Clemson basketball belongs back in the Top 25.
Rankings pulled from http://warrennolan.com/basketball/2021/index There’s a basketball team in the ACC that is 15-5 (9-5) with a resume of wins that’s just about any team outside of Baylor, Gonzaga, and Michigan would be happy to have. They are also un-ranked and they shouldn’t be. It’s time to put Clemson back in the top 25, and …

Georgia Tech shows “maturity” in resume win over Virginia Tech
After the gut-wrenching loss to Clemson, Georgia Tech sat 9-8 (6-6) with the season teetering on total collapse. The Jackets needed a 5-1 finish to get them to 14-9 (11-7). That’s the target record, I’ve feel the Jackets need to get into the Big Dance. Three games later after a hard fought win over Pitt, …

Boeheim spared Cameron Crazies but not a loss at Duke
Oh, how the Cameron Crazies would have let Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim have it. COVID-19 fan restrictions not only offered respite from Boeheim coaching to counter Duke fans, he also was spared 40 minutes of vocal chants.

Hurt comparisons from Bennett and Bilas take flight; Heels empty bench
It’s late February. That means Duke and North Carolina should be peaking for the final stretch leading to the post-season. Except this year it’s about playing their best basketball to earn a bid – not at a No. 1 seed. Duke (10-8, 8-6 ACC) celebrated like it had won an ACC Tournament or NCAA regional …
