Miami reached the halfway point of ACC play on Saturday. The calendar turned February on Sunday. We are now just five weeks exactly away from the ACC Tournament. A trip to Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina sounds actually kind of fun since we didn't make it last season.

Miami last win in the ACC Tournament was back in 2013, do you remember those guys? Yeah. I'm talking about Shane Larkin who finished with 28 points eight of them in the final 2 1/2 minutes to help Miami pull away for an 87-77 win against No. 3 seeded North Carolina in the ACC Tournament Championship Game.

Miami (17-5, 6-3) currently owns a winning road record in league play, with plenty of basketball to be played this season and potentially getting a win against Florida State. The Hurricanes are three back in the loss column with maybe even a chance to make a run in the acc in upcoming weeks.

This is where the league currently sits and what the computers after 22 games into the season.

Current Standings

1. Duke (9-0)
2. Clemson (8-1)
3. Virginia (7-2)
4. NC State (7-2)
5. North Carolina (6-3)
6. Miami (6-3)
7. Louisville (5-4)
8. Virginia Tech (5-5)
9. SMU (4-4)
10. California (4-5)
11. Syracuse (4-6)
12. Florida State (3-6)
13. Stanford (3-6)
14. Boston College (2-6)
15. Pittsburgh (2-7)
16. Georgia Tech (2-7)
17. Notre Dame (2-7)
18. Wake Forest (2-7)

Duke continues to show why they are a top 5 team in the nation, the Blue Devils picked up a dominate win over No. 20 ranked Louisville Cardinals this past week winning the ball game 83-52 sending the Cards back home sad. Meanwhile the rest of the league from spots 2 and spots 8 are very narrow, it could go anyway in the ACC by how close the records are.

The margins are slim at the midpoint.
