ACC Basketball Roundup, 11/16

Two teams off the mainland today in tournament action, plus FSU taking on UAB in Daytona.


Georgia Tech 82, Charlotte 77
While listening to this game on the radio at work today, I was scared that the Jackets wouldn't be able to hold on, but, alas, they came out on top. Anthony Morrow as huge again in scoring 19, and the Jackets shot 52% from the field and 74% from the line. Charlotte made 11 threes that kept them in the game, led by Leemire Goldwire and Anjuan Wilderness with 17 apiece. Next up: Winthrop (11/18, Paradise Jam semi-finals).


Miami 69, VCU 63
A big win for the Hurricanes over a solid Rams club. Eric Maynor, the national hero after the Duke game in the NCAA tournament last year, led VCU with 27, but Jack McClinton countered with 23. Neither team shot well from the floor, but Miami was 27 of 32 from the line, which was the difference in this one. Next up: Providence (11/18, Puerto Rico Tip-Off Championship).


Florida State 78, UAB 70
Isaiah Swann continues his hot shooting with 28 points on 9 of 15 field goals, including 6 threes. Indiana transfer Robert Vaden led the Blazers with 17. Next up: Cleveland State (11/17).
