Both of these teams aren't known for being ACC teams, but have a strong basketball reputation nonetheless. The Fighting Irish are a highly efficient offensive team led by star player Jerian Grant. Syracuse hasn't lived up to its usual standards this year, but a big win over Notre Dame could do wonders for the team's resume.

Expect a high-scoring affair when the Tar Heels travel to Coral Gables, Fla., to battle the Hurricanes. Miami has emerged as a surprise team behind coach Jim Larranaga, and Roy Williams' UNC squad is always tough to beat. These two teams only meet once in the regular season, but it's sure to be an exciting display of offensive fireworks.

A change of conference scenery hasn't done much to deter No. 10 Louisville from its enduring success this season. Coaching philosophies will clash in Charlottesville when Pitino's frantic pressing-style will attempt to fluster the Cavaliers. The Cavs are no slouch on the defensive end either, limiting opponents to 49.2 points per game.
