Buzz Williams is on his way to Texas A&M. There’s no way to sugar coat it. That’s a big loss for the Virginia Tech basketball program. When Buzz Williams was hired, we said it was a good to great hire. We told you that back in 2014.  Williams won’t be overwhelmed competing against the like …

Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski is arguably the 2nd best coach in the history of college basketball. Sorry John Wooden will always be number one. Krzyzewski is the winningest men’s college basketball coach in history. His legacy as an All-Time great coach is cemented. That said since 2010, Mike Krzyzewski has become more John Calipari than John …

Did I not tell you Virginia fans that you were headed to Final 4 on Tuesday? Were you worried? OK I also said Carson Edwards wouldn’t score 42 points again and he did. Hats off to that young man as he channeled Seth Curry and Randolph Childress in an at times unconscious offensive performance. It …

My buddy and podcast partner @Hokiesmash_ASD  got to, in person, see his Hokies in Washington DC give the Duke Blue Devils everything they wanted in more in a 75-73 Sweet 16 loss. It was definitely one of the best games of the tournament, and unfortunately for Virginia Tech they came up a bit short. It …

Virginia fans bristle when someone suggests that something is lacking in Tony Bennett’s resume. I can understand it too. Virginia under Tony Bennett has been enormously successful. They have plenty of wins against Duke and UNC. There are #1 seeds, 30+ wins seasons, ACC regular and tournament titles. If there’s something to accomplish in the …

Survive and advance they say… That’s exactly what Duke did today in a 77-76 win over UCF. It was the signature game of the tournament so far. Frankly Duke should have lost. If you saw the end of the Duke\Wake Forest game near the end of the regular season, this was a replay. Crazy ending …

We asked the question a few weeks ago who would be the @accnetwork’s  Paul Finebaum. In other words, who would be the radio show host or hosts. We suggested @MarkPacker and @WesDurham could be candidates separate or together. Their ACC Central show on Sirius/XM 371 is a great ACC radio. I listen to it any …

Another forgettable season for Georgia Tech basketball ended Tuesday. The Yellow Jackets finished the year 14-18 (6-12) after they went down to the ACC’s last place team Notre Dame. Josh Pastner’s three year mark at Georgia Tech is 48-53 ( 20-34 ), and he’s running out of time. Georgia Tech fans knew Pastner was taking …
