Most ACC football teams have played three conference games. We still have two months of ACC football left in the regular season. Let’s ask a simple question: Do we know who is supposed to be good in the conference? It’s a fluid and unresolved question. Before the season, Louisville was expected to be good — …

I’m sure after exploding for 56 points and nearly 700 yards against a Virginia Tech, Tar Heel critics will say it was against a …

Group of 5 eliminations aren’t coming at their usual more steady pace (the Mountain West hasn’t even started playing), and the Power 5 conferences are starting in such different times …

The past two seasons Duke’s basketball lineups dripped with NBA first-round draft talent, but both rosters lacked one crucial element to balance the offensive attack. They needed a consistent three-point shooter. Small forward Joey Baker had his moments last year. He was 4-of-5 from three-point range and 6-of-7 from the field in Nov. 29 win …
