The ACC Thread

[Hitman Hart]

The explosion of Luke Maye is making me re-think what the ceiling for this UNC team is. Think this could be a Final 4 squad.

GT just lost to Grambling lol

Pitt has some hope for a conference win after all.

It's Rock Chuck Jay Huck night.

Richmond is awful this year, but it looks like Wake is starting to get it together. Starting to play like a team. Crawford and Woods are now running the offense through other guys, and the light has come on for Doral Moore.

 

[Hitman Hart]

lmao, there's a guy on OGBoards that is trying to argue that there isn't any evidence that Manning is even a decent big man coach, let alone a good one

good lord, that place cracks me up

FSU wins decisively at #5 UF.

What a win for FSU. That was really the only marquee OOC match up for them and they delivered in a big way. Should be 12-0 heading into the match up against Duke They look like a top 20 win. Huge win for the ACC as well.

Noles looked really good in this one. The played suffocating defense all night long and made Florida look terrible. FSU didn't really shoot the ball all that well either but they destroyed the Gators on the glass. There isn't a true superstar on this team but Terrance Mann dropped 20+ for the 5th straight game. Going into this season I wasn't so sure this team could make the tournament. Glad I was wrong.

Watched most of the game last night and one thing that jumped out me was that it appeared FSU was more athletic. FSU has some freaky athletes. Mann is a really good player. I figured he'd take a step up with Bacon, Isaac, and Rathan-Mayes gone.

 

[BigFin]

Mann might be more of a scorer now. Almost all his FG's come within 5 feet of the basket and he typically passes on taking wide open jumpers. That dude can slash, dunk, rebound, play D, and pass really well. If he ever developed his scoring, he'd be an All ACC Type & drafted. He was normally the high-energy glue guy. He will be sorely missed when he leaves. Angola-Rodas and CJ Walker look to be taking a step forward, too.

Notre Dame just lost to Ball State.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

So close but yet so far as we just couldn't get enough of a run to beat West Virginia.

UVa looked very good in a loss. Nothing to hang your head about

Just saw it on ESPN.com

Incredibly shocking

 

[ericd7633]

Ga. Tech loses to another mid major. Makes the win they had against Northwestern that much more baffling. Certainly doesn't bode well for NW's slim hopes of making the tournament, at least at this point.

Still missing Josh Okogie, but I didn't think they'd make the NCAA Tournament with him.

I mean, you should be able to beat Wofford without your best player if you're an ACC team that's good enough to make the NCAA's.

Yeah, I mean I wasn't all that high on them coming into the year, but to not be able to beat Grambling and Wofford is pretty bad.
