ACC basketball was unbelievable this weekend.  Saturday was as good of a day as I have seen in years. 
The pace of the games was quick, the refs let the teams run and scrap a bit. 
It was the first time in a while that our conference was clearly stacked like the good old days.
All this is assuming that you skipped watching the Wolfpack and the Yellow Jackets...
But even that ended up being entertaining since they were equally as 'challenged.'

Wake Forest's Al-Farouq Aminu was a Top 10 High School Prospect - and he showed why yesterday against Clemson. 
He is not the best  big man on the court for the Deacons, yet. 
But if he continues to perform like he did against Clemson - he will be part of a team that will play in the Final Four.
He will also be a lottery pick.


DeQuan Jones of Miami gave us a reason to forget the old Stackhouse vs. Duke dunk where he struts like Richard Pryor in Stir Crazy.

Here is the dunk he threw down after blowing by Danny Green, and the block of Thompson's shot.
Clearly he will continue to be a YouTube favorite for a while to come.  (see the HS dunk over John Wall too)


And speaking of Duke, they won too.  (Don't won't Coach K miffed about my lack of coverage)
I am sure that he was quite relieved after the big (accurate) statements about our league being better than the Big East...
