ACC 2024-25 Season

[Rooster C.]

ACC went 5 - 0 but not without some drama. Miami made it closer than it should have been, SMU escaped in OT, and Cal defeated a tough Auburn squad by 4. Auburn has been on a west coast swing losing by 2 to Oregon Wednesday. Florida under-performed at in-state rival FSU.

Today's ACC games:

Davidson(2 - 2) at WF(3 - 2)
Robert Morris(2 - 2) at Pitt(4 - 1)
Elon(3 - 1) at VT(4 - 1)
BC(5 - 1) at Holy Cross(3 - 2)
#6 Notre Dame(4 -0) at #3 USC(4 - 0) ** The BIG GAME
#16 NC(3 - 1) at Ball State(4 - 0) could be trouble
GT(4 - 0) at S.Dakota St.(3 - 1) problem for GT

Prediction: ACC goes 4 - 3

I know she's an ACC homer, but still.

In other ACC news, we could possibly start the conversation about Rose Micheaux (VT) and All-ACC honors. Still got a long way to go, however.

 

[Rooster C.]

Well the ACC went 7 - 0 !!! Great day for the conference overall. Big win for Notre Dame and solid win for GT. Nobody choked - not even WF.

Today's Games:

S.Fla.(4 - 2) at #25 Louisville(3 -2) Jury still out on Louisville
Villanova(4 - 1) at #16 NC(4 - 1) Too close too call
Bethune-Cookman(2 - 3) at Virginia(4 -1)

 

[Rooster C.]

Well the ACC went 3 -0 today so another good day. Maybe I'm underestimating the conference. Nah.

 

[Rooster C.]

ACC games today : Lots of games today!

#16NC(6 - 1) vs Indiana(4 - 2) Could be interesting
#20 NC St.(3 - 2) vs Southern(0 -7)
Clemson(3 -1) vs UAB( 3 - 1)
#13 Duke(5 - 1) vs #9 KSU( 5 - 0) Does Duke have an answer for Ayoka Lee ?

Syracuse(2 -3) vs Missouri(5 -2)
#21 Oregon(6 - 0) vs GT(5 - 0) interesting match up
Ark.Pine-Bluff(2 - 4) at SMU(3 -3)
Cal Poly(3 -3) at Stanford(5 - 1)

The conference went undefeated last two days. Can the win streak continue? Nah

1). I was thinking the same but sadly it wasn't.

2). I think the better question would have been, does KSU have an answer for Ashlon Jackson??!!?? 12/19 FG and 6/9 3FG! Good thing too as Duke's bigs didn't have much success per the box score.

How did the $EC fare yesterday?

 

[CAbballfan2]

Georgia Tech with the win against Oregon!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Georgia Tech with the win against Oregon!

Handily too. Was Oregon just fooling everybody so far, or maybe Georgia Tech is sneaky good?

 

[GoChips20]

A little of both I think, but Georgia Tech’s guard rotation of Morgan/Dunn/Carnegie plus some effective undersized post play from Smith/Blackshear are good enough to be a top-7 or -8 team in the ACC.

I think the 6'6" Spaniard helped a little bit

 

[Rooster C.]

So the ACC with yet another dominant day going 8 - 1 overall! Only BC lost to a much better #18 Ole Miss squad.

Starting to believe in the ACC after NC's dismantling of Indiana, GT's impressive win over Oregon and Duke's victory over KSU. NC State, Clemson, Syracuse, SMU, and Stanford all with lopsided wins over inferior opponents.

Three great days in a row for the conference going 18 - 1 overall!!

Today's ACC match-ups: Only 3 games on the slate today but all intriguing contests. Let's see if the ACC can keep it going.

Cal(6 - 0) vs Mich. St.(6 - 0) Time to find out who's for real
Clemson(4 - 1) vs #23 Alabama(7 - 0) Can Clemson win?
Syracuse(3 - 3) vs Creighton(3 - 2) Can Syracuse win?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Cal(6 - 0) vs Mich. St.(6 - 0) Time to find out who's for real

that one caught my eye looking at the next slate of games coming up

 

[FanInNC]

Not as confident in my conference brethren today but maybe they can surprise. In general Clemson doesn’t fare well against quality teams. Don’t know much about creighton this year but Syracuse has not impressed at all.

And it's on cable versus a streaming service which is nice.

 

[Rooster C.]

Well the ACC went a miserable 0 - 3 today. Clemson was destroyed, Syracuse got spanked, and Cal lost a close one.
Cal actually had control of that game until their sole big fouled out with 5 minutes to go. After that, Michigan State took over.

Over the last four days conference is now 18 - 4

A side note: I watched the Arizona/Vandy game and it was a battle. I'm here to tell you Jada Williams is the real deal. Vandy's duo of Blakes/Pierre combined for 48 of team's total 71 points.

 

[Rooster C.]

Wednesday's games:

#20 NC St.(4 - 2) vs #7 LSU(7 - 0) Expect Mulkey to pound the ball inside knowing NC State's achilles heel. Combo of Smith/Morrow will be tough to stop.
Cal(6 - 1) vs AZ(6 - 2) in a good match-up of former Pac-12 teams. They are very familiar with each other so should be a close one.
Fairfield(3 -2) at WF(4 - 2) Fairfield should win this
#13 Duke(6 - 1) vs #8 Oklahoma(6 - 0) Defense vs Offense.
Btw how does a Duke team who beat #9 KSU at a neutral site remain at #13 - ONE SPOT BEHIND now #12 KSU ???
BC(6 - 2) vs Ore.St.(1 - 5) Even BC can win this one


Outside of the ACC's two or three big games there are 3 other must-see games as well tomorrow. There will be a few less undefeated teams when the day is done.
