Malcom Brogdon first team? I admittedly don't watch a ton of UVA games, but seems strange.

Best player on the team that won the conference. Worthy IMO

Only player to score in double figures of every ACC game. That's right, the only one. Not Jabari Parker, not Marcus Paige, and not TJ Warren.

So far the ACC has faired well. NC State is the only team to bow out of the dance....but will say, St. Louis is no patsy. NC State manned the fuck up.....Warren is a beast. Too bad he fouled out.

Duke kicks this off today against Mercer @ 1215. I'll have to sneak a peak while here at work.

Then the Heels vs Providence @ 7:20. This one's a no brainer. Providence can't play on the road.

And finally the big dog of the acc...this year. VA about to crush CC.....Coastal Carolina Community College.

Good Luck men. Go get some.

The ACC is proving itself to in fact be the best....sorry B10 and PAC. All the "Homer Hype" came home to roost.

That Colorado Pitt game was an embarrassment.... but you are being incredibly premature with this statement.

Well...maybe; that said, I really don't consider Utah, Washington, Oregon St, Washington St. and SC much of a threat...and with Arizona State losing to Texas, things are not looking good for a conference that we heard folks singing their praises ad nauseam.

Wuuuuuuuu. Dookies, you've got an opponent that showed up.

In terms of number of teams doing damage in the tournament, the ACC has had the PAC beat all year. Virginia is a 1 seed, Syracuse and Duke are 3's, NC is a 6.

We've only got Zona and UCLA that are even supposed to win a game.

The strength of the PAC was in its depth of quality teams, while the weakness of the ACC was in its canyon-esque drop-off after the top 5 teams, with the remaining 10 teams all falling outside of the top-50, 6 teams outside the top-100 and 2 outside the top-200.

Yes, the Duke team has their hands full with Mercer. Can't believe what I'm seeing. Duke allowed Mercer to hang around and now they think they can win.....Huuuuge upset if it happens. Still 12 minutes to play and down by 3.

Would be crazy... I didn't think they'd still be hanging around this late. They are getting close to the territory where a close ending is almost inevitable. If Duke is gonna pull away they need to do it now.

Louisville/Manhattan-esque. Dook probably wins by 5, late, very late.

Cook just bailed them out with two 3's, Duke up by 3 with 9 to go. Mercer is now playing possessed. Duke was up by 7 in the 1st half and let them hang around. Really bad...need to bury a team when you get the chance.

 

[jeffro151]

Tied up! Come on Mercer!

 

[Runeman]

Yikes! 63-63 with 2:05 remaining....Can't believe Duke.

 

[Texas Jefe]

Mercer, they're ballin now

 

[hokiehi21]

only thing surprising was Mercer being 12.5 point dawgs. easy money for a team full of seniors

 

[hokiehi21]

lulz at stealing it and then turning it back over

 

[Runeman]

Mercer 5 up and the ball with .30 remaining. Not good. Looks like the upset of the tournament just around the corner.


I must say, it's really not Duke playing that bad, this Mercer team has good size and can play.
