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. We won’t know their opponent until Sunday evening, but Coach K’s swan song is turning into the magical season he dreamed of. Saturday evening, they played …

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 …

Usually when we do a Twitter reacts story, it is a school’s fans. St. Peters has become one of the greatest NCAA Cinderella stories in history and still going. After becoming the first 15 seed ever to make an Elite 8, how did twitter react? We see you @PeacocksMBB! #WingsUp 🦅🌴🏀 | #DunkCity pic.twitter.com/FUEyUtMmzf — …

The ACC has 3 Teams in Sweet 16. That is tied with the Big 12 for most in the country. It’s been a tremendous tournament for the ACC, as the rough OOC results are a distant memory. Duke, North Carolina, and Miami played like three top 10 teams this past weekend. Who knew that 15 …

Jim Larranaga’s legacy was cemented. He has coached George Mason and Miami to 10 combined NCAA appearances. He led George Mason to Final 4, won an ACC Title, and has been the national coach of the year. He’s also won nearly 700 games in his career. It still seems like he doesn’t get the credit …

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 …

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 …
