Two ACC News Stories to Cap off the Week

Davidson College has been temporarily added to the ACC this year, so they will be put directly into the tough, intense, and always dramatic world of Tobacco Road. You might remember that Davidson upset ACC powerhouse Maryland in last year’s NCAA Tourney. Well, they will have to do more of the same against the likes of Duke, North Carolina, Wake Forest, Boston College and North Carolina State this year. Pat Forde of ESPN.com writes that the road ahead will be though for Davidson, but they might just come out the overall winners if they ever want to be an official ACC member.

In other news, Wake Forest University announced that a long-time Skip Prosser aide, Dino Gaudio, will be his replacement on the sidelines for the Demon Deacons. Prosser was one of the most respected, admired and beloved college basketball coaches in the NCAA before his untimely death just over a week ago. Many people feel that, although Gaudio will be nowhere near Prosser in terms of ability and clout, he will still serve admirably as the Wake head coach.
