Best in the ACC

[jonvi]

Forget about the rankings and win loss records. Using the eye test and your gut, who looks to be playing the best ball in the ACC right now.

I say it's Duke.

I hope JB calls the dogs off at half. Just to give K a chance and all…..

Syracuse and Duke. How could the Cuse not be considered playing great BB when they are undefeated?

That would be Coach JB's style...which drives us SU fans crazy.

Even though I'm interested in Duke/SU, I really started this tread wondering about VA. They've swept FSU and has wins over Wake and @ NC State.

They are starting to build a resume.

^^^^THIS^^^^.

Exactly!

Going into Pitt and spanking them by 20....a home win against VA. I'm not ready to write Duke or Virgina off.

Virginia has all the pieces too. The style they play means they never really "trounce" a team by 30+ so they won't be considered a truly dominant team. But Harris is a player. I've always thought he runs their offense even though he's not a PG. They will be an extremely tough out at tourney time.

The Pitt win was very impressive, total domination. The Duke game should be very interesting. We'll find out if this Cuse team has a shot at finishing the season undefeated. If they can dominate Duke, then I think they have a decent chance at it.

And screw Arizona.

We've got McAdoo and...... oh, so that's why we're 12-7. We kind of... suck.

UVa is playing some awesome ball right now. Other than the loss to Duke, UVa has held a lead of at least 20 points in every ACC game thus far.

I know it's still early, but…...How many Tourney teams go from the ACC? Syracuse, Pitt, Duke, UVA, …….???????

 

[dcZONAfan]

Virginia is playing so well. But obviously it's 'Cuse and Duke right now. Saturday is going to be awesome, I cannot wait for that game. I have a feeling 'Cuse is going to play their best game of the season and win, but then again if Andre Dawkins from the Pitt game shows, who the hell knows???

 

[douggie]

Dawkins has been "en fuego" from the arc. He's always been a great shooter. If Syracuse stays back in that zone he could go off for 30. But Duke will win or lose by it's defense. They have to stop Syracuse from getting dunks and layups first and foremost.

Well, UNC is definitely on the bubble. I am hoping we can get in and upset somebody half-decent.

 

[douggie]

The last outing by the heels was much better. It looks like they are finally hitting shots. They will be hitting on all cylinders by the time they play Duke. trust me. I've seen this movie before.

A couple home wins feb 12 and 15 would go a long way to getting UNC in the tourney.

Not sure how you can say Syracuse and Duke is obviously playing better than UVa. Minus Duke, UVa has blown out every single ACC opponent thus far and UVa battled all the way to the end against Duke. Syracuse did not look good against Miami twice and BC. Notre Dame beat Duke, and UVa destroyed ND. Duke destroyed Pitt, and Syracuse had to battle all game to get the win against Pitt.
