Duke’s first game against Pitt and former Blue Devils assistant Jeff Capel on Tuesday brought up a touchy subject with Mike Krzyzewski. Capel’s surprise move to Pitt had generated speculation that Duke recruiting might suffer. Try telling Michigan State coach Tom Izzo that Coach K is suddenly struggling to land one-and-done prospects. Michigan State was …

The 2019 ACC Football schedule was released a few days ago, and I’ve had a chance to look it over. Let me tell you 5 things I like about the schedule. 1) ACC Conference games to open the season and launch ACC Network. We already knew Georgia Tech at Clemson would launch the ACC Network …

Jim Boeheim, Syracuse’s 73-year-old coach, said something that helps explain Jeff Capel coaching Pitt basketball tonight against Duke rather than seated next to Mike Krzyzewski, 71, for another year as his associate head coach. Boeheim responded to a question about retirement before the season began at the ACC media day in Charlotte. His answer seems …

This is going to be a weekly article, where I seed the ACC teams and where I think they’d should be placed if the tournament started the same day as my posting. In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any losses …

Virginia and ESPN’s College GameDay crew are at Duke’s Cameron Indoor Stadium Saturday for an ACC first-place showdown. The unbeaten Cavaliers (16-0) are 4-0 in conference play and the Blue Devils 14-2 and 3-1. But what about the other 3-1 teams in range of a first-place tie if Duke wins? After all, there are four …

For all Cameron Indoor Stadium’s charm on television, it’s not a modern grandiose palace with plush accommodations tucked away from the masses. The hallway to the locker room is a few steps down the door from the very modest media room. I happened to be standing in the doorway after the second of Duke’s two …

Here were go again… A big ACC basketball game that we have to struggle to find on television. This time it’s the biggest Virginia vs Virginia Tech matchup in history.

NC State gritted out a win against Pitt yesterday. Now, that shouldn’t sound like a big deal, except when you look at that kind of win in the context of NC State’s last 5-8 years of basketball. Those 8 or so years have been marred by a team that is inconsistent at best, and down …

Greetings Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. Hope your weekend is going well. Well, after three games, here are a couple of lines about each ACC men’s basketball team: Virginia – The Hoos, like always, are playing great defense – but are playing confidently on offense this year (very efficient). Seems like the ACC regular …
