The ACC Thread

[UVA_Guy81]

I have Big 10/SECN/Pac12/LHN but I pay for all of them. The ACC Network games typically air on either Comcast Mid-Atlantic(Wizards/Capitals channel) or Root Sports(Penguins/Pirates channel), which I get both of them.

Here in the DC area, a lot of the ACC Network games are on the MyNetwork channel.

This blows my mind

That'd be crazy if that happened. Don't think it will but with the way things have gone this year in the ACC, never say never. At least we did our part today, easily taking care of business against Pitt.

Palm and Lunardi are having a major disagreement about Syracuse.

Lunardi has the Cuse having a bye, while Palm thinks Syracuse is going to be one of the first teams out.

Wake's charmin soft defense strikes again

 

[Hitman Hart]

VT is excellent in taking the ball to the hoop, though. That ability could take them far

 

[Hitman Hart]

So happy and so proud of this team. Was on the bubble and closed out the regular season w/ 2 Top 50 wins.

Today couldn't have gone much better for UVA. Duke, UNC and Cuse are all on the opposite side of the bracket.

You're dancing?

Beating BC on Tuesday is a must. One of the best parts of Wake's resume, is that they don't have any sub-100 losses. Combine that with 3 Top 50 wins and you have to think they're in.

 

[bksballer89]

First team to 90 wins?

 

[bksballer89]

This game is good stuff

 

[bksballer89]

Duke losing this game would suck.

Duke losing this game would suck.

Duke made Berry look like Phil Ford minus the drinking problem.

Other than Louisville winning, I can't complain too much. I think that we will still have to win at least a couple of games in the ACC tournament to solidify a 4 seed on Selection Sunday.

I dunno. You guys should probably be in regardless of that. I've said all year .500 in conference will get any ACC team to the big dance. With Wake other index numbers and SOS, that should be a enough, especially considering some of the Big 10 teams stumbling over themselves down the stretch

If SU is in, it's because it's JB's last year and the committee would like to see him there. SU has to many bad losses and no good road wins. So I feel SU has to win two games in the ACC tourney which would at least give them a couple of decent neutral site Ws. And that ain't happening. They can beat Miami but that's far from a given. The Cuse won't beat UNC. I think Cuse is on the outside looking in.

Wake has really good numbers right now:

RPI: 30
Kenpom: 29
BPI: 30

Add that in with 3 Top 50 wins and 0 sub-100 losses and they're in pretty good shape. BC is ranked #158 in the RPI right now. Just have to beat them, because losing to a #158 RPI team is not the final impression you want to leave when you're considered a bubble team.

Heard an analyst last night say that the Big Ten should not get 8 teams in, because they are the #4 rated conference. Think the lack of elite or great teams in the Big Ten could end up hurting their bubble teams. Time will tell.

Yeah, bracketologists across the board seem to vary on Syracuse. Some think they are in enough to have a bye, others think they're out completely.

Definitely need to pick up a win in Brooklyn over Miami. Would be a resume booster. Mainly just need more wins away from the Carrier Dome. Only have two of those this year and they were @ Clemson and @ NCSU.
