The Atlantic Coast Conference lost its annual series with the Southeastern Conference by a 13-3 margin. That comes as the league currently has no top-10 teams in the AP Top 25 poll for the first time since December 2001. The preseason league favorite Blue Devils fell to 3-6 with Thursday night's home loss to No. 5 LSU. No. 11 North Carolina lost at No. 2 Texas as the ACC's highest-ranked team. Duke coach Kara Lawson says there's still enough time for ACC teams to grow and improve. But league teams are a combined 2-31 in Quadrant 1 games so far.
