This is as expected when conference play starts. Maybe not this many on the first full day but there will be upsets.
Some I was expecting, some eye opening, and others not so much.
A few on here are surprised by the VT game but honestly, I am not. Historically VT shrinks in big games, and they didn't utilize their post-game, but Clemson packed the paint and dared the Hokies to beat them from the outside and they couldn't. That sums up that game. Kitley/Soule were a combined 7-12 from the floor. Each of them should have had more shots. The VT guards were 10-34 (Amoore/King/Traylor). This is a game where Ashley Owusu would have had a field day with her dribble drive, but she is still sidelined. I don't know but watching VT sometimes is a head scratcher.
Florida State beating UNC is not that surprising for a few reasons. I have had FSU in my Boneyard poll for the last few weeks. Prior to the UCONN loss their lone defeat was a holiday tournament to Oklahoma State, and it was the first few games without Taylor Obrien and FSU couldn't hit the ocean with a beach ball. UNC has had to battle back in several games this season which they did and claim victories but at some point, it wasn't going to happen, and ACC play may very well see them do the same.
Duke has great pieces, and they may well be finally clicking for Coach Lawson. I couldn't be happier for
@triaddukefan and our other Duke friends on here. Taking out NC State at home is a huge win! I think NC State will be fine when Diamond Johnson returns, and Jada Boyd gets back in game shape.
Lastly, I think this is where Louisville makes its resurgence. While they are not ranked it wouldn't surprise me at all if they beat these teams and climb back into the top 25 and end in the upper part of the ACC.
Thursday nights are always so much fun for conference games and my eyes are looking at the ACC and SEC because I think they will beat up on each other.
Side not about the Big10 I do like Indiana, but it was also a matter of time before being without Grace Berger got them. I'm more shocked it took as long as it did. She is the glue for that team, and they missed her in their loss.
