The ACC Thread

Sorry bro

Yeah, we probably are fucked now. I think a .500 conference record is the cutoff for tourny bids and I don't see us maintaining one with Clarke out. Some really rotten luck there.

This Wake team continues to screw themselves out of an NCAA bid

Shelton Mitchell is a good player. But how about that Clemson crowd? Or lack of one? They have more crowd attendance when they issue pads in football.

Mitchell was a former Wake signee under Bzdelik

Yep, then he ended up at Clemson after he transferred from Vandy, right?

Correct.

Honestly, i didnt care all that much about Wake making the NCAAs this year, because I firmly believe(d) they were still a year away. The emergence of Collins on NBA draft boards has my ass hella tight, however.

Nice win at Pitt. I think they can still finish with a .500 record in conference. Should be able to beat Clemson, BC, and at least one of the final 2 home games against Miami and Wake

Didn't see that coming considering the circumstances and Pitt being a bit better of late. Every one of those teams left isn't a sure win though. BC is actually pretty good at home despite not winning. They just ND a scare and almost beat UNC there as well. But the way the Bracketology guys are talking, it looks like sub .500 ACC teams are gonna make it in this year. So if we can get 1 more win out of last 5 games, we're probably in

If tonight's game is anything like the last two meetings, it will be a barn burner!

UVA -5.

If Duke can win this one, then the Duke we thought we were getting in November is back. Unfortunately for the rest of us.

That line blows my mind with how each team has been playing as of late.

Sorry dude, I just don't have faith in this team right now.

Understandable

Yep, I understand how you feel. That's how I felt 2 weeks ago. That's part of the ebb and flow of a season. None of these losses in the ACC are season enders either. It's just very, very difficult to string together wins with this kind of competition.

While it has been tough to win on the road in the ACC, blowing double digit leads to Syracuse and VT makes zero sense. If they can't close out games against squads that are middle of the road, then how do they expect to do it against teams such as Duke & UNC. The way this team is playing right now, I have no faith in them getting past the round of 32.
