ACC Basketball Games for this Weekend






The UNC Tarheels will be playing their first game since a road loss to Clemson as they face the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in a home game that will be broadcast on ESPN tomorrow at 2 p.m. I think the 'Heels will win by four points. If you're in Chapel Hill, NC, for the game tomorrow, you may want to stop by Chapel Hill Comics which has a special fundraiser going on for the Haiti earthquake disaster.

Other ACC games include the following:

Clemson @ North Carolina State- noon

Maryland @ Boston College- 4 pm

Virginia Tech @ Florida State- 6 pm

Miami (Fla) @ UVA- 8 pm

Wake Forest @ Duke- 8 pm (Sun)

I like Clemson, BC, Virginia Tech, UVA and Duke in these games. I think the Clemson-Nc St. game will be very close as the Wolfpack seem to be an improved team over last season.

Two major Big East games will take place this weekend too as Syracuse goes to Morgantown, W.Va., to face West Virginia U at noon (another ESPN game). On Sunday, Georgetown goes to Philly for a noon-time game with Villanova. I'll go with WVU and Georgetown though the 'Hoyas would pull an upset if they beat 'Nova.

UPDATE: All three of the teams featured in images for this blog lost that weekend. The UNC Tarheels' men's baskeball team is actually in the middle of a three-game losing streak as of today (1/25)

Silly Photo to Fill Space- Hokie Bird





Since the Virginia Tech Hokies will face the University of North Carolina Tarheels in a nationally televised game in Blacksburg, Va., on ESPN on Thurs., Oct. 29, I thought I would feature photos of both school's mascots. I happen to live on the Virginia-North Carolina border, and I've learned it's smart to root for the Hokies during football season and the 'Heels come basketball season.
