Any thoughts that Mike Krzyzewski would pull a Tom Brady and reverse his retirement decision during the season were scoffed at for good reason. They’d still be dismissed as ludicrous if such a claim came from anybody but Williams, whose credentials are former Duke basketball player and respected media personality with his various ESPN platforms. …

North Carolina is college basketball royalty. There’s no question about that, but there is always the debate of who is college basketball’s current top program? Is it Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, or UNC? How about a new recent entry like Villanova, Baylor, Virginia, or Gonzaga? Let’s make this easy, it is what you do in March …

Is it too early to start looking NCAA Baseball and Softball Projections? I don’t think so. As we start to turn the corner from college basketball to college baseball and softball, the ACC looks to be well represented. Projections are already being released so let’s take a look.

North Carolina did it. They slayed their arch-rival Duke 81-77 in the Final Four. The Tar Heels are now headed to the National Championship to play a red-hot Kansas team. It’s been a remarkable run for the Tar Heels, and we’ll talk more about the Title game Sunday and Monday, but for now, let’s think …

The Louisville women’s basketball team made a tremendous run to the Final Four, but it came to an end to against Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Gamecocks.

We’ve seen since the launch of the ACC Network in the fall of 2019, that sometimes the network hits the mark with its programming, and sometimes it doesn’t. A 10 part series covering the history of the ACC Tournament was a hit. As we said in January the poorly received documentary on Notre Dame’s football year …

The esteemed ACC media member @ByDavidTeel (David Teel) has weighed in on the ACC’s March success this year, and it is a very good read. It’s March, and it’s college basketball. That means the ACC should not be dismissed… ever. Fast forward to the current bracket, light on ACC teams to start but heavy when …

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a college football or college basketball game with more on the line in terms of bragging rights than this week’s Duke vs North Carolina Final Four game after playing earlier in the season. Maybe the 1996 College Football National Title game? When Florida beat Florida State 52-20 after Florida …

When the Elite Eight games were finalized, we said on the blog the ACC had 2 favorable matchups with Duke playing Arkansas and North Carolina facing St. Peters. Duke and North Carolina came through and are headed towards the most anticipated Final Four since the 1979 Bird vs Magic game. We’ll have plenty to say …

Miami’s Elite Eight loss was a tough pill to swallow for the Hurricanes. In a game they led by 6 at the half, the Kansas Jayhawks came out energized and aggressive. Jim Larranaga in one of his few mistakes of the NCAA Tournament tried to get Miami to the first TV Timeout. He should have …

Duke is headed to the Final Four for the first time since the 2014-2015 season. They won the national championship that year, and they may win another this year.

Duke is in Elite 8. North Carolina is in Elite 8. Miami is in Elite 8. Duke, North Carolina, and Miami have turned the Elite 8 into the ACC Invitational. This was supposed to be a down year for the ACC. Duke wouldn’t defend. North Carolina was too inconsistent. Miami was too thin, and wouldn’t …
