Zam Jones badly twisted her ankle and had to leave the game with Cal early in the 4th quarter. She will miss time. Meanwhile, it is official now that Lorena Awou has left the NC State team.

Nice win today without Tilda playing. Zam injured her ankle in the final minute no less! Heard she was in a wheel chair after the game but maybe that’s standard stuff out of precaution. Wes indicated he suspected it may be a situation where she has to miss a few games. Big blow for the Pack, she had been really playing well.

Opportunity for Quigley and Lunan to show what they can do.

And Awou to Baylor - kinda thought she may drop down to Southern Illinois, she had a sister going there. Figured she’d put up good numbers at a place like that and then move up a level again. She has the talent to succeed but has to get it straight between the ears.

Notre Dame and UNC play Thursday; one of them will have 3 conference losses before the first week of January is over.

They play Sunday. UNC has the week off and ND plays BC on Thursday. The ND-UNC game is basically a regular season title elimination one.
 
With so many teams and unbalanced schedules, it's probably going to take a while to really make sense of things in the conference standings. 1-3 Virginia Tech is currently pounding 3-1 Syracuse, on the road. Some pretenders have managed to get off to good starts like the Orange and also UVa.

70-44 midway thru Q4.


edit--Syracuse is actually 13-2 for the season, but it's mostly a nothing burger. Wins against Utah and Auburn. Crushed by Michigan. Lost by 20 to Duke. Looking to top that margin today.

Okay, I still can't make heads or tails of this conference. Today Syracuse drilled Virginia on the road 79-60.

edit--whoa, Phelia went off w/ 38 points today, I keep forgetting she's w/ Cuse now; only averaging 12.5 ppg for the season but she was feeling it today.

Finally completely healthy for the first time in a month, all 10 Wolfpack Women scored in a 91-54 win for NC State over SMU. Zam Jones, who was out in Thursday's loss at Clemson due to an ankle injury, came off the bench to reach double figures (15). Leading scorer tonight was UCONN transfer Qadence Samuels, who scored a career high 16 points.
 
Qadence has been all over the place. Her last 3 games have been a roller coaster. I thought the Cal game was her best in a Wolfpack uniform. She followed that up at Clemson with her worst game of the year. And now set a new personal best against SMU.

She was a real spark tonight with energy, defense, rebounding and was highly efficient. 7-10 and 2-4 from 3. 2 of her misses she got her own rebound and scored.

Tilda and Khamil both had double doubles in limited action. Combined 12-16 from the field between them.

SMU is pretty bad. Didn’t really have much of anything that stood out on that team.

I think the conference lacks high end teams so you get alot of weird results. There is a clear basement with SMU, Pitt and BC (GT, FSU and WF not far away) but the there isn’t a huge gulf between teams like Miami, Syracuse, Clemson, Va Tech, UVA, and Cal.

I still am holding onto my belief that Duke, State and UL will finish as the top teams when it’s all said and done.

Yep. I think those kinds of wins are what GT, FSU and even WF are capable of and what separates those schools from Pitt and BC.

GT is a weird one so far, they have played a couple of respectable teams : State and ND, a couple of bubble type teams: Clemson and UVa and a couple of bottom tier teams: WF and SMU. They beat ND, only lost to UVA and WF by a combined 3 points, beat Clemson and SMU and got dragged in Raleigh. Within the conference they have been pretty decent, but man outside of the conference they have had some ugly results.

Clemson is just an ordinary team. They have some pretty decent guards and multiple players can shoot it, but they aren't dominant athletically or physically. I think they are pretty well coached though from what I've seen.
 
Basically what the ACC results show is a league of mediocre parity. Arguably the top team is Louisville, but they are an underdog at ND this week.

To me, only Louisville and Duke belong in any top 16 and host team consideration in the NCAAT. The rest of the season will play that out but the fact that some of the "blue bloods" of the ACC get throttled by middling teams just proves they are not elite worthy.

UNC, which is littered with McDonald's All-Americans, continues to underachieve and seems to choke in EVERY big game. NC State is very inconsistent, and ND is simply the "Hannah show" with a rotating cast of support players by game. I would be very sad if this conference garners 7 or 8 bids given how poor the teams have looked but given the state of the rest of the potential field, the ACC may get that many.

Hey @triaddukefan you need to private chat me to get my home address where you will need to send "cheer wine" and some bbq given all the support I have been tossing your way these past few weeks on the very good play of the Blue Devils....
