In Saturday’s ACC action, Virginia Tech wacked Washington 73-61, NC State took Penn State 89-78, Pitt clobbered Maryland-Eastern Shore 78-43, Clemson beat Radford 74-66, Louisville popped Kent State 83-70, Notre Dame topped Purdue 88-80 and most impressively UNC handled Gonzaga 103-90.
We weren’t sure what to make of this game. In fact we were so unsure that we favored both teams in our Friday Roundup.
It was a solid win by UNC but not a perfect one. The Tar Heels had 23 turnovers and while the Heels held Rui Hachimura to 5-14, Gonzaga shot 54.7% overall and hit 13-25 from three point range for 52%.
