Weekend Preview: February 18-19
As is always the case this time of year, there are a number of ACC games this weekend (February 18 & 19, 2012) in college basketball.
Saturday
At 1 p.m., Wake Forest travels to Miami. Wake Forest’s season is slipping away, but Miami is just starting to get grounded. The Hurricanes are 15-9.
In addition, Maryland travels to #22 Virginia. At 15-10, Maryland does not have room to lose many more games. Virginia is looking for its 20th victory.
But the big game at 1 p.m. is #20 Florida State at North Carolina State. Both teams are looking for their 19th win. And the Wolfpack will want to atone for the disappointing loss to Duke.
At 3 p.m., the disappointment bowl, with Georgia Tech traveling to Virginia Tech. Both of these teams expected to be several wins better than they are.
At 4 p.m., #8 North Carolina hosts Clemson. The Tar Heels are 22-4 on the season, but Clemson has surprised some teams this year.
Sunday
At 1p.m., #2 Syracuse travels to the always-challenging RAC to play Rutgers. The Orange needs to continue taking care of business.
The other future ACC member, Pittsburgh, hosts South Florida at 7 p.m. Pitt’s disappointing season continues.
The Sunday game of the week is #5 Duke at Boston College. Like North Carolina, Duke is 22-4 on the season.
