Better than Goude

Ok, now we can start talking about upsets. Andrew Goudelack and The College of Charleston pulled off a stunner, coming back to beat North Carolina in OT. UNC was missing a few players (Ginyard and Graves) but still should have had more than enough to get the win.

In what ESPN actually would be justified in calling an upset, they seemed to dance around it inexplicably talking about the success CoC has had in the past. That would be like someone claiming a loss to Davidson isn't bad because Steph Curry was there last year. Let me give you some of the CoC's losses in 2009: Coastal Carolina by 11, East Tennessee by 6, Hawaii by 13; this is not a top-tier program or team, though they may win the SoCon.

The most disconcerting thing for Ole' Roy and his Heels has to be the way they allowed a 12-1 run to close after the game seemed safely in tow.

The other question: After watching them struggle with Rutgers for 36 minutes and lose to The College of Charleston (yes, they have a good shot to win the SoCon this year, but still...) is the ACC even more wide open after Duke than we thought? And is the ACC clearly Duke's to lose?

I have probably overrated the Tarheels all season long, but confess to still be enamored by the potential in Chapel Hill if they can figure it all out before March.
