ACC Basketball Roundup, 11/15

NC State 66, William & Mary 47
J.J. Hickson makes a splash in his collegiate debut, scoring 31 on 12 of 12 shooting. The freshman also grabbed 7 rebounds. Brandon Costner started the year with a double double of 13 points and 12 rebounds. Next up: New Orleans (11/18).

Clemson 84, Mississippi State 82
Shameless Gunner Terrance Oglesby scored 17 points in 19 minutes, including 3 of 7 from 3 point land, as the Tigers held off an upstart Bulldog squad. Jamont Gordon scored 23 for Miss State. Next up: Old Dominion (11/18).

Miami 85, Marist 61
In Puerto Rico, Miami jumped out to an 18 point half time lead and never looked back in dismantling the Jared Jordan-less Red Foxes. Anthony King led a balanced scoring attack with 13 points, and every player for the Hurricanes scored at least 4. Next up: VCU (11/16).

Maryland 73, Northeastern 71 (OT)
The Terps needed overtime, even shooting 46 free throws, to hold off Northeastern. James Gist scored 27, Bambale Osby recorded a double double with 16 and 13, and Greivis Vasquez had 10 assists. Again, the bench was nonexistant, with all 5 starters playing at least 32 minutes, and Vasquez playing 43. Next up: UCLA (11/19).
