ACC Roundup Heels, Yellow Jackets Get Big Wins

In Saturday’s ACC Action, Clemson got Miami 66-58, Virginia Tech annihilated Wake Forest 84-46, Boston College surprised Notre Dame 94-90 and UNC upset Florida State 78-70.

Walker Kessler, who had been glued to the bench for much of the season, has emerged late and has been terrific. He certainly was against Florida State, with 20 points in 24 minutes on 9-10 shooting, eight rebounds, five of them offensive and four blocks.

Hard to argue with that.

He’s been behind Armando Bacot, Garrison Brooks and Da’Ron Sharpe all season but outplayed all three of them Saturday.

FSU was up 16 before starting a solid, steady comeback that saw them pull ahead 52-50 with 11:45 to play.
