The ACC Thread

[tomcat1]

Duke struggled shooting and had a ton of turnovers tonight in a very physical game, Wake Forest outplayed them and should have won the game. Reddish was in foul trouble almost the whole game, Tre Jones scared the shit outta me going down with an apparent knee injury but came back later in the game and seemed to be fine to play on. Lots to clean up if they want to win games in March, with or without Zion.

This ACC Tournament is going to be crazy with what I am seeing going on lately.

Tough loss. Only a couple sketchy calls on Blackshear, but called him fouling out early on. Overall team played really well short handed. Hopefully 5 is back for Miami and we can get him rolling for the tourneys.

Only a couple? I'm not one to complain about the refs but we got fucked tonight. Blackshear picked up a bunch of fouls in the 2nd half, eventually fouling out and every one was some bullshit. It's no coincidence FSU got back in the game and won when he got in foul trouble.

Wake isn't just a bad team, they are horrific

Duke looks horrible without Williamson

Just remember if any of the three you mentioned die on the court they will die while doing what they love to do most.

I've said for years, and I still believe this, until ole Roy and Coach K retire, off the court hopefully, my Wolfpack will never be able to recruit against either one of them.

Very true. Yet State still claws there way through and you have to give them a lot of credit for it

Officiating was pretty bad down the stretch. Looking forward to the rematch at the ACC Tourney!

Funny how I honestly didn't expect to win last night, but that 1st half changes your perspective entirely. If we had been blown out I think I would have been less annoyed. Like an opportunity that wasn't expected slipped away.

Yeah, once Duke and UNC complete their recruiting we get the leftovers but at least the leftovers have been pretty good players in recent years. We need to grow more claws.

Is there a chance for a team other than Duke, UNC, and Virginia to win the ACC tournament this year?

I don't think so but we will have to wait and see.

Awful loss for NC State . This is the kind of loss that gets you a NIT bid

They are 5-8 against top 100 NET teams, and have two sub 100 losses. It's almost impossible to have an SOS of 200+ playing in a power conference, especially the ACC, but here we are. Worst Non Conf SOS in the country.

I've honestly been surprised so many still have them in prior to tonight

I had them in my last 4 BYES on Monday. This loss might just knock them out. Also, this locks in a Clemson vs. NC State 8/9 game in the ACC Tournament, basically an elimination game IMO.

Clemson got lucky as hell to win at ND tonight too . Man this bubble sucks . Seriously may be the worst in my 41 years on the planet

It's awful. Indiana has a real chance. Only reason I left them out on Monday is because they are just 1 game over .500 and the committee has never put a team 1 game over .500 in. They win out that might even be enough no matter what they do in the B1GT. I'm think the Gophers could probably even lose out. The only thing that will make the bubble stronger is if teams like Wofford, Buffalo, VCU, Gonzaga, Nevada/Utah St. lose in their conference tournaments. Honestly, I'd love to see a 2 bid So Con(maybe 3, but unlikely) 2 big MAC and 2 big WCC.

Yeah I think if there's ever been a year where the mid/low major leagues should get more multiple bids it's this year . I mean a team like Penn State legitimately has as good or better resume than teams people have as on from P6 leagues . You can't tell me teams like Toledo/Furman/Murray St don't deserve a shot when compared to some of them

Furman is an interesting case. That Nova win is huge. They've been flirting among last 4 in, first 4 out, for the last couple weeks for me. The bad thing for them is that they have a Non Con SoS in the 270's.

Usually I advocate for teams who schedule well but those teams usually are like 19-12 type teams on the bubble . This year we are debating teams who are going to be 16-15/17-14. To me that's a big difference . Even when UGA got in at 16-14 their SoS was number 1. These teams are nowhere close to the top SoS

gd it

what are the pack doing?
