It was not the best of weeks for the Atlantic Coast Conference as Virginia fell two spots to No. 13, Miami went from 12th to 16th and Duke tumbled all the way to 24th in The Associated Press Top 25 poll. Then, North Carolina's Armando Bacot, the top scorer and rebounder in the conference, suffered an ankle injury early in the much-anticipated…

TV schedule: Tuesday, December 6th, 9:30 pm ET (approx), ESPN Arena: Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York It can be hard to gauge how good a team is after just one month into the season.

It won't go down as a *ranked* upset, but it's a stunning result nonetheless in Norman, where Sam Houston State takes down Oklahoma 52-51.

The No. 14…

No. 11 Tennessee leads Tennessee Tech just 27-16 at halftime.
