Virginia Tech was one that was not as success as the other #ACC teams. As @DeferredWalkOn said many times, the Hokies do not have a top 100 player on the roster – walked into a really difficult matchup with the toughest defensive team it played all year in Texas. No bueno. 2/ — Matthew (!! …

Raise your hand if you thought the ACC would lead the nation with the Big 12 for the most Sweet 16 teams in college basketball of any conference? Three ACC teams Duke, North Carolina, and Miami made the Sweet 16. Ok stop you’re lying. Even optimistic ACC observers like we at AllSportsDiscussion.com didn’t see this coming. …

This will be a short post for tonight, as I just got back from the Greenville, SC opening NCAA Tournament rounds. Just some quick thoughts from what I saw… Paulo Banchero’s talent level is unreal up close. I don’t care what they say about Auburn’s Jabari Smith. Banchero is better. He’s like a smoother bigger …

What would be the Sports Betting Odds have been that on the first Saturday of the NCAA tournament the ACC would still have 4 teams remaining in the field? After being maligned much of the season, and deservedly so, the ACC is having a stellar tournament. ACC teams are currently 6-1. North Carolina has already …

There is a lot to be said about North Carolina’s win over Baylor and what it means to ACC basketball as a whole. The maligned basketball conference has taken it on the chin for the last 2 years as the Big 10, Big 12, and maybe even SEC have sprinted past. ACC teams are reminding …

Yesterday we documented the ACC’s stellar 4-0 start in the post-season. That included NIT wins by Wake Forest and Virginia to go along with North Carolina and Notre Dame wins to open the NCAA tournament. Friday the ACC added to their strong post-season with a 3-1 Friday. As predicted Duke handled CS Fullerton, but that …

It hasn’t been a vintage ACC year in basketball. There’s no question about it, but the post-season always provides an opportunity for a little redemption. The early returns suggest the ACC might be able to make a little noise in March. In the NIT Virginia knocked off Mississippi State 60-57. The Bulldogs had wins over …

Best Mike Young – Virginia Tech I’m not even sure this is close. Sitting 10-10 (2-7), then at the halfway point of their conference season 11-10 (3-7) the Hokies looked done. Then the Hokies started winning, winning some more, and kept winning all the way to an improbable magical ACC Title run. Young finished the …

Good afternoon, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. Yes, I was wrong. I will call myself out. First, let’s talk about the fact that I thought Virginia Tech would host a National Invitational Tournament (NIT) tournament game. I was wrong: If don’t have a problem saying you wrong, then there’s something wrong – …

Congratulations to the Virginia Tech Hokies basketball team and all Hokie fans. The Hokies entered the ACCT needing a run to make the NCAA Tournament and left ACC Champions. What an incredible run by Mike Young and the Hokies after a 2-7 ACC start. Their NCAA Ticket is punched. Your 2022 @accmbb champions are @hokiesmbb!!! …

Selection Sunday is tomorrow! All year I’ve called for 5 ACC teams in the NCAA tournament. I’m staying with it. Duke, North Carolina, Miami, Notre Dame, and Virginia Tech. Yes Virginia Tech has pushed themselves in after their ACCT run to the finals. Things look much better on the women’s side for the ACC, but …

Virginia Tech is now the subject of much bubble debate. Did their win over Notre Dame get them into the NCAA tournament? I think yes, others think they did a run to the ACCT Finals. Let’s look at the prevailing thought on the Hokies status. Virginia Tech now sits 21-12 and 36th in the NET …

For much of the year, Wake Forest appeared to be a lock for the NCAA tournament, but a stunning 82-77 loss to Boston College to open their ACC tournament has left the Demon Deacons in a precarious position. You would think a 23 win team from the ACC would be fine, but an ACC team …
