The ACC schedule got underway two weekends ago with a loaded slate of mediocre basketball across the league. The Virginia Cavaliers fell to SMU in Dallas (and brutally failed to cover an 11-point spread), while each of the league’s likely NCAA Tournament teams (Duke, North Carolina, Clemson, and Pittsburgh) took care of business.
Since then, the league has been back to getting beat up in non-conference matchups against the rest of the ‘power five’ while narrowly squeaking out wins against the likes of Bethune-Cookman and Stonehill.
On the ‘best bets’ front, it was a rough start to say the least in week one.
