Well, Jeff Offutt (by the way, that's a very nice first name :-) ),
I think perhaps you are a bit prejudiced about Georgia Tech.
However, you do make a good point.  Maryland did play a very good
game -- Tech, however, played the game of the year.  UNC is
slightly handicapped right now with 2 major players out of the
game.  I suspect this is why they lost so big to N.C. State on
Sunday.  I do agree that Georgia Tech has a decent chance of being
national champs, but I do not think they would stand such a chance
if North Carolina had all its players healthy.  I haven't watched
Duke much this year so I can't really comment on their chances.  My
prediction for the ACC tournament?  Look for Virginia to play
either Tech or UNC.  Why?  Dunno.
