Who had Louisville as the last undefeated team at this point of conference play? Considering they're still figuring themselves out I know I didn't.

Who had NC State in 8th place in the ACC standings - yesterday?
 
TGIF @triaddukefan - IYHO, was Duke's win last night a sign of things to come, or was it more that VA Tech couldn't make baskets, Kitley only one in double figures, and Amore getting hurt?

Its all about turnovers. Our biggest weaknesses has been being turnover prone. A combination of carelessness and being too aggressive. If we can keep them to 14 or less check we will win most of our remaining games. There isn't a game on the rest of out schedule that we can't win. Conversely we can lose to anyone outside of Wake, Pitt, and UVA.

I completely agree, Apple turnovers are my favorite but I wouldn't turn down a Blueberry or Cherry Turnover if one was offered...:cool:

Blueberry Turnover?

Apple turnovers are tremendous... Especially warmed up with a dab of whipped cream on top. The absolute best though were the Chocolate ones that Arby's used to sell... And they had a drizzle of icing on the top. I actually broke down and wept at the counter when they told me that they discontinued them.

It's still kind of early in the conference season. There will be lots of shifting of positions in the top 8 as the schedule plays out. I would say that Louisville (5-0) has had an easy time of it so far (with their games against bottom-feeders Pitt and Wake)...but NC State has also beaten bottom-feeder Virginia twice. NC State, though, has played two ranked teams in their first 5 ACC games...Louisville has played zero but gets their first try against UNC on the road Sunday.

The unbalanced schedule, and the designated pods, play a role in the final standings. Based on how things stand after just a handful of games played for each team, one would think that Louisville, Florida State and Syracuse have an early advantage over the others for claiming one of the top 4 seeds (and that precious double-bye) at the ACCT.

I wouldn't count anyone out. Duke beat UVA by only 4 and they play again late when desperation and injuries pile up. Pitt can be trouble at Pitt especially if the refs get involved. And maybe Duke might get an injury before Wake. Pretty much anything can happen in the ACC in any game.

I’m assuming you meant Duke beat UVA by only 4.

Duke ain't losing to Wake. I'll walk to Wake's campus with a Paper Bag on my head if we lose to the Demon Deacons.

What happened to FSU, they are getting clobbered by @triaddukefan Blue Devils by 41 with a little over 3 minutes to go in the game 81-40. FSU has a goose egg in the 4th so far.

Wow, this is a really surprising game. Duke scored 24, 24 and 24 at the 2, 3 and 4th quarter to beat FSU 81 - 40.

Final score was 88-46.
 
I went back and checked my preseason ACC predictions.. Looks like I was off a bit on Syracuse, and a few others

Didn't get to watch the Duke vs FSU game, but I'm guessing the Duke guard play was a big reason why they dominated. If Duke can bring in some solid BIGs next season, Duke is going to take a HUGE leap forward as a team.

Box score shows FSU shot 22% for the game...and Duke was around 55%.
 
My educated guesses for next years rivals.

Syracuse Boston College
Pitt SMU
ND Louisville
Stanford Cal
UVA VPI
State Wake
Duke The Evil Empire
Clemson GaTech
Miami FSU

Wouldn't Fournier be considered a solid big or are you thinking someone 6'4" and taller?
