ACC Basketball: NC State, Syracuse survive, Va Tech and Louisville cruise in 2nd round
The second day of the ACC Basketball Tournament was an exciting one. Here’s a look at the reactions from the second round.
The Clemson Tigers gave ACC basketball fans a master class in how not to win a game as they dropped yet another game to the NC State Wolfpack with their NCAA Tournament life on the line. The Tigers could find themselves on the list of snubs on Selection Sunday after letting a golden opportunity slip away.
The NC State Wolfpack, on the other hand, came together and played well when things got tight. They trailed by as many as 18 points, but they clawed their way all the way back in the second half to secure a decisive victory.
The Wolfpack weren’t the only team to get a win on Wednesday, either. The Virginia Tech Hokies and Louisville Cardinals cruised to easy victories over the Miami Hurricanes and Notre Dame Fighting Irish in their second-round matchups in the ACC Tournament.
