Road Worriers: This weekend was a testament to the parity of the ACC in baseball. The five teams in Baseball America’s top 25 rankings for the week were a combined 9-6 in conference play this weekend, despite all playing unranked teams. Two of those ranked teams suffered series losses on the road this weekend, No. …

McKay Saves The Day: The marquee series of the first weekend of ACC conference action was the meeting of top-25 squads Miami and Louisville in the Bluegrass State. A six-run seventh inning gave the Cardinals the opening win, while Miami jumped out to an 8-0 lead in the second game and coasted to a 9-5 …

It’s been another exciting week in the Atlantic Coast Conference, featuring misspelled jerseys, another crazy Virginia fan, and Roy Williams spitting hot fire at UNC fans. However, in all the excitement, you may have missed the ACC connection to the Daytona 500, or this guy wearing a golden thong. That’s what I’m here for! 1 …

It was an exciting week in the Atlantic Coast Conference. We had upsets, overtimes, snowstorms, and a little basketball game in Durham between two Tobacco Road schools. We also had boogers. Let’s go to the videotape! 1 – Virginia – The Cavaliers had a couple of scares this week from Tobacco Road opponents, but held …

Typically, this space is used for a snarky, joke-filled look at the teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference. This week, I wanted something slightly different. There have been many tributes over the past three days to the great Dean Smith, former North Carolina head coach. I won’t pretend this will be the best or most …

While everyone was talking up deflated balls, depressing commercials, and maybe a football game, there was still plenty of exciting basketball to be seen in the ACC. It was the week where the barrier between the top seven and the bottom eight was shattered, and the week Virginia’s perfect season gained a blemish. 1 – …

January has nearly come and gone, and we are entering the stretch run of conference play. Who will announce themselves as contenders entering March? Who will wane down the stretch? Who will give us bizarre Vines of noted coaches staring through brick walls while children cry beside them? So many questions, and so few answers. …

A sentiment I hear often this time of year is that this weekend is when college basketball truly begins. By which, they are inferring they’d rather watch the NFL, but there’s no playoff game next weekend so I guess we’ll watch some college basketball. WELL I’LL TELL YOU SOMETHING, SIRS AND MA’AMS. ACC BASKETBALL IS LIFE. …

There weren’t a lot of shakeups in last week’s rankings, which virtually guaranteed a complete remodeling for this week. And boy, did we get that. Now to sort out the wreckage and try to rank them one through fifteen … and laugh a little. 1 – Virginia: Now just one unbeaten remains in the ACC, …

Welcome back to the ACC Basketball Power Rankings. If you missed them yesterday (you didn’t), I held off a day realizing that Thursday and Friday are typically the off days in this year’s ACC schedules. Maybe I could have done a little research before starting this weekly practice and done it on Thursday all along, …

It’s almost time to celebrate a new year. A fresh start, a chance to carry out those resolutions, and 365 more opportunities for #goacc greatness. There wasn’t much #goacc in basketball circles this week, however, as most teams rounded out their non-conference slate to end 2014. 1 – Duke: Holy Toledo! The Blue Devils easily …

‘Twas the day before Christmas, and all through the south … and northeast … and parts of Indiana … not a creature was stirring, not even an ibis. The jerseys were hung in the lockers with care, in hopes that the NCAA would not soon be investigating there. The players were nestled all snug in …

It was a pretty slow week for ACC basketball, as exams cut into playing schedules. Only one game paired ACC teams against each other, and most were against weaker teams from small conferences. Thus, there wasn’t a lot of shake-up in the rankings, but there was no shortage of drama, coaching rants, and Karl Hess. …

With the ACC Football Championship behind us, the only thing left in football season is the bowl parade during the holidays and this newfangled playoff. Until then, we have basketball to entertain us! By entertain us, of course, I mean give us a few games to watch but not that many because student-athletes will be …

It’s time for one last go on the football power rankings before we shift over to basketball mode. Rivalry week was a great one for the ACC, especially for its members that faced the SEC. 1 – Florida State: Another week, another poll where Florida State drops out of the top spot despite having zero …
