Barry Jacobs: ACC's blues make most news
Posted Oct 28, 2008
North Carolina and Duke are again the teams to beat in 2008-09, a fact apt to confirm popular prejudices. Like it or not, the ACC has become the Blue Devils, Tar Heels, and everyone else. Eleven of the last dozen ACC Tournament championships went to the Devils or Heels, as did 10 of the last 12 first-place finishes. That’s domination. “I do believe the more you win, the more you win,” said Carolina’s Roy Williams, sounding a bit like Yoga Berra.
