Shelton Mitchell drops 22 points in Clemson’s win over NC State

Abdul-Malik Abu and Maverick Rowan led the Pack with 14 points and Terry Henderson also reached double figures with 10 points.

Tenth-seeded Wake Forest plays the second of three games on Tuesday against No. 15 Boston College.

“I think New York’s big enough for both of us”, Swofford said. Clemson never had the ball with a chance to tie from then on. In their first season under teenage coach Josh Pastner, Georgia Tech has been one of the ACC’s most pleasant surprises. “Play one game, then play another game”. A talented opponent such as Florida State, Virginia or Notre Dame could possibly be waiting for them in the championship game so the Tar Heels have to show resiliency and toughness in order to get through this tournament in one piece. He is also a three-time gold medal winning Basketball Hall of Famer with over 1,000 career wins (regardless of what the NCAA says).

Note: We could’ve put Duke in this category, but in no universe can the Blue Devils ever be considered a sleeper team. “All of a sudden, you’ve got Omer (Yurtseven) and Ted (Kapita) in there, maybe just not ready yet”. “It’s really fun for me to be look down court and find Bri or hit Orike on a drive or Marina for a 3”. But after missing the postseason last year, N.C. State hoped to bounce this year with Smith. “I’m going to stay on it because I want to win”. “We dealt with a lot of adversity, this is new”.

Duke: The Blue Devils were playing to secure a top-four seed in the ACC Tournament and the double-round bye that comes with it. If Clemson shuts him down, Duke becomes more limited and is forced to explore other options. Terry Henderson added 10 points.

Villanova (28-3, 15-3 Big East) – RPI: 1, KenPom: 2 – Villanova closed the regular season with an easy 81-55 win over Georgetown on the road. “That’s hard. He’s inexperienced”, Gottfried said. It’s no accident that current ACC members account for seven of the last 16 NCAA Champions and nine Final Four teams in the last 10 years. “Right now I’m focused on finishing up this semester strong and I look forward to making the decision after that”. After a brief stop at Brunswick Community College over the past few years, the ACC Barnstorming Tour is back at Brogden Hall for the first time since UNC’s Tyler Hansbrough was part of the all-star team.

Midway through the second half, he got trapped near the sideline by the Tigers and it led to a shot clock violation for the Wolfpack.

Duke: The Blue Devils will open play in the ACC Tournament in Wednesday’s second round. “It’s awesome for me to watch a guy like Frank, who I’ve been very close with throughout the year, just thrive out there”. That’s just part of the turf here.

New Hanover High School Coach Vertha Dixon-Wright said she’ll be happy to see White again.

It is interesting to note that this year’s Miami team has almost an identical record to the 2014-15 Hurricanes team that lost in the NIT finals. Therefore, they can not afford to leave it in the hands of others.

“There is no thought process, it’s the same thing as when we started the season”, he said. “So playing like this, might help us get better”. It’s jarring. He was a projected first-round draft pick heading into this season, someone forecast as a highly probable first-team All-America selection. He calls himself a dreamer and recalls sitting on UCLA’s bench as a coaching staff member when the Bruins won the 1995 National Championship – it’s a feeling he wants, an experience, to repeat as a head coach.
