North Carolina vs. Maryland
NC- 80
Mary - 82

UCLA vs. USC
UCLA - 63
USC - 72

Honestly I like the NC upset since I am a Duke fan and that means that NC is now 3-1 in the ACC but Duke is 3-0 right now:D. But I am not surprised that Maryland beat NC. NC has been playing bad ball lately and they should have lost a few games ago. They got lucky to remain undefeated as long as they did.

Both UCLA and NC have dropped in the rankings too. UCLA is now #8 and NC is now #5. Last week NC was #1 and UCLA was #4.

I think the UCLA lost is more surprising due to everybody knows that no ACC team will make it thru the conference schedule without a lose. The ACC is a much better conference then the PAC10 from top to bottom.

As for Duke being 3-0 and UNC being 3-1. UNC will make up the game when they beat Duke twice this year.

Come on now. You can't honestly sit there and think that NC will beat Duke twice. That's just wrong. No way will NC beat them. The only thing that NC has that Duke doesn't is a dominate force in the paint. But get Hansbrough in foul trouble and that game is over. Duke can hand with NC with the perimeter shooting and passing. I think that Duke has a better fast break team too. If you can put Hansbrough in foul trouble and have more fast break points then I don't care what team you are, NC will fall.

Coach K and Coach Williams battling it out on the court. Going to be some good games. Two of the greatest coaches of all time.

I think that UNC will win the acc regular season title, but the acc tournament i don't know about. I think they will get a #1 seed in the big dance and make the final four. From there it depends on who they match up with. There isn't many teams in the country that I think can beat them. Every good team is going to lose about 3 to 4 games this year. So, I'm just glad that they got one of them out of the way already.

As for the Duke & UNC games, it will probally be a split with each team winning on their homecourt. But, both games will be great. The only team that might go with out a loss is memphis, but their strength of schedule is so weak.

Maryland is a good team, but not an elite team. I bet they beat Duke once this year also. The ACC is just so good you never know when an upset is coming.

Yeah Memphis is looking really good this year. I have known it was coming these past few years. They just keep getting better and better. I look for them to make it really deep into the big dance.

Maryland is a good team. As far as beating Duke, we will see. I mean everyone said that they would lose to NC and we know how that turned out. But yes trip the ACC is too good of conference for any one team to go undefeated in conference play.
