The ACC sucks, there is no arguing it. I think Louisville, Duke, and FSU could all make a Final Four run, or even win it all though - it is as wide open a year as any.Lunardi and USA Today both have the ACC getting 4 bids. Damn, that's low. And only NC State is listed as a "Second Four Out", no teams in the "First Four Out". Bad, bad year for that league.
You should see them in Winston-Salem...Man. Duke sucks in Raleigh.
They actually didn’t play horribly last night IMO. They showed up and fought. But they were called for an insane number of fouls. They also simply pissed away the ball when up 8-9 late. A deserved loss. K seems pissed that they haven’t grown up yet.You should see them in Winston-Salem...
TrueIt's a coverup for the fact that Duke just really wants UNC to finish last in the ACC
Real interesting matchup for Duke tomorrow when they head to Virginia and one of the best coaching jobs taking place this season by Tony Bennett.It's a coverup for the fact that Duke just really wants UNC to finish last in the ACC
long weekend at the baseball and softball fields but WAHOOWAA to you and all the Hoos!! I tried to post Saturday night but Jay Huff blocked it!WAHOOOWAAA!!!
this is his best coaching job in his tenure at UVA.I was very wrong about UVA - you'll be hard-pressed to find a better job by anybody than TB has done with that team given what they lost. 7-1 in one possession games and heck, they might win the ACC again.
Lunardi has them as a 9 seed in the Kansas region today. I'm pretty sure Kansas would take them out easily, but it's definitely not a team you love seeing in the second round, especially with virtually no prep time.Doesn’t matter whether UVA is playing Charlottesville High or the Celtics, will be a 3 point game in the 50s. I wouldn’t want to be a top seed facing them on the first weekend of the tournament.
Tony B is a wizard.
Don’t sell yourself short. Early in the year they were god awful there is no getting around that. The doomsday scenario for UVA ended back in January though as Bennett should get some COY votes for the job he has done in-season along with Kelvin Sampson, Cooley, and some others.I was very wrong about UVA - you'll be hard-pressed to find a better job by anybody than TB has done with that team given what they lost. 7-1 in one possession games and heck, they might win the ACC again.
If I was a 1 seed, I'd be more terrified of them as an 8/9 than a 4/5, especially with the lack of prep time.Wonder where the Hoos end up. I think they deserve better than a 7. Maybe even be up to a 4/5 which should terrify the one seed that gets paired with them.
That’s fair but at this point it seems quite clear to me they are one of the top 25 teams. 6 seed seems like the floor to me.If I was a 1 seed, I'd be more terrified of them as an 8/9 than a 4/5, especially with the lack of prep time.
Virginia 57Doesn’t matter whether UVA is playing Charlottesville High or the Celtics, will be a 3 point game in the 50s.
Yep. I should have noted that if the other team really sucks then the game might be in the 40s, as we saw with UVA 46 Miami 44 earlier in the week.Virginia 57
Louisville 54
They can't even watch it now...Carolina was just ahead of the curve in skipping the NCAA tournament over coronavirus fears.
Statement from the Atlantic Coast Conference (Wednesday, March 11):
In light of the rapidly changing landscape regarding COVID-19, the latest developments nationally from health authorities and today’s announcement by the NCAA COVID-19 Advisory Panel, the ACC will alter the remainder of the ACC Tournament.
After consultation with the league’s presidents and athletic directors, it was determined that beginning Thursday, March 12, all games will be played with only essential tournament personnel, limited school administrators and student-athlete guests, broadcast television and credentialed media members present.
bingoCarolina was just ahead of the curve in skipping the NCAA tournament over coronavirus fears.
Too bad we couldn't give Diakite, Key, and Kersey a nice send off. I would like to have seen what they could do in a weak field this year.UVA remains defending national champion for another year
Watch them get 8 next year.Lunardi and USA Today both have the ACC getting 4 bids. Damn, that's low. And only NC State is listed as a "Second Four Out", no teams in the "First Four Out". Bad, bad year for that league.
Wonder if this cancellation is going to bring more potential one-and-dones back for a second season.Too bad we couldn't give Diakite, Key, and Kersey a nice send off. I would like to have seen what they could do in a weak field this year.
I think they were declared ACC champions, which they are. Traditionally the ACC has a regular season champ and a tourney champ. With no tourney, there is one champ, which is FSU. Which is fine and fair.https://www.google.com/amp/s/fanbuzz.com/college-basketball/ncaa-acc/fsu-acc-tournament-champs/amp/
Is this a misunderstanding, or did the ACC really award Florida State the ACC Conference TOURNAMENT championship?
I know this doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things happening in the world right now, but if that’s true, that’s just...awful. They literally did nothing to earn the ACC tournament championship. They didn’t even play a single game yet.
The ACC should have awarded them the regular season championship, which they earned, and simply said there’s no tournament champion this year because, well, the tournament got canceled before it could be finished.
I really hope this is just a misunderstanding of what transpired. Anyone know the real scoop?
Ok yes THAT is fair. But there were numerous articles that suggested that they were awarded the TOURNAMENT championship too, which would have been wrong. But it seems like that's not actually the case. Ok good. Thanks.I think they were declared ACC champions, which they are. Traditionally the ACC has a regular season champ and a tourney champ. With no tourney, there is one champ, which is FSU. Which is fine and fair.
Not that traditionally - the tourney champ was the champ until recently when they added a regular season thing to make unc feel betterI think they were declared ACC champions, which they are. Traditionally the ACC has a regular season champ and a tourney champ. With no tourney, there is one champ, which is FSU. Which is fine and fair.
I'm wondering if they are seriously considering allowing winter sports, like baskeball, to have an extra eligible season like they are with spring sports. I saw it out there but not sure thats real or even realistic.Wonder if this cancellation is going to bring more potential one-and-dones back for a second season.
The Florida Senate went a step further and proclaimed them National Champs.https://www.google.com/amp/s/fanbuzz.com/college-basketball/ncaa-acc/fsu-acc-tournament-champs/amp/

Too bad they didn’t pause it during Trump’s press conference. Missed the second half and went straight into the 1983 title game already in progress. So dumb.'82 Final being shown at Noon ET on CBS
So why the fuck didn’t they play the last 2 seconds of the NC State / Houston game?Too bad they didn’t pause it during Trump’s press conference. Missed the second half and went straight into the 1983 title game already in progress. So dumb.
Wait, is this true?So why the fuck didn’t they play the last 2 seconds of the NC State / Houston game?
