ACC Players Who Chose The #13

Some people won't touch it. Hotels don't even have a 13th floor.

Superstitious?

Well, in that case you don’t have too much in common with at least one player on 60 percent of this year’s ACC rosters. These young men defy the comforts of convention in a world where we knock on wood, throw spilt salt over our shoulder, and avoid mention certain desired outcomes lest we jinx them.

That same superstitious bent causes fans to wear lucky sweaters, watch games from a special chair, and otherwise act, well, a bit irrational when their favorite team is in action.
