ACC Twin Bill
The college basketball season is still young, but it will take a step forward on Sunday when the ACC tips off conference play with a doubleheader on FSN. In the first game, Florida State takes on Georgia Tech, followed by N.C. State visiting Wake Forest. Here’s a look at both games.
Florida State at Georgia Tech
It is the conference opener for both these ACC universities. Florida State’s frontline could be one the best defensive groups in the country, having size and extreme athleticism. They are averaging over seven blocked shots a game, led by center Solomon Alabi. The second year stud has shown more variety on offense as well. The Seminoles are 30-16 ATS versus good defensive teams allowing 39 percent or less shooting.
Coach Paul Hewitt was on hot seat coming off 12-19 campaign and brought in an exceptional recruiting class that is paying immediate dividends. 6’10 frosh Derrick Favors arrived with much ballyhoo and so far has lived up to expectations for the Yellow Jackets. Another freshman, G Mfon Udofia is off to good start, as is fellow sophomore running mate Iman Shumpert. Both need to work on ball-handling and dishing the rock. The Jackets are 1-8 ATS versus teams shooting 45 percent or better with a defense holding opponents to 42 or less percent from the field.
Georgia Tech is 7-3 SU at home vs. the Noles, but has only covered twice.
N.C. State at Wake Forest
This is a critical season for coach Sidney Lowe. N.C. This year’s club will have to focus on defense and keep fingers crossed a consistent third scorer and points off the pine emerge. Tracy Smith and senior Dennis Horner will score over 30 points on nightly basis, however even “Googling” for baskets isn’t working, as the Wolfpack are last in the ACC in points scored. N.C. State frequently hangs around and is 8-1 ATS as a road underdog or pick over the last two seasons.
Wake Forest fans are going to be grinning from ear to ear and be sitting with head in hands the way the year has begun for Demon Deacons. A loss to William and Mary was arresting development, as was incredible win at Gonzaga, something that has almost never happened. Al-Farouq Aminu is going to be the catalyst and he will set the tone most nights. Aminu, like his teammates can’t fall in love shooting behind the arc, since Wake’s real strength is shooting inside 15-feet and playing volleyball on the glass. The Deacons are 13-5 ATS in previous 18 home games facing a team with a winning record.
N.C. State is 2-10 and 5-7 ATS the last dozen visits to Lawrence Joel Coliseum.
