The big east has been tough on nc st. near misses @ v tech & miami fla. rapped and baged by bottom feeders w virg & st johns ; but these guy played with washington.maryland has 2 wins -vs- acc powers virg & fla st.By the way what is marys quality win thus far?My point,the acc is a little tender in the middle on down. Nc ST will play in their class today, and have a huge chance against this team that they beat on their home court last time. Smith gone for mary ,heart and only tough guy. STATE will miss Melvin but with additions:brackman, grant,collins ,this is going to be a good acc team.Maryland adds gist and bowers,no one to replace smith.If state has learned anything from their big east experience,they will play this one in the paint and kick ass.TAKE THE POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
