ACC Roundup: NC State-Miami & Caleb Free UNC Are The Highlights

SB Nation

In Saturday’s ACC Action, Georgia Tech flies up to South Bend to take on Notre Dame, Cal is on the Northeast will take on Boston College, Pitt is at UNC, Florida State takes on Virginia Tech in Cassell,

SMU plays Syracuse, Stanford meets the Joel as the Cardinal takes on Wake Forest, and Miami gets NC State on the road.

Louisville and Virginia step out of conference to play Baylor and Ohio State respectively.

The best games will probably be in Durham (Clemson is in town) and Raleigh, where Miami has the momentum but State is going to be seriously angry after the thermonuclear destruction Louisville dropped on them last time out. That one could be spectacular.

However, don’t overlook Florida State and Virginia Tech. We’re really excited about the job that Luke Loucks is doing in Tallahassee and Virginia Tech has shown it is a very tough out. Don’t overlook this one.

However, Chapel Hill will also get a ton of attention as the Tar Heels are without Caleb Wilson. Out with a fracture in his left wrist, we’ll find out what UNC can do without their star freshman. Our guess is they’ll do fine on Saturday, largely due to an emotional edge. Long play, though? Not a great outlook. He’s the heart of hat team and their prospects are limited without him. It won’t be easy.

The other games? We might get something worthwhile but from a distance, none of them look particularly promising. Maybe we’ll get lucky.
