The ACC Thread

Good Luck tonight. But I think my boys got this one.

Duke could really be flirting w/playing on Tuesday in the ACC Tournament. Still have road games @ Notre Dame, @ Virginia and @ UNC. Along with playing FSU and UNC at home still. And that doesn't include what are tricky games @ Wake Forest and @ Miami. The worst seed I can remember Duke getting in the NCAAT in my life time was a 6 seed in 2007(and I thought that was generous). I think this team is setting themselves up to be worse than that. What a crazy turn of events. Going from an almost unanimous #1 team in the preseason to now potentially falling out of the top 25 with a loss to Wake on Saturday.

This Duke team is bad. They just lost to NCSU at Cameron. They can damn sure lose at Joel Coliseum Saturday.

Wake has scored 87+ in three straight games. They definitely have some firepower on offense, but it is a road game and despite Saturday's win, I'm still questionable about this team's ability to perform on the road. Syracuse can also score the ball. I tend to agree with you on this one.

I'm hoping Wake can go at 1-1 this week. Might have to outscore Duke this Saturday in a shootout to make that a reality. It'll be tough, but its possible.

I hope UVa plays as good against Nova as they did tonight.

UNC's 2005 national title team lost to a Santa Clara team that finished 15-16. Games in November have the potential to be irrelevant if you can turn it around in conference play. Problem is I don't really see NCSU doing that.

This Duke team has chemistry issues right now. Its fixable, but I'm hoping it isn't fixed by Saturday.

I was more or less just dickin around making fun of Illinois for being bad than anything else. If NCSU does turn it around and play well the rest of the way they could be a second round team

Collins plays much bigger than he looks. GG Hart.

He carries all of that pretty well. The man's a beast.

FSU plays a turd of a game. But give Pastor and GT credit. They're not bad.

No easy road games in this conference

Yeah, #6 in the country was flying a little too close to the sun for us...

Perhaps. But still a Top 10 team, IMO.

Well, hopefully last night serves as a reminder that this can happen against any team on any night if we aren't ready to play... Hoping this is the kind of loss that teaches that lesson so we don't bow out early in the Tourney...

I'll happily take the win head to head

UNC has hit about 40 3s, and those they actually miss for some reason just turn into offensive rebounds and either putbacks or more 3s.

One of the stranger ACC teams in recent memory. Looked somewhat poor in OOC (Tennessee and Georgia are a lot better than one would suspect), conference play starts up and they beat UNC by 12. They then proceed to lose to Duke by 53 points. They have looked like a very good team since then.
