The ACC Thread

[Hitman Hart]

It's a pretty interesting situation there. They have a lot of returning minutes. Maybe they were really a one man show.

Crawford averaged 16 PPG/5.5 APG last year and Collins' usage rate was nowhere near as high as it should have been. Wake last year was absolutely not a one man show.

FSU has no proven players with mid-range game. 5* frosh MJ Walker will have to supply that. That's what'll be missed the most from Bacon, XRM and Isaac.

But FSU has many players that can slash to the basket like nobody's business.

22 for MJ Walker off the bench last night against Colorado State. Terrance Mann dropped 20 of his own. Really think these 2 guys are going to have to be your consistent scorers while getting big games here and there from guys like CJ Walker, Rodas, and Savoy.

Essentially the Pitt fan base wanted him gone, according to reports, because they weren't satisfied making the tournament 10 out of 12 times or whatever it was under him. Little did they realize, it was Pitt, and based on historical achievement the fan base should have been thrilled with that kind of success. TCU has largely been irrelevant this century, having made one NIT appearance prior to last season with Dixon taking them to it, and winning it. Honestly was a home run hire for TCU. They should make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1998.

It may get worse. I don't see them winning an ACC game.

Dixon out, Stallings in. And Stallings sucks the big one.

I didn't. I remember back in the day when they rarely made any tourney until the Paul Evans era began and they started to win regularly. Yes, I would've liked to see Dixon's teams go further in the tourney but I know what a good job he did attracting the kind of talent that plays his game and coaching them up. The part of the fan base that wanted him gone is now seeing how stupid they were. They should've remembered the pre Paul Evans and Big East days when Pitt basketball was rarely relevant. I know they had some success under Chapman but Evans took them to the next level IMO.

It ain't gonna get better until Stallings is gone!

 

[Hitman Hart]

Difference between Pitt and Wake right now is that Wake has the talent to get better, Pitt doesn't. Stallings has ran off some pretty decent players, and his recruiting has been subpar. I feel for Pitt fans.

 

[Ottermatic]

Yes, I think we can officially say they've dug themselves into a pretty deep pitt.

Louisville bans Brian Bowen from playing, allowed to transfer elsewhere

And Louisville is pretty damn good without him. Think how good they would be "if" Pitino was able to coach his whoring escort service and Adidas pimping money laundering program like it was normal without restraint.

I never expected UVa to play this well this early. They look like they haven't missed a step with Perrantes gone. I'm sure there will be some pains along the way, but I am thrilled with how well they have played thus far.

you guys definitely have been impressive.

The ACC looks very very good this year. It's going to be a fight week in and week out

and come on, i was leaving the other obvious groan-worthy pun for somebody else to make...

i guess i'll just have to make it myself

"and their engine is stallings"

Danny Manning just signed a contract extension through 2025

Marvin Bagley III was ACC _______ of the week. Just fill in the blank since he did it all anyway.
