The ACC Thread

Duke went on a 34-15 run from the 14:07 mark in the second half to get the big 1,000th victory for Coach K. Congrats Coach K!!!

I really think St Johns choked that game away. Up 10 with 8 minutes to go and you lose by 10? Missed free throws, unforced turnovers, and just played bad defense at the end. Congrats to coach K though on 1k wins. Extremely impressive.

I was really worried about that UVA game today. Hats off to the Hokies for giving it all that they had. If they played with that intensity every game, I think they'd be a little bit higher up in the ACC standings. I hope UVA doesn't have a long scoring drought like that against Duke next Saturday or it will definitely be our first loss of the season.

Speaking of Duke, congrats to Coach K on getting his 1,000th win. Really looking forward to that game next week. Should be a great one.

Man, I absolutely love reading twitter comments. During the game, VT fans were tweeting #loluva , making fun of UVa for only being up by 3 at halftime. After the game, those same fans were tweeting #fuckuva, because, well, we all know why.

You didn't see my twitter feed then.

Aside from football, wrestling, and (most likely) track, UVA is crushing us in about every sport this year.

He is definitely deserving, but as much as the media slobs of Duke's Okafor, I don't see anyone other than him winning it.

How did NC State lose? I'm confused?

They were up 71-66 with under a minute to go.

Top of the ACC is going to be awesome. UVA, Duke, Louisville, ND and UNC, all IMO are top 15 teams right now. What a week ahead. UVA plays Duke this week. Duke plays @ND, and @UVA. Louisville plays UNC. ND plays Duke and UNC plays Syracuse and @Louisville.

Outside of Duke's losses, the other 4 teams haven't lost an ACC game against anybody else outside of one of those other 4 teams.

UNC takes it in the head tonight. By 9:00pm....pretty baby blue cheerleards will be crying all over town.

It depends on which Syracuse team shows up tonight. Syracuse has the talent to win if the inside guys pound the boards and Cooney makes 50% of his shots. Can't start out a game giving a team a 14 point lead early as they did with Miami. That said, this one is not in the dome and the NC cheerleaders will be Just fine.

That's almost exactly what Christmas said.

"The UNC Cheerleaders...bitches be fine!"

Damn, the Cuse is catching +11.5. I just hope they cover cause I bet v-cash on them to do just that.

 

[purguy12]

UNC got this.

 

[purguy12]

Cuse weakness is Depth. Wont be able to run with UNC all game.

Cuse covers....barely. Cuse is up by 5 with 10 minutes to play and loses by 10. Christmas continues to dominate the paint. Quite an improvement from last year.

Good pick douggie. You gotta believe the Orange would cover 11.5.

And, uNC had twenty TO's. I'm hoping they do that against Duke. They also shot 55% for the game. I'm hoping they don't do that against Duke. It's hard to get a W at Chapel Hill. This isn't the same team that lost to Iowa earlier.

 

[jonvi]

Nah Douggie....UNC ain't pretty. She just looks that way. Duke's gonna be hard on em.

SU is rebuilding after a few decfections. Too bad this is the year Christmas starts playing man ball. He's been pretty quiet up until this year. Now he's trying to bust out when there's not much experience around him.
