The Daily Roundup: Wednesday

The BEST ACC Basketball Coverage!!!

Getting your mind right:
Selfish Burress blowing it all
: "Plaxico Burress had to know he was a dead man walking when he arrived alone at Giants Stadium on Tuesday morning. But how alone he felt when he left six hours later is impossible to fathom."

Notre Dame official: Weis will be back for 2009: "Charlie Weis will return for a fifth season as Notre Dame's football coach despite posting his second straight disappointing season." Madness....

The Conference Headlines:

Caulton Tudor of the Raleigh News and Observer: Johnson's arrival is ACC's gain - "There have been times in the past when winning the ACC coach-of-the-year award in football was worth less than its weight in turkey feathers."


Duke
Scheyer feels right at home for Devils : "Guard Jon Scheyer's 'homecoming' game is a happy one as his 20 points help Duke improve to 10-0 in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge."


Clemson
Tigers force turnovers to claw their way back
: "Demontez Stitt scored 18 points and Trevor Booker had 16 to lead Clemson from behind to a 76-74 men's basketball victory over Illinois on Tuesday night in the 10th annual ACC-Big Ten Challenge."



NC State

North Carolina
Meineke seems to like UNC : "North Carolina's football team appears to be the choice of the Meineke Car Care Bowl in Charlotte."

Healthy Lawson is back up to speed: "Considering the way he's playing right now -- blowing by defenders, protecting the ball, making steals -- it would be easy to think there's something new going on with North Carolina point guard Ty Lawson."

Williams, Heels get to see what they missed: "At one time, it seemed distinctly possible that Roy Williams would watch Delvon Roe play all his college games. Now North Carolina’s coach will have to settle for watching the talented Michigan State freshman from the sidelines tonight when the top-ranked Tar Heels face Michigan State at Detroit’s Ford Field in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge."

Hansbrough's status uncertain: "The first words out of the mouth of UNC coach Roy Williams at Tuesday’s news conference were “I don’t know.”"

Boston College
Eagles hold on, escape Hawkeyes' challenge

Miami
McClinton ejected; Canes blow big lead
: "The contact during a scrum Tuesday night prompted the ejection of Miami scoring leader Jack McClinton, and the Buckeyes went on to erase a 14-point second-half deficit and beat the 21st-ranked Hurricanes 73-68."


Virginia
Gophers make things tough for Cavaliers
: "Freshman Colton Iverson had 14 points and seven rebounds to lead Minnesota to a 66-56 victory over Virginia on Tuesday night."
