A win is a win and no one should apologize for it, but let's be honest if Duke is truly the elite team in the ACC that was not an inspiring performance. The conference certainly is suffering from what football suffers from year in and year out...No title contender and no real horrible teams (Miami knocking off Ga.Tech). Although NC State made a strong case for horrible against Va. Tech. However, in some ways it is more entertaining because night in and night out it is anyones game. Just remember not to fill your brackets out with a bunch of ACC teams in the Elite 8.
Duke (already at 20 wins) will have a fantastic looking record when the season is over, but scratch beneath the surface and you will see a team that looks very similar to the last several years. They need the right draw to make through the first weekend of the NCAA tournament.
As for the Heels it has been quite a down year fresh of the National Championship. First it can't be stated enough this is not that Championship team (NO Hansbrough, Lawson, Ellington, and Green). Too many injuries, no leadership, too much youth, poor shooters, poor defensive effort, and too many turnovers, to name just a few.
An ugly win over Duke could have been what the doctor ordered, but instead they will have to get well against NC State this weekend. The Wolf Pack not too long ago whipped Duke and looked like a team that could make some noise. Instead they have settled into the ACC basement and for all the hoopla about next year b/c of the recruiting class coming in...just remember THIS YEARS TAR HEELS.
