The ACC Thread

[tomcat1]

Clemson NC State is basically a play in/elimination game in my opinion. I really think both of those teams need to win 2 just to feel safe.

I agree with you about this being an elimination game but it's highly unlikely that either one of these teams will win two since the winner gets Virginia.

Agree 100%. Just worried about their resume's as it stands, especially if a few more bid stealers pop up.

I do as well. I figured they were keeping him out till the UNC game and when they announced he was out, next logical conclusion they were keeping him out till the tournament

douggie and I had some communications about this, and even though Zion was probably ready to play at Carolina, Coach K decided that almost another week of healing for Zion was best for him and Duke.

He was so disgruntled exiting DSC Saturday because he wants to be out there so bad I hope he goes beast mode Thursday night. Other news Bolden is definitely out with an MCL sprain, probably could manage a go by S16 if Duke makes that but wouldn't be 100%, and you know how that goes.

Hopefully Zion goes beast mode early in the game so that he can rest a lot of the second half as he gets himself back into playing condition, right?

Yes, that worries me too!

Yeah.. Little losing should be character for this team... They had to learn they weren't indestructible and needed to be humbled

I think this All-ACC first team could beat any team in the NBA playing below .500 if they had a couple of weeks to practice together. What do you think? I guess we will never know.

I've got a question for all of you who are my ACC buddies out there, which I hope is everyone I have communicated with on this thread, since I'm trying to get to know all of you better, and I hope that all of you will reply.

What are your five (5) favorite sports in order that you love the most?

Mine are:

1/ NFL (2nd place is not even close)
2/ MLB (Because I was blessed to play this game in the St. Louis Cardinals organization)
3/ College Basketball (And particularly the NCAA Tournament)
4/ College Football (Until Clemson got so good)
5/ NBA Playoffs (I could care less about the NBA regular season)

God made us all different so please chime in.

College Football
College Baseball
College Basketball
College Hockey (That's a good sport to watch)
College Softball (Fast moving game, plus the girls can hit now)

I have zero use for Pro sports anymore.

1. MLB. Always been a huge baseball guy. Maybe living in FL within an hour of 9 spring training teams makes me feel more connected? Was also fun growing up watching the Braves of the 90's.
2. NFL. I didn't want to put this here. But I'm hooked.
3. College Basketball. I played and coach basketball. Can't beat the tourney. Helps that FSU has been so good lately.
4. College Football. Would be higher with a little more parity. Tired of Alambama & Clemson each year.
5. NHL. The Lightning are so fun to watch. May not care as much if they weren't so dominant.





100. NBA.

Our best teams consist of guys that work their butts off night in and night out. Kabengele has been our leading scorer and until recently, he was only playing about 15-20 minutes a game over concerns of getting into foul trouble. Leonard is finally realizing this kid is really good.
