The ACC Thread

[douggie]

Impossible to win when Allen is out and these other guys can't make 3's. I didn't have a good feeling about this game since last week. I thought they would beat Cuse and lose this one.

This team has been nothing short of shit all season. I don't think they win another game.

They will. They just been very bad on the road. I think they lose to UNC next week but I have go idea how far they will go on neutral courts in the ACC tourney and the big dance.

Duke has so many issues.

Not the time to have injuries

Why isn't Allen playing, is he trippin' again?

Bad ankle suffered in the first minute of the Clemson game and a nagging turf toe since before Christmas. He also suffered a dislocated finger earlier this year. But he has been attending real classes and working towards his degree in three years so there's that.

Amile Jefferson cannot run and I don't think he can jump high enough to dunk right now, and he's 6'9".

Been a ton of drama surrounding Duke Basketball this year. Pretty weird in all honesty. Some things just aren't meant to be. Hope both of those guys are back in action in Brooklyn.

I predicted Wake would finish the regular season with a 16-14 (7-11) record. That prediction will probably end up being on the money.

Meanwhile on OGBoards, there is a close personal friend of Wes Miller (UNC-G coach) who thinks Wake should fire Manning and hire Wes Miller.

Giles needs to step up for real. Dude was the number 1 recruit and needs to prove it now.

I believe he's still hurt. He doesn't play a lot of minutes. He only logged 19 minutes of PT against Miami. He was wearing a heavier and more noticeable knee brace in this game. His draft stock keeps suffering as a result. Right now 19th overall, which is really surprising since he is only averaging just 4.7 PPG and 4.3 RPG.

Giles is a defensive liability. One of the worst p&r defenders in the entire conference. Good rebounder, though. He's only disappointing to those, like Jeff Goodman, who think that suffering 2 ACL injuries in 3 years is no big deal. He also had an additional surgery on his knee.

I think he needs to do the right thing and return to Duke next year.

20-8, .500 in the ACC (with 2 winnable games left), 6-5 against the current top 63 RPI, worse loss of the year is @NCSU.

Sounds like a 10 seed

In a year with a bunch of good but not spectacular teams, that is very puzzling

Bc you probably watch more cbb than some of the committee members. Same with the CFB playoff, if you're getting innendated with certain teams (by sources who some deem reputable), it certainly can impact your judgement to some degree.

Doesn't Lunardi have like 98% success rate? That's probably why
