There are always intriguing situations when ACC Basketball is about to get going. This year, we have several: 1) How will Duke do with Jon Scheyer as head coach? 2) How will UNC follow up on last year’s spectacular closing stretch? 3) What will see in Year II from Earl Grant’s BC?
In his first season, Grant made huge progress. The record was vastly better but that’s no major surprise. Jim Christian’s last season was the Covid Year and BC was hit as hard as anyone. He finished 3-13. That’s a whole lot of missed games due to Covid and, if memory serves, there was at least one where BC only had four scholarship players available.
