ACC Roundup - Two Great Escapes, Two Blowouts

In Saturday’s ACC Action, Pittsburgh fell to Virginia, 73-66, Virginia Tech survived Miami 80-76 in overtime, Clemson dropped Syracuse 78-61, Clemson nipped Notre Dame 82-80 and, in one of the sadder ACC games in recent times, NC State pounded Boston College 81-65.

State went on a 37-3 run - but it was predictable.

BC, the worst team in the ACC, had only six scholarship players available. What did anyone expect would happen?

State ran wild for much of the game and at one point was up 37-8.

To their credit, the Eagles kept trying but this game was gone early and there was no getting it back.
