The ACC had a heck of a day. So what have we learned from it, children?
THE ACC IS BETTER THAN THE BIG EAST: With Duke's win over Georgetown, the ACC is now 9-6 against the Big East in head-to-head matchups. With Pitt's loss, the ACC will most likely own the No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams in the nation ... with North Carolina still among the favorites to win the championship.
DUKE AND WAKE STROLL ON: Duke and Wake will most likely be the No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams come Monday (in some order). Both had solid wins over highly ranked foes. Wake's win at Clemson places them as the only undefeated team in the nation.
HAS NORTH CAROLINA FOUND ITS STROKE?: UNC has had some down points of late because their starting backcourt is underperforming. Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington have been off for the last few weeks and in the first half against Miami last night. In the second half, Ellington rained down seven threes and Lawson looked like the All-American guard he was at the beginning of the season. They now have to defend a 53-game home winning streak over Clemson on Wednesday.
CLEMSON IS STILL LEGIT: Yeah Clemson suffered its first loss of the season but I don't think the Tigers are going away. They have a great shot to win at Chapel Hill for the first time in 54 games on Wednesday. This team is deep, physical and has a lot of playmakers.
