2009 Unbalanced ACC Basketball Schedule

by T.H. on Jan 8, 2009 7:53 PM EST in Basketball

As promised, (if tardy) I thought I'd lay out the imbalances in the ACC basketball schedule. Remember, each team has three opponents they only play at home and three they only meet on the road, in addition to the five teams they play twice in-conference:

Team	Home Only	Away Only
Boston College	Clemson / Duke / Florida State	Maryland / UNC / Virginia
Clemson	Duke / Maryland / N.C. State	Boston College / Miami / UNC
Duke	Miami / N.C. State / Virginia	Boston College / Clemson / Georgia Tech
Florida State	Georgia Tech / Maryland / UNC	Boston College / N.C. State / Wake Forest
Georgia Tech	Duke / Miami / Virginia	Florida State / UNC / Virginia Tech
Maryland	Boston College / Virginia Tech / Wake Forest	Clemson / Florida State / N.C. State
Miami	Clemson / Virginia Tech / Wake Forest	Duke / Georgia Tech / Virginia
North Carolina	Boston College / Clemson / Georgia Tech	Florida State / Virginia Tech / Wake Forest
N.C. State	Florida State / Maryland / Virginia	Clemson / Duke / Virginia Tech
Virginia	Boston College / Miami / Wake Forest	Duke / Georgia Tech / N.C. State
Virginia Tech	Georgia Tech / UNC / N.C. State	Maryland / Miami / Wake Forest
Wake Forest	Florida State / UNC / Virginia Tech	Maryland / Miami / Virginia

The lucky triumverate this season are Boston College, Clemson and Georgia Tech, all of who avoid Cameron Indoor and only play UNC once. BC probably gets the edge for best overall, as they only face still-undefeated Clemson on their home court. Pity poor N.C. State, who because of rivalries always draws UNC and ~~Clemson~~ Wake Forest twice a year, and this season has it compounded by facing BC twice and only getting road games against Duke and Clemson.
