at Clemson today. I turned the game off when Clemson was up by almost 20 in the second half and when I flicked back Clemson was only up by 1 with 2 minutes left. And Florida State made the plays down the stretch. This is a huge win for them and has to be a big disappointment for the Tigers.

UNC handled Virginia, no big surprise there. It was fairly close in the first half, but that was only because UNC was not shooting well at all.

In other news, Davidson's streak of 43 straight conference wins came to an end. Congrats to Bobby Cremins' Charleston squad. And the free fall continues for Notre Dame and Georgetown. The Irish lost their 7th in a row, blown out by UCLA. And the Hoyas lost at home in overtime to Cincinnati. Both of these teams are in danger of going to the NIT.
