Trevor Booker Helps Clemson Mash Duke

A quote from Mike Krzyzewski sums up Clemson’s absolute beatdown of Duke last night (punctuated by the above dunk), “Our players shouldn’t forget this loss. This is as bad as you can play. You can’t say ‘oh that’s okay’. Not if you’re wearing a Duke uniform.” It should be noted Duke hasn’t lost this badly since they were routed by UNLV in the 89-90 Championship game. The next thought is, has the ACC exposed itself as being not as good as once thought or, is it better than initially anticipated? Take a look at teams like Wake Forest, who has lost three out of four games, as well as the suddenly vulnerable Blue Devils, who have lost two of three.
Is this attrition from a very competitive league or are all the highly ranked ACC teams overrated?

I think all of the major conferences are just full of really good teams. You’ve seen what’s been happening with the aforementioned teams like Wake and Duke as well as Notre Dame, Pitt, GTown, UT, UK, etc.. It’s gonna be an interesting March to say the least.
