Down goes just about everybody. Duke, Florida State, North Carolina, and NC State all dropped games to unranked ACC opponents over the past week.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Louisville kicked off the upsets Saturday, handing UNC its worst home loss under Roy Williams, 83-62. Three Cardinals had 17-point scoring afternoons, including Steven Enoch off the bench. No Tar Heel scored more than 12 points, and the team shot a combined 3-of-22 from 3-point range.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Without Zion Williamson for much of the game, Duke escaped against Florida State on Saturday. RJ Barrett scored 32 points, and Cam Reddish hit a 3-pointer in the final seconds in the Blue Devils 80-78 win.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
While Duke squeaked out a win Saturday, the Blue Devils weren\u2019t so lucky on Monday night against Syracuse. Williamson returned after exiting Saturday\u2019s game and dropped 35 points, but Tre Jones left with a shoulder injury. Cam Reddish also missed the game with the flu. The game went to overtime, where Paschal Chukwu and Tyus Battle took over for the Orange. Battle had a season-high 32 points and Chukwu, a key big man for Syracuse, grabbed a career-high 18 boards.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Florida State, the team that had taken Duke to the limit 48 hours earlier, came out flat Monday is a loss to Pittsburgh. The Panthers, led by freshman Trey McGowen\u2019s 30 points, upset the Seminoles 75-62. Xavier Johnson chipped in 18 points and Au\u2019Diese Toney recorded 8 rebounds. The three, all freshman, are surprising many as the leaders of a Pitt team that had been projected to finish in the ACC\u2019s basement for the foreseeable future.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
NC State became loser No. 4 Tuesday against Wake Forest, after a 71-67 loss in Winston-Salem. The Demon Deacons blew a 51-29 second-half lead but held on for the win. NC State tied the game at 58 but never led in the contest.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Lost in a tough week for the ACC was a dominant week for the undefeated Virginia Cavaliers, who beat Clemson by 20 and No. 9 Virginia Tech by 22. Virginia is 16-0 and hasn\u2019t had to sweat out a many, if any, of those 16 wins. The Cavaliers have more 30-plus point wins (5) than single-digit victories (4). Their four ACC wins have been by an average of 20.5 points.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
ACC play returns in a big way Saturday, highlighted by those same Cavaliers traveling to Cameron Indoor Stadium to take on No. 1 Duke. Virginia Tech-North Carolina and NC State-Louisville highlight other conference games during the upcoming week.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The ACC\u2019s top teams dropping games this past week is more a product of the deep conference cannibalizing itself than concerning struggles. Eight ACC teams are currently in Joe Lunardi\u2019s bracket projections, including two No. 1 seeds, Duke and UVA. That\u2019s the great thing about ACC play: fans are treated to Tournament-caliber matchups on the daily.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
All ACC teams are still at or above .500. Wake Forest has the worst overall record at 8-8, but 9-7 Boston College is the only team without an ACC win.<\/div>\n
