The ACC Thread

[tomcat1]

19 and 20 locations were already set, but the way this was written makes me think that the DC/NYC/CLT/GSO rotation is going to be a thing.

I'm old school and I still can't get use to the ACC Tournament being played anywhere but in North Carolina.

will @Great Dayne be back in time to give us his predictions for NC State vs Wisconsin?

Apparently he showed up on August 24th. My guess is he's waiting til they play and beat a team of significance for football.

His bball takes are pretty awesome (homerish) too. He thought Kobe King was a one and done prospect. Lmao.

Yeah, he's lurking but not posting. You're probably right. Him disappearing right after Wisconsin lost in the Big Ten CG, then reappearing after they beat Miami in the Orange Bowl is one of my favorite moments in SportsHoopla history. His explanation of going on vacation for the entire month of December was also pretty great.

Yeah, but there's now 15 teams in the ACC so it needs to be moved around more. With UVa being elite again with VT being an up and comer, DC is a great location for it. I prefer Atlanta to Brooklyn. More teams in a reasonable driving distance to Atlanta.

A rotation between Atlanta/DC/Greensboro/Charlotte makes all of the sense in the world to me, but the ACC doesn't agree.

It was also funny he showed up around the start of the normal B1G schedule, and talked about how Wisconsin was going to go on a run and they proceeded to lose to Rutgers and then lost like 6 out of 7 or something like that. lol.

I hear you man but I think another part of the big picture is that like most things in life, it's all about money by having the ACC Tournament in much larger cities than Greensboro or even Charlotte to fill the hotels and restaurants in our major cities on the east coast. Heck, I'm so old that I remember when all of the ACC Tournaments use to be played in Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh which was NC State's home court at that time. But you're right, with the expansion of the ACC teams and geography there are a lot of sites to pick from now.

That's significant news for them. I thought uva was going to have depth issues. This will help with that. Starting 5 looks really good now.

SU has a very good team this year.

Yes. Duke has the most talent by far but I don't think they win a national title. They'll be fun to watch though.

2 of them are only at duke because the nba dictates it.....

 

[BigFin]

FSU starting #17 in the AP, #15 in Coach's Poll

I like it better when we start out as "others receiving votes", then work our way up.

And one of those should still be in high school

i wish my team had your problems....

 

[tomcat1]

My man douggie is being realistic guys but I can tell you this by living in the heart of ACC country, no coach in America can take young talent and develop them into seasoned talent by late February any better than Coach K can and if this happens, which has happened many times in the past, Duke will make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.

Your Cavs have built a great basketball program in recent years and they are going to be hard to guard once again. How could any college basketball fan not love the ACC?
