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.

#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 …

They’re some of the top basketball recruits in the nation, but they also are essentially strangers in this oddest of seasons. The COVID-19 pandemic slowed their transition from highlighting individual skills in AAU ball to executing at the Division I college level. The eight days without a game — following losses at home to Top …

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing. 15. Boston College (1-5) Last week: 15 Boston College is one of the worst defensive teams in college basketball. BC really needs to move on from Jim Christian. 14. Wake Forest (2-0) Last week: 11 Wake Forest hasn’t done anything wrong, but it’s hard not to move teams past them …

Time moves quickly in modern college basketball, especially in the era of NBA one-and-dones. Or in the case of Tre Jones, two-and-done. A year ago, Jordan Goldwire was the inexperienced guard without a career start learning to complement Jones, the returning starting point guard. They grew into a good fit. The lightly recruited 6-foot-2, 184-pounder …

Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski held court encircled by reporters, as usual, at the 2019 ACC media session in Charlotte – back in the pre-pandemic gathering days – when the subject turned to him rather than his team. “I’ve had enough stories written about me,” he said politely. “If I never had another story written …

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing. 15. Georgia Tech (0-2) Last Week : N/A Georgia Tech had a disastrous opening week with losses to Mercer and Georgia State. Josh Pastner did as poor a job as any coach in the country preparing his team for COVID world college basketball. 14. Pittsburgh (1-1) Last Week: N/A Somebody …

Anyone that listens to our ACC podcast with @Hokiesmash_ASD and myself or reads this blog or follows me on twitter @TalkinACCSports knows I am not a fan of Josh Pastner. As far back as 2016, I was skeptical of the Pastner hire. From that piece comments from his former Mempis player Shaq Goodwin were a …
