By Scott Roche
It was a quiet week in Winston-Salem for the Demon Deacons, who return to the court this week with a pair of non-conference games at home. They open ACC play on Dec. 30 at home against Virginia Tech.
Last Week: No. 10
Games this week: Dec. 18 vs. Delaware State, Dec. 21 vs. Presbyterian
The Yellow Jackets went to Madison Square Garden Saturday and picked up a thrilling, 82-81, non-conference win over a scrappy Penn State squad. This week, they get an underrated UMass team at home who beat West Virginia on Saturday.
Last week: No. 12
Games this week: Dec. 21 vs. UMass
There were no games this week in Chestnut Hill for the Eagles, who rallied to beat St. John's last Sunday in Brooklyn, 86-80, for a non-conference win. BC has just one more game remaining before returning to ACC play on Jan. 2 at home against Wake Forest.
Last week: No. 11
Games this week: Dec. 21 vs. Lehigh
