Live from the RBC ...
... where - I wish I was making this up - we had Little House on the Prairie on in the media room before someone finally had the good sense to switch over to the Daytona 500.
Gotta be honest, it's been hard to get up for this ACC game - Va Tech at N.C. State. With so much going on in the middle of the pack in the league, this is one of the few contests that pits a top-tier team against a bottom-tier team. Regardless of what happens, Va Tech is probably still going to finish the regular season in the ACC top four, which means getting an all-important first-day bye.
Meanwhile, State has something to play for ... staying out of the ACC basement and positioning itself for a .500 season and a probable NIT bid. But here's the thing, the last three games the Wolfpack has played have all had the same theme - State keeps running out of gas. Let's be honest folks, there are only so many ways I can keep writing that story.
Here's hoping that something different happens here. Don't worry though, I'll get my game face on before the opening tip.
