In a remarkable ACC matchup, the University of Pittsburgh men's basketball team achieved their first win at Duke in 45 years, led by Blake Hinson's 24 points. The victory over the No. 7 ranked Duke ended Pitt's two-game losing streak and was celebrated by Hinson with the Cameron Crazies. The win not only elevated Pitt in the NET rankings to No. 68, ahead of Syracuse, but also gave the University of North Carolina a two-game lead atop the ACC standings. This game was a highlight in a day where ACC road teams boasted a strong 5-2 record.
Clemson coach Brad Brownell says he has a "love-hate relationship" with the NET. But the Tigers, at 3-4 in conference, are currently ranked 22 spots higher than they were in late January 2023 after a 9-1 start in the ACC. https://t.co/YVYlBSDIDn

Two days later, we're still thinking about Pitt's win at Duke. What did the Panthers do right on Saturday? And what can they build on going forward? https://t.co/g4wLGtvxTL
Relevant for what Wake Forest just did against Louisville and Duke going to Louisville on Tuesday: This 3-point defense from the Cards is incredible. https://t.co/K73x4doqrg
FAU heading to overtime. Nelly Davis makes 3 free throws with 16 seconds left to force OT at UTSA. Davis has 30 and has played like an All-American this season.
Needed and impressive win for the Cavaliers, who picked up their first ACC victory of the campaign. Now 9-9 overall and 1-6 in the league. Kymora Johnson finished with 35 points, seven rebounds, six assists. https://t.co/V8mJbKrgyi
Kymora Johnson coming out party at FSU. What a performance from Virginia on the road. The first year with THIRTY FIVE points in the upset over No. 15. Huge for this program.

ACC road teams went 5-2 yesterday. VT won at N.C. State UVA won at GT Pitt won at Duke UNC won at BC Clemson won at FSU Wake Forest blew out Louisville and Syracuse got a buzzer beater to avoid overtime against Miami. https://t.co/SR3qQ5epZC
By losing to Pitt last night, Duke's win *at* Pitt went from a Quad-2 to a Quad-1. What a great impact this has on college basketball. https://t.co/a12CxT0m4L
Just a seven-game sample size, but having the 2nd-most efficient offense and 3rd-most efficient defense while leading the ACC in 3-point shooting and FT shooting would likely win a ton of games for Wake Forest. https://t.co/vmeL0QjeaR

NET check-in: Clemson moves up from No. 39 to No. 33 after a win at Florida State. Clemson's win at Pittsburgh moved back to Quad 1; Panthers went from No. 82 to No. 68 after a win over Duke. Tigers are 3-4 in Quad 1 games. Home loss to Georgia Tech (Q3) only non-Quad 1 defeat.
Syracuse wakes up to a Quad 1 win today as Pitt jumped up to 68 off its upset of Duke. Pitt is actually ahead of Syracuse (69) in the NET rankings despite the Orange’s season sweep of the Panthers.
Road teams went 5-2 in @accmbb yesterday. We’re in 2nd quarter of conference schedule, 3 road teams won on higher seeded floors (Clemson, Pitt & VT). Road teams won 50% of conference games this wk. Home teams have won 55% of games, and 24% have been “5 pts or less” @accnetwork
