Here's a look at the non-conference teams ACC schools are playing for the final old ACC round-robin. Patsies are in red!
Clemson's
schedule is improved, but not enormously. But B.C., Georgia, and
Cincinnati add up. Not to mention Challenge opponent Purdue. Look
for it to beef up under Purnell. Next year's ACC scheduling will be much crazier.

Duke
You might think Detroit is a patsy. Not so. They have an
excellent recruiting base and a decent tradition. Not a gimme game.
Of the P schools, Portland and Pacific are weak, but Princeton is still
Princeton. Fairfield is a gimme game. Valpo is absolutely not.

Georgia Tech
There's some meat in there, though six gimme games are kind of high.
Don't be shocked if VCU gives Tech fits.

North Carolina
Old Dominion will help UNC reassert themselves in Virginia, for years a
fertile recruiting area, but lately not so hot. Wilmington is not
necessarily easy - they'll be sky high. Akron could be pretty good too.

N.C. State
State's schedule is always depressing under Herb Sendek. Where's the
excitement? Where's the instinct for the Big Game? They'll be lucky to get
10,000 people for Asheville, Howard, UW-Milwaukee, and Hartford - total. In fairness to State, the latest ruling on the NCAA's exempt games kind of screwed things up.
- Nov. 21 - UNC-Asheville, 8:30 p.m.

- Dec. 2 - at Michigan, 7:30 p.m.

Virginia
Virginia's schedule is examined
here.
Wake Forest
Not a bad schedule at all. IU is always tough, Richmond is a pain, SMU,
who knows, New Mexico is a basketball school, Texas and Cincinnati are
formidable. Not a bad effort.
