The ACC, the shot clock era and a doomed dual #Questfor50

Well, a low point came Sunday night.

As in the lowest-scoring ACC game in the shot clock era.

Miami outpaced Clemson 45-43, with the 88 combined points the lowest-scoring game when neither team managed 50 points. There were three previous such games with a combined 89 points.

In addition, it was the fifth time in the last three seasons the ACC had two teams fail in a patented #Questfor50 in the same game. Between 1985-86 (when the shot clock was first introduced) and 2009-10, there were just three such games.

Enough of that, though. It's list time:
