Hardin: Heels are deep, but Devils will win ACC

Posted Nov 13, 2006

Duke will win the ACC championship this season in men's basketball.

We've studied it and smoked on it and decided the Carolina angle is too easy. Any fool can pick the Tar Heels to win the title this season. It takes a special fool to choose against them.
