The Hurricanes remain undefeated in the ACC But have their toughest road test so far. Miami took care of business again at Virginia Tech as it won by nine points thanks to a big second half where it was able to pull away. The Hurricanes remain perfect in the ACC at 7-0 including a solid 4-0 in road games. The road win over North Carolina was more than impressive but I feel this is their biggest test on the highway so far. NC State meanwhile is coming off a loss at Virginia on Tuesday as it continued its up and down play. Big wins over Duke and North Carolina were followed up with losses in the next game but so far the Wolfpack have followed up their previous two ACC road losses with a home win next time out. NC State is a perfect 12-0 at home and it could be asked to keep that undefeated streak alive without the services of point guard Lorenzo Brown who hurt his ankle at Virginia and is considered questionable. Brown is averaging a conference-best 6.9 apg and is also second in the ACC with 2.1 spg so his absence will be missed. That being said, there is enough talent on this team to make up for that and you see so many times in sports when players step up when a key teammate goes down. This is one of the few remaining times that the Wolfpack will have an opportunity to grab a quality win to bolster its tournament resume as the back end of the schedule is not overly difficult with only Duke and north Carolina remaining as the toughest ones. The Hurricanes finally suffer that first conference loss on Saturday. Play (590) NC State Wolfpack – Click here for complete prediction on this game
