Mike Krzyzewski returned to the bench from week-long COVID-19 isolation protocols with some lengthy discussions. The initial comments enthusiastically praised his team’s continued improved offensive chemistry resulting in a 79-68 win over Wake Forest Saturday afternoon at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Blue Devils (4-2, 3-0 ACC) have won three straight games since demoralizing back-to-back losses …

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing Like we did with College Football, where we periodically checked in on the ACC COY race we are going to the same with College Basketball. It should have been NC State’s Dave Doeren in the fall, but the ACC media didn’t agree. Will they agree this time? Who are the …

Wendell Moore didn’t shrink from the challenges – emphasis on plural. Moore snapped a season-long drought when the sophomore scored 25 points to lead the Blue Devils past Boston College 83-82 on Wednesday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The 6-foot-5 guard/forward had scored only 19 points in the season’s first five games, a slump that …

Ohio State entered 2020 as one of two schools out of 127 in the Football Bowl Subdivision with a chance to defeat Alabama’s national all-star team. Two was fewer than three other schools in the College Football Playoff. The other one with a chance was Clemson, but Alabama doesn’t have to worry about the Tigers, …

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing. 15. Boston College (2-7) Last week: 15 You’re going to lose a lot of games when you rank in the 300s on defense. 14. Wake Forest (3-1) Last week: 14 Wake Forest is shorthanded and hasn’t played much. It showed against Georgia Tech. 13. Miami (4-4) Last week: 13 Miami …

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing With NC State going down to a bad Kentucky team as Bailey Hockman threw interception after interception. North Carolina was the ACC’s last shot at a bowl win. They were decided underdog against Texas A&M with multiple opt outs, but led 27-20 in the 2nd half. They couldn’t hold the …

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing If you’re a Clemson fan, what you witnessed Friday night was a total disaster. Ohio State did whatever they wanted offensively. If they wanted to run they did. If they want to pass this did. Nothing Brent Venables could draw up was slowing down Ohio State. Not only was it …

Michigan State’s College Football Hall of Fame coach, never short on engaging stories to tell, took on an impromptu role as Masters of Ceremonies.

The Auto Zone Liberty Bowl Thursday afternoon in Memphis offers an contrast between independent Army with its 9-2 record facing Big 12 member West Virginia as a 5-4 team. Aside from their records and conference affiliations, does that refer to the Black Knights’ four backs in a triple-option offense facing the Mountaineers’ one-back passing attack? …

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing This will be a quick post. I didn’t expect Wake Forest to beat Wisconsin. I predicted a loss. https://allsportsdiscussion.com/2020/12/27/predicting-each-acc-bowl-game/ What I didn’t expect was such a uncharacteristically sloppy effort from the Deacs. Under Dave Clawson, Wake Forest doesn’t always win, but they seem to rarely beat themselves. Wednesday Wake Forest …

You’re never happy with a loss. Moral victories don’t usually mean much, and Miami should be fuming at a 37-34 loss to Oklahoma State. That said not all losses should be weighed the same. Last year Miami collapsed to finish the season and looked dreadful doing it. Manny Diaz was already drawing grumbling from the …

Oklahoma State doesn’t have the star power UNC does especially with Chubba Hubbard opting out, but it’s still a potent offense. I think …
