Florida State Seminoles vs. Duke Blue Devils (4): Today at 4:00 PM EST on ESPN.
Duke looks to get their fifth win of the season against ACC opponents. Today’s matchup will be a very tough one, though. Florida State comes to Cameron Indoor Stadium to play the Blue Devils.

Fansided is growing its NCAA network, including its ACC network as well. So with that, the editors of the other ACC blogs (with the exception of Canes Warning, who could unfortunately not be a part of this roundtable edition) and I have collaborated on our first ever ACC roundtable. Topics included the state of our basketball programs, what we’ve seen so far, and what we expect our teams to do.

Another Duke win. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs. Duke Blue Devils (4): Tonight at 7:00 PM EST on ESPN.
The Dukies look to keep their record in ACC play perfect as they strive to go 4-0 in the conference. That shouldn’t be a problem.

It’s been about 20 days since I was appointed the new lead editor for Big Duke Balls. It took me a while, but I finally thought that we should open up the opportunity to expand our writing staff here at BDB to give you a broader perspective and certainly more frequent content. We are currently seeking applications for contributing writers.

… I am still here. It’s hard to write when…
a) I’m busy busy busy;
b) I could not watch Duke’s game versus Clemson; and
c) when the time between Duke games lasts about four days.
Speaking of which, Duke doesn’t play until Thursday, so I don’t have any idea, as of now, what I am going to write about. I’ll find something, though. There has to be something…
Anyway, please remember to follow Big Duke Balls on Twitter and like our Facebook page!
P.S. Did any of you watch the North Carolina/Florida State game on Saturday? I couldn’t, but I saw highlights. That was the funniest thing ever watching the Tar Holes fail as bad as they did on the road against the Seminoles. You could compare the game to college guys playing a bunch of high schoolers, and I’m sure you can guess who played like who.
EDITOR’S NOTE: By request from StadiumJourney.com, we have re-posted their review for Cameron Indoor Stadium, which is OBVIOUSLY Duke’s basketball stadium.
Cameron. The word may make you think of a former NFL and college head coach, a character in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off sporting a Detroit Red Wings jersey, or a beautiful blonde actress. But if you’re a fan of college basketball, you are much more likely to conjure an image of Cameron Indoor Stadium, home of the Duke Blue Devils basketball team.
The stadium is also home to one of the great student sections of all time, the Cameron Crazies. And, perhaps the second greatest college basketball coach of all-time (John Wooden takes that title in my book), Mike Krzyzewski also helps to make this a special place to see college basketball.
If you jotted down a list of the stadiums you would most like to visit in your lifetime (try it sometime), Cameron Indoor Stadium would likely make your list, and you would be right. Do it. Make the trip. You’ll be glad you did.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Yes, we know this has nothing to do with Duke basketball, but by request from StadiumJourney.com and since this is Duke-related, we have re-posted their review for Wallace Wade Stadium, which is Duke’s football stadium.
Wallace Wade Stadium was built in 1929 and lights were added in 1984. The stadium is built as a horseshoe design, with the scoreboard located at the open end of the stadium. The largest crowd ever was on November 19, 1949 when 57,500 watched Duke play North Carolina. The current configuration of the stadium holds 33,941.

Virginia Cavaliers (17) vs. Duke Blue Devils (6): Tonight at 9:00 PM EST on ESPN.
This game will be Duke’s second game of the year against an ACC opponent; same goes for Virginia. Both of them are 1-0 in conference play so far. However, one of them will become 1-1 and the other will become 2-0 in the ACC.
