Duke’s basketball roster lacks a Christian Laettner or Grayson Allen. Not even a J.J. Redick. In other words, there are no villains to dislike.

What a wild day in ACC basketball. Some teams solidified their NCAA resume – looking at Clemson and UNC. A couple of teams pulled out wins from near certain defeat – Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech; keeping Georgia Tech near the bubble, and Virginia Tech near the top of the ACC. Duke, Syracuse and Pitt …
