Edit: I’m a retard. When I orginally wrote this, I completely forgot about USC – Clemson even though the game was going on when I wrote it. I had even just checked the score! So I’m fixing that now.
There was an ACC – SEC Challenge today. Of sorts. By pure coincedence, there were four ACC – SEC games today. The ACC won all four. Now the Big 10 has a shoulder to cry on.
Carolina hosted #8 Kentucky and led the whole game before winning by 13. If you hadn’t noticed, this Heels team is very good.
Florida State went on the road and beat a pretty weak Ole Miss squad. With the Seminoles’ shaky start though, this was a key win.
The big surprise of the day was Miami knocking off #19 Florida. In Gainesville, no less. It’s starting to sound like Miami has quite a set of three scoring guards. The depth of the ACC’s guards just crossed the border from ridiculous and has moved over to sublime.
In the fourth and most exciting game of the day, Clemson knocked off rival South Carolina in overtime. The Tigers’ Cheyenne Moore hit a three in the waning seconds to win the game.
Four games. Four ACC wins. And three of those wins came from three of the four unranked ACC teams. It was a good day.
On Sunday, Georgia Tech takes on rival Georgia. Could it be a sweep? I say yes.
ps. Kudos to Ken Pomeroy for being the first to email me about missing the Clemson game!
