The ACC Thread

[douggie]

Still surprised that we’re starting our season on the road tonight.

Not an ideal opener for sure

 

[tomcat1]

Nothing surprises me anymore with these early games

I agree!

Cuse will have to wait until the second game to start outscoring Markus Howard

Damn @Hitman Hart Deacs not looking so good to start the season.

Manning sucks and I won't care about basketball again until he is gone. Only way you can get me to a Wake Forest basketball game this year is if I'm invited by friends and am promised a trip to Lexington BBQ

Wasn't able to watch the game thanks to lack of ACC Network (thanks Comcast!). But judging from the score, it looks like the defense hasn't lost a beat.

Since you are called 'HITMAN' I thought it was your job to get rid of Manning during the offseason. What am I saying since we can't even beat Georgia Tech at home? At least your Deacs are having a good football season and we are failing miserably at that too. I love Lexington BBQ too!

I think your Cavs should have been ranked higher in pre-season. Even though they lost a lot of offensive weapons nobody plays defense like your team does.

Cole Anthony is the real deal . . . he just wears the wrong uniform.

I was figuring that the prediction of being fourth in the ACC was fair this year though. The defense is going to keep us in games like usual if the offense can’t find it’s groove. I’m thinking next year, we’ll have a team capable of making a deep run in the tournament again.

Always remember, the best defense wins championships more times than not in all sports.

I'll be shocked if your Cavs don't finish better than 4th in the ACC!

After just one game he's the favorite to win POY

I guess it's a little too early to be handing out POY awards but he sure did carry the Heels in game 1.

 

[cooljack]

For GT to get a winning pct better than football won't be difficult.

They better hope he doesn't get hurt

You got that right!

I'm counting our win tonight over Sparty towards the Big10/ACC challenge

Sucks you guys aren't in it this season. I understand why given how things were projected, but still. I wish they would automatically take the team that finished last in the ACC the previous season and make that team automatically ineligible for the challenge.

Great win for your Hokies by beating Sparty as a huge dog!

I seriously do not understand why that isn't the case. It makes way too much sense to do it that way.

I'm convinced coach K has a say in things, thus needing to get his boys Capel and Brey each a game. ND goes 3-15 last year in conference and gets a top 5 MD team. Shit doesn't make sense. I get ND is supposed to be better, but that's absurd. Pitt is rightfully scheduled against Rutgers at least.
