The ACC Sunday Night Hoops tripleheader starts with two big non-conference games before wrapping up with a Top 25 league clash.
Clemson-Duke Highlights Sunday ACC (And A-10, And SEC) Hoops
- Florida looks to get back on track against decent opposition in Raleigh, where they'll meet the Wolfpack, another team that's been a bit inconsistent so far this season. The Gators won a thriller when these two met in Gainesville last season. Visit SB Nation's Florida blog, Alligator Army, and N.C. State blog, Backing The Pack, for info on this one.
- Xavier travels to Wake Forest for the first annual Skip Prosser Classic, a matchup to honor the memory of the man who experienced great success as a head coach at both schools. Fittingly, this game will feature two competitive teams with legitimate NCAA hopes. Our Wake blog, Blogger So Dear, will have full coverage of this one.
- The nightcap is a big one, as 7th-ranked Duke hosts No. 21 Clemson in an early ACC test. The Blue Devils have been cruising lately. (Look at their 114-55 win over Penn on New Year's Eve.) However, the Tigers struggled last time out, only topping South Carolina State by three on Tuesday. Shakin The Southland will provide Clemson coverage, and I'm pleased to welcome the Duke Basketball Report, our new Blue Devils blog. (Please excuse the appearance, they'll be migrated over here soon.)
There’s also a busy slate of Big East and Big Ten basketball. You can follow those games here.
FINAL: Florida 62, N.C. State 61 (OT)
The Gators’ Chandler Parsons hit a 70-footer at the buzzer to steal the victory from the Wolfpack.
