The ACC Thread

Trent was a beast but watching Miami just stop playing was embarrassing

Can't say I'm not happy with them not playing.. LOL but I certainly wasn't expecting that at all

Duke finally beat a good team in a true road game

Pitt was a good win, Indiana and MSU was too (granted that wasn't in Michigan)

Duke is just a much better zone defense team than a man to man defense team.

K can keep making his team practice man to man during the regular season, but unless something drastic changes, Duke will be playing 90% or more zone defense for the ACC and NCAA tournaments.

And if that's the case, we should be just fine

Pitt would be a middle of the road team if they played in the Southern Conference. That isn't a good road win. Indiana is also #89 on kenpom right now, so I wouldn't consider that a good road win, either. Neutral site != road game

As good as Jim L's reputation is, I have seen his teams play as if they have a turtle jammed up all of their asses so many times.

Forgot about that Indiana game in the ACC/B1G challenge

Oh shut up!

How ya doing buddy?

Bad loss for Miami(not the loss itself, but rather the manner). Starting to question if they're a tournament team or not.

I'm well. Don't have to watch the Deacs lose again until Thursday, so this should be a decent week for me.

The MOV was good, but Pitt is historically bad for an ACC team. They aren't even a top 200 KenPom team, which is telling.

Which is ridiculous, considering the talent level they have on that team.

BC picks up another conference win. If they can manage a split in the next 2, I think they'll be on the good side of the bubble, heading into their home stretch against Va. Tech and Ga. Tech, which are obviously really winnable.

Haha... they will win Thursday....

An under the radar result that took place tonight was BC taking it to FSU.

Finally a logical reason why Duke won a game as opposed to the "refs" giving them the game.

They really don't have anything on the resume. Their best win is a neutral over MTSU and that was after losing to NMSU the game before. The Gophers may/may not hang around 75ish in the RPI so that might end up being a Q1 win, but I wouldn't count on it. And yes, they have top 15 talent, if not better. And they couldn't do what NC State and BC already did, which was beat Duke at home.

Eh, I'm still counting it. haha

13-6, 3-3 overall for BC. Their remaining road games: at L'ville, at Cuse, at ND, at Pitt, at NC State, at Miami at FSU. I think they can get 2-3 wins out of that.
