All ACC Teams Get Underway

Today officially marks the start of the 2005-06 season for a great majority of the teams in the nation. 10 ACC teams are in action. Boston College participated in the Preason WNIT and beat Drexel (51-44) and Richmond (62-51) before losing to UConn (60-46). The Eagles are off until the 23rd.

Some interesting games tonight:
Duke at Penn State - this should be a blowout. Forget the fact that Duke is ranked No. 1 in one of the polls, Nittany Lion head coach Rene Portland is in the midst of a media nightmare after a former player claimed she was discriminated against by Portland because Portland perceived the player was gay. The Lions also have no depth after Portland kicked four players off the team after a first-round NCAA Tournament loss to Liberty in College Park.

Virginia at George Washington - GW is a decent team who has been ranked in the top 25 for a few years now. Last year they advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Virginia has Sharnee Zoll who played with Langhorne and Coleman on the U21 team this summer.

Also on tap tonight:
Tennessee Tech at Clemson - Tigers have already played two games this season at AZ St.

Georgia Southern at FSU, Georgia Tech at UAB, Samford at Miami, Davidson at UNC, UNC Greensboro at NC State, and Mercer at Wake.
