The Daily Roundup: FreeThrowFriday

The BEST ACC Basketball Coverage!!!

Getting your mind right:
The Weekend Smoke from the StogieGuys.com - Stogie Reviews: Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 3 (Cuban). Get over there!!!


Hawaii wary of Georgia: "Hawaii coach June Jones is reluctant to watch any more Georgia game film." Georgia is the team that ought to be wary...

Bowden pitches son Terry for W.Va. job: "Dad's good word to the governor might just be the boost Terry Bowden needs." Back to the future?

Support for Vick misguided: "If Atlanta Falcons players want to show their support for Michael Vick, they can. They can set up informational picket lines at shopping malls." Have to agree with this...not good for job security anywhere in the league.


The conference headlines:
3 arrested in assault on UNC football players: "Two women and one man have been charged with robbing and kidnapping three UNC football players on Sunday and sexually assaulting at least one of them." Very strange case.....

Michael Cunningham: Cupcake wins leave 'Canes bit of a mystery : "Welcome back to big-time college basketball, Miami Hurricanes."


Duke
Duke in the PITTs: Blue Devils blow double-digit lead for first loss of season: "In a sport where two hours of battling back and forth often comes down to two seconds, a loss like the one the Duke Blue Devils suffered Thursday night can be tough to take."


Clemson
Source: Spence to interview at Tennessee: "When suitors come calling, Clemson offensive coordinator Rob Spence continues to listen. Spence could interview for Tennessee’s vacant offensive coordinator position as soon as today, according to a source familiar with the situation."
Scott asks for NFL projection: "Add defensive tackle Dorell Scott to the list of Clemson underclassmen who have sought draft projections from the NFL advisory committee."

Rivers revs Tigers in second half:"Clemson needed a little time to get warmed up after a two-week break for final exams. K.C. Rivers had 21 points and 11 rebounds to help No. 15 Clemson beat Division II Puerto Rico-Mayaguez 90-73 on Thursday in the San Juan Shootout."

Men's basketball Oglesby finds his long range:"Even by his standards, Terrence Oglesby was shocked when he peeked at his feet. A long distance jumpshooter by trade, Oglesby had nailed another lengthy jumper with seconds left in a fall league scrimmage before his senior season at Bradley Central High in Cleveland, Tenn."


Georgia Tech
GRANT OUT: "Senior running back Rashaun Grant (ankle) will miss the Humanitarian Bowl against Fresno State."



North Carolina
UNC hopes to learn from stinker of a win : "The practice didn’t appear to be as brutal as expected. Nobody vomited, at the very least."


NC State
Lowe: Wolfpack needs to mesh: "State, playing Davidson tonight, has used many substitution patterns."


N.C. State Notebook: "Lowe will player hardest workers; coach wants more noise."


Wake Forest


Boston College
Boston College gears up for bowl game: "The mind-set at Boston College is that of any game week. Practices and implementing the game plan."


Maryland



Florida State

Wetherell: Coaches not to blame for academic-misconduct issue: "T.K. Wetherell said he can't predict what the NCAA will do once it has received Florida State's final report early next year regarding academic misconduct among student-athletes."

FSU: Testing scandal complex :"No one asked a Florida State University tutor to divvy out test answers to students. But that's what happened during the fall 2006 and spring 2007 semesters."

DeMercy's drive seems a lot like Wilson's: "Freshman Jordan DeMercy isn't reluctant to send his 6-foot-6, 205-pound frame crashing to the floor. It should look familiar to Florida State basketball fans — right down to the buzz cut."


Virginia Tech
