Weekend Recap

The regular season is now over, and it's time for teams to look ahead to the ACC Tournament. But before that starts, let's look back at this weekend's games.

Duke earned the number one seed in the tournament with a beatdown of UNC. The Blue Devils took out any frustrations from the Maryland loss, embarrassing the Tar Heels. Duke ended up earning of a share of the regular season title with Maryland, who narrowly beat Virginia in Charlottesville. The Cavaliers were playing without best player Sylven Landesberg, who was suspended for the rest of the season. They were still able to make it a game, until an untimely technical foul called on Tony Bennett.

Virginia Tech got the biggest win of the weekend, beating Georgia Tech on the road. Playing without Dorenzo Hudson, the rest of the Hokies stepped it up and played one of their best games of the year. The home loss could prove very costly for the Yellow Jackets.

In other ACC action, Wake Forest got a much needed home win over Clemson. The Deacons had lost four games in a row but were able to hold off the Tigers for the win. Florida State escaped Coral Gables with a road win over Miami. The Canes missed a shot to win at the buzzer.

And NC State ended the regular season on a positive note, beating Boston College at home. The Wolfpack basically used one big run at the end of the game to win.

Coming up later this week, I'll look back at my preseason predictions, and look ahead to this weekend's ACC Tournament in Greensboro.
