HURRICANES HOST TECH SATURDAY
TECH SQUARELY ON BUBBLE
IF ELDER STRUGGLES SO DO JACKETS
Coach K just has tons of nice things to say about us after beating us for th 18th out of 19th time:
"One thing is that you had continuity in their team last year, and when Elder got hurt, he got hurt late and they already had that continuity," Krzyzewski said. "He's one of the best players in the country and there's a transition period, especially if it's one of your star players, where everybody has to get acclimated again, including that kid to him and how they run everything, and they're doing that while playing in the ACC. It's not like they're doing it in December or out in Maui. Every game is big and you are playing against good teams."
Then this from Coach K:
"Look, they were close to winning this one tonight," he said. "They are too good and they are too well-coached and they are good kids. It'll happen; I'm just happy that it didn't happen against us tonight."
DUKE OUTLASTS GT
OFFENSIVE WOES DOOM TECH UPSET HOPES
Does it make you feel better that the Jackets were 6-7 in the ACC at this point last season? Not me. Why? Well, because we were assured a ticket to the dance already with some solid signature wins. This time around there is one - Wake Forest at home in OT.

A LITTLE LOVE FOR THE JACKETS
7. Georgia Tech: We know, we know. The Yellow Jackets might not even be in the tournament, and they top our underachieving list this season. But if nearly the same group that got to the final last season slides in, nobody will want to face this team.
BUBBLE TEAMS HIT HOME STRETCH
ACC: NCAA tournament selection committee chair Bob Bowlsby (the AD at Iowa) said this might be the most difficult conference to figure out. Wake Forest, North Carolina and Duke are all very good, and Maryland has shown signs, but the rest of the league is a collection of bubble teams. Virginia Tech, Miami (Fla.), Georgia Tech and North Carolina State still have chances to reach the tournament. The Hokies (14-10, 7-6 ACC) have the weakest résumé, but they are ahead of the other three in the league standings.
