Clemson not looking good so far. Miami we’ll see. It’s survive and advance so no style points necessary for the winners, but not impressive so far.

UNC, sent packing right off the bat by VCU. Duke was a huge favorite and struggled badly before finally pulling away from Siena. Louisville was favored yet narrowly escaped South Florida. UVA was on the ropes big time vs Wright State and somehow got it together. NC State and SMU got bounced immediately, before the tournament could even begin. Clemson slogged thru a loss to Iowa. Miami may be able to salvage a little something here if they can beat Missouri. At this point, I’m now even less impressed by the Hokies’ dud showing in the ACC this season. This league clearly ain’t all that. Good thing we weren’t in a tough conference. We’d have really gotten our azzes whipped.

Nobody will remember any of that if the ACC can have a team (Duke seems like the only chance if they can get past their injuries) win a Championship, but it hasn't been the best look for the conference out of the gates.
