We played hard. You know I thought we played well enough to win,”“Most people call it a comeback. I don’t think it was a comeback. To hold a team to 33 percent from the field and 27 percent from the 3, we did our job. Offensively, we’ve got to be better. Our offense hurt us, and to me it’s not what most people think. You say shot selection, this or that, but no…we turned the ball over at the wrong time all the time. We just can’t do it. It’s got to pain you, and it has to hurt. That’s the reality of it.”
“Twenty points (Virginia) Tech scored off our turnovers, 16 second-chance points off of offensive rebounding…and the sad part about it is we still out-rebounded them,” added Stoudamire. “So we don’t get any payback for what we did, but we did what I like to say put a lot of stress on the game. That’s what I tell my team…we don’t give up. We threw a bad game out there against Pitt, but they responded then. And they responded again. They’re not getting the payback for it. I wish we could get some wins to get their chins up and make them feel better about themselves, but we’ve just got to keep grinding.”

The game is going to be televised on ACC Network with Wes Durham, Dennis Scott commentating!
Wes Durham is a play-by-play commentator for ESPN and ACC Network, ESPN’s network devoted to Atlantic Coast Conference sports. Durham, a highly respected and accomplished broadcaster who has been around college sports and the ACC his entire life, calls college football and basketball games on ESPN platforms in addition to contributing to ACCN studio shows.
One of the original hires when ACC Network launched in 2019, Durham previously co-hosted the Packer and Durham morning show alongside Mark Packer – a program they started in 2018 as ACC This Morning on SiriusXM ACC Radio. After three years on ACCN, Durham shifted to a play-by-play-centric role for the network.
In 2023, Durham was named the play-by-play voice for ACC Primetime Football, where he calls weekly high-profile ACC games with Tom Luginbill and Dana Boyle. During the men’s college basketball season, Durham is also one of the network’s lead game-callers.
Durham’s name has been synonymous with the ACC for years. He was the radio voice for Georgia Tech from 1995-2013 before joining Fox Sports South/Raycom Sports to handle play-by-play duties for ACC football, basketball and baseball games. Durham’s family also has a special history in the conference. His father, Woody, was the legendary “Voice of the Tar Heels” for 40 years.
Since 2020, Durham has contributed to ESPN’s coverage of the PGA Championship as a play-by-play commentator on Featured Group streams on ESPN+
In addition to working in the ACC, Durham had stints early in his career as the radio announcer of athletic teams at Marshall, Radford and Vanderbilt.
Beyond his ESPN roles, Durham has been the radio play-by-play voice for the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons since 2004.
A native of Cary, N.C., Durham graduated from Elon University with a bachelor’s degree in Mass Communications.
Durham learned about broadcasting while working at Elon’s WSOE student radio, where he called 150 football and basketball games in four years as an undergraduate.
Durham was inducted into the Georgia Tech Sports Hall of Fame in 2015, while Elon’s School of Communications honored him as its Distinguished Alumnus in April 2013. An 11-time winner of the Georgia Sportscaster of the Year by the National Sports Media Association (NSMA), Durham is a longtime member of the NSMA board and in 2022 he became president of the board.
Before joining ESPN and ACC Network, Scott built a respected broadcasting career with Turner Sports and NBA TV, where he appeared on NBA GameTime and other studio programs.
A standout at Georgia Tech under coach Bobby Cremins, Scott was a three-time All-ACC selection and the 1990 ACC Player of the Year. He led the Yellow Jackets to the 1990 NCAA Final Four as part of the legendary “Lethal Weapon 3” trio alongside Kenny Anderson and Brian Oliver, before being selected No. 4 overall by the Orlando Magic in the 1990 NBA Draft.
Over a 10-year NBA career (1990–2000), Scott became one of the league’s most prolific three-point shooters, setting a then-NBA record with 267 three-pointers made during the 1995–96 season and helping lead the Magic to the 1995 NBA Finals.
Off the air, Scott remains active in grassroots basketball, youth mentorship, and player development programs nationwide. A native of Hagerstown, Maryland, he continues to reside in the Atlanta area. Known affectionately as “3D,” Scott brings the same enthusiasm and authenticity that defined his playing days to every broadcast he calls.
