The ACC Thread

[douggie]

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.

I don’t believe he has that much sway. If he’s bitching at refs you know how much power he wields. Regardless, VaTech is Duke's first ACC road opponent and that win certainly got everyone’s attention.

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

no love for the Hokies from Vegas as they’re +4 underdogs against Dayton.

Looks like Vegas knew what they were talking about.

These teams at the top are all deep flawed

They couldnt miss against G'town.

And Tre Jones played like John Stockton.

That was an awful loss-

Duke’s last home loss against a non-conference foe was an 83-82 decision against St. John’s on Feb. 26, 2000. They’ve won 150 straight home games against non conference opponents.

I believe that was taken for granted going into tonight's game

Yeah, that wasn't surprising. Obi Toppin is a lottery pick and Dayton should be very good. We shouldn't be a "good" team. We're a team that's capable of beating good teams on a given night

SFA was 263 in KenPom. Holy shit. Biggest upset since Chaminade over UVA IMO. Duke was the biggest favorite to lose in the last 15 years according to ESPN. Just incredible.

Wooden Legacy field reduced to 4 teams for 2020

I’d love to see a UVA-Kansas matchup.

Haha, I saw the replay. It looks like one of the kids behind the basket thought time expired and started cheering.

Either that, or a lone SFA fan among dookies

Took the words right out of my mouth. It's easy to do when you're #1 at home and you have that long of a winning streak. It had better be a wake up call for Duke. Early adversity let's see how they handle it going forward

How bias will the experts be when ranking duke next week? Definitely deserve to drop out of top 10 but won’t just like Kentucky didn’t

They will probably be 8-10 or around there. Which I think is fine. They did beat KU. They did beat Georgetown. 6-1 record.

That was a shocker, that's for sure, but I think the Duke youngsters will grow and learn from this.
The way this season has started which giant killer shows up next to take down another highly ranked team?
