Former college coach Denny Kuiper breaks down Georgia Tech-Maryland and N.C. State-FSU.

The trend continued in the evening games of the quarterfinals - both underdogs won. But like the afternoon games, I don’t consider them upsets. Georgia Tech was desperate, and probably secured an NCAA bid with its win over Maryland. N.C. State just wants to keep playing. Give both teams…

Today’s batch of Daily Links would like to thank the ACC for expanding. Instead of links to football players in rehab, there were four games and eight teams worth of action yesterday. And the best part? Those games were unpredictably good.

All recent contributors to the ACC Sports Journal are in bold.

Boston College looked careless yesterday, like a team that could lose to an undermanned Virginia…
