The first weekend of February was fun for casual college basketball fans but less encouraging for supporters of Virginia and NC State. As the ACC title race heats up, The Prerred Walk-Ons Podcast is back to look at the most surprising teams in the conference and analyze whether anyone can stop Duke from an undefeated season.

In this episode:

  • How the Luka Dončić trade impacts the ACC (0:00-7:24)
  • The prospect of NC State and UVA missing the ACC Tournament (7:24-18:25)
  • The biggest surprises in the ACC and which teams could make a run in the conference tournament (18:25-29:18)
  • How a wild weekend of upsets sets the stage for March Madness (29:18-36:23)

TheSabre.com presents The Preferred Walk-Ons Podcast, a college sports podcast through the lens of the ACC. Michael McGraw, a University of Virginia graduate and fan, and Michael Shutt, a life-long NC State fan, both grew up watching the ACC and have insights on the history and present of the conference.
