The Daily Roundup: Monday

The BEST ACC Basketball Coverage!!!

Getting your mind right:


The one for the other thumb: "The Steelers passed by Dallas and San Francisco, which had won five Super Bowls each. It's the second championship for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger."



THE BIG GAME: Does Super Bowl rival Heels vs. Devils for local businesses?: "Super Bowl Sunday is a boon for local bars. But it's no Duke-North Carolina basketball game."


The conference headlines:
Coach Yow mural defaced: "A mural in N.C. State University's Free Expression Tunnel to honor women's basketball coach Kay Yow was defaced Saturday with blue paint and offensive language." That's pretty low...whoever did that ougth to be ashamed....

DuPree: Triangle's 'Super' game on horizon: "The Super Bowl has come and gone, at least the official, NFL licensed version. There's always the "super bowl of" whatever sport or event -- auto racing, auto auctions, stamp trading ... probably karaoke, as well."

Caulton Tudor of the Raleigh News and Observer: Give Duke its due, but Virginia is pitiful. Duke, the ACC leader at 6-1 and 19-2 overall, possibly could be the best team around -- or at least the best team south of the Big East.




ACC in a bind again: "Just when Virginia Tech appeared to be stepping on the accelerator in its drive for an NCAA tournament bid...."

NBA beckons area talent : "It's been about 15 years since the ACC wasn't the premier provider of NBA talent, but the Big East took over that distinction last season."

Dan Wiederer of the FayOberver: Haters don’t faze Psycho T

LENOX RAWLINGS of the Winston-Salem Journal: Hansbrough feeds off adversity for Heels


Duke
Smith gets hot in Devils' victory: "Most Duke possessions start with the ball in point guard Nolan Smith's hand, but recently, Smith has been using his other hand more often to signal an offensive play."


Maryland
Terrapins top struggling 'Canes : "Miami met its match Saturday — a Maryland team as desperate for a win as the Hurricanes."

Georgia Tech


Florida State
Zzzz's at McD's? Troubled FSU WR Preston Parker gets DUI: "Preston Parker, a junior wide receiver at Florida State, was arrested early Saturday morning and charged with driving under the influence after a Tallahassee police officer found him asleep behind the wheel of his car in the drive-thru lane at a McDonald's near the FSU campus."



Wake Forest


North Carolina
Wolfpack feels wrath of Heels star: "UNC's Tyler Hansbrough's 31 points lead No. 5 Heels past N.C. State."

As signing day nears, Heels seem to lead state: "The future of college football in the Carolinas will come into focus Wednesday as players make their school choices official on national signing day."


NC State
Recruiting Analysis: N.C. State's class : "N.C. State’s class won’t win many national accolades, but Coach Tom O’Brien has won a lot of football games with similar players."

O'Brien's system works: "Tom O'Brien and the rest of the N.C. State coaching staff will rest easy Wednesday night, regardless of how recruiting analysts assess their class."


Clemson
Clemson awaits several recruits' decision
Defensive end Sam Montgomery of Greenwood visited Tennessee during the weekend and will announce Wednesday on ESPN.

QB McElveen headed to Clemson : "Shrine Bowl QB Donny McElveen II (6-3 190) of Summerville will enroll this summer at Clemson as a preferred walk-on."

Lockdown: Study links success to instate recruiting : "The recruiting battle lines between USC and Clemson have been redrawn the past few weeks. At least within the confines of the South Carolina map."
