#StayHealthy and practice social distancing Like we did with College Football, where we periodically checked in on the ACC COY race we are going to the same with College Basketball.

Wendell Moore didn’t shrink from the challenges – emphasis on plural. Moore snapped a season-long drought when the sophomore scored 25 points to lead the Blue Devils past Boston College 83-82 on Wednesday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
