The ACC Thread

[Ewa PGH Fan]

Pitt has some hope for a conference win after all.

Doubtfully.

Did Duke Win?

 

[douggie]

Getting out rebounded by BC is the most unacceptable result in Duke's loss. Especially after BC lost their top rebounder for the season to injury coming into the game at Chestnut Hill. That and the fact Duke's defense is non-existent.

BC has nothing inside with Hawkins out, Bagley and Carter didnt get enough post touches.

BC is a weird team. They arent good, but they are dangerous. Bowman and Robinson can light you up. If you can contain them to their season averages, a decent team will beat BC by double digits.

That back court of BC, man it's really good. I think they can get anywhere from 7-9 wins in ACC play.

I think 7-11 is their ceiling, with 4-14 being their floor. Its important not to make too much of one game.

We need a 'shocked' rating.

Lol I know

Wake is currently @ #64 in kenpom. Started the year @ #57. Seems odd since they started the season with losses to Georgia Southern, Liberty and Drake. Think their lowest kenpom rank was #80, so they have made up 16 spots in the past few weeks.

NCSU loses to UNC-G. Wes Miller is turning UNCG into a pretty solid program.

 

[ckhokie]

Shouldn't have lost to KY today. They shot better than they have all season, we turn it over 19 times.. Would love to have this one back.

We beat the gators yesterday!!

The ACC Coastal has 5 teams ranked right now..

4 - Duke
5 - UNC
6 - Miami
13 - UVA
24 - FSU

VT also receiving votes. I'm not sure I've ever seen that happen.

Divisions don't exist in basketball.

Was pointing it out as more of a coincidence thing than anything. Clearly schedules differ significantly for every team

Also, FSU is in the Atlantic Division, if we had divisions in basketball.

Good catch.

If we're going by divisions, that means the Coastal has 4 (out of 7) teams ranked in the Top 25.

Back in the 9 team ACC:

1992-93 Atlantic Coast Conference Season Summary | College Basketball at Sports-Reference.com

February 1, 1993:

#5- Duke
#6- UNC
#12- Florida State
#13- Wake Forest
#22- Georgia Tech
#24- Virginia

Back in the 8 team ACC:

January 20, 1981 (January 6 and January 13 also had 5 teams ranked)

#2- Virginia
#3- Wake Forest
#10- Maryland
#17- North Carolina
#19- Clemson

Just a quick search. I'm sure there are more examples (because this is a league that has a very rich history), but I'm not interested enough to do anymore research.

GT got worked last night in Athens. The Jackets are down to #112 on kenpom. BC is #82, NCSU is #81, Pitt is #164, Syracuse is #52 and Wake is #64. The rest of the conference is in the Top 40.

 

[Hitman Hart]

lmao, Luke Maye is 1-12 from the field so far against Wofford.
