Virginia Tech was on the NCAA bubble coming into their game tonight against the Virginia Cavaliers. At 17-7 (6-5), but lacking a top 30 win the Hokies needed a signature victory. They got one Saturday night by knocking off #2 ranked Virginia in Charlottsville no less. Gameday was there, and after Villanova went down to St. …

ACC Bubble Analysis for February 6, 2018
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 …

Tony Bennett will be the ACC Coach of the Year, but don’t forget Brad Brownell and Kevin Keatts.
If you are a Virginia fan, don’t worry here. I’m not trying to make argument that anyone other Tony Bennett should be the ACC Coach of the Year. His record this season speaks for itself. The Hoos were the pre-season pick to finish 6th in the ACC, and were a fringe top 25 team at …

Miami and Florida State pick up wins Saturday that bolster their NCAA resumes.
Virginia, Clemson, and Duke are locks for the NCAA tournament. Louisville is in decent shape, and UNC still has some strong OOC wins to help their resume. Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, Pittsburgh for one reason or another have played their way off the bubble. I mean way off. Syracuse is poised to join …

Virginia stakes it claim as the country’s best team after win at Duke.
I’d been looking forward to watching this Virginia Duke game all week. Acc writer David Teel said it was a game to savor. It lived up to the hype. A top 5 matchup that had it all, and after Virginia won 65-63 at Duke the Hoos can legitimately claim it is the country’s best team. Villanova and …

Is Danny Manning the man at Wake Forest?
Well, we here at All Sports Discussion were asked about Danny Manning and if he was the answer at Wake Forest. Well, it took me a week to look into this issue and I have come to the conclusion that he is! Danny Manning is in his 4th year in Winston-Salem. He has turned around …

@DavidTeelatDP is right to call Virginia Duke a game to savor.
Saturday afternoon 2 PM, the ACC’s game of the year and arguably the regular season national game of the year will be played on CBS. It’s Virginia and Duke. Esteemed ACC writer @DavidTeelatDP calls it a game to savor in a recent piece he wrote. He’s right too. From his article… How will No. 2 Virginia manage the …

Time to appreciate what Virginia basketball can do on defense.
In the ACC’s basketball pre-season basketball poll, Virginia was predicted to finish 6th. That’s not bad. If Virginia finishes 6th in the ACC, they’ll make the NCAA tournament. With the recent success of Virginia basketball, though that’s sounds like a little bit of a rebuilding year. The Hoos haven’t finished lower than 5th in the ACC …

ACC fans won’t have to suffer with Blackout problems of their favorite teams much longer.
Today a good friend of the blog @KilroyFSU, wanted to watched his Florida State Seminoles play the Louisville Cardinals in men’s basketball. He was in Jacksonville, Florida. Getting a bit concerned that this hotel in Jacksonville doesn’t have channel 4 which is where I think the FSU-Louisville game will be on. — KilroyFSU (@KilroyFSU) January 11, …

Let Central Florida have their National Championship fun.
Central Florida just completed the greatest season in their football program’s history. They went 13-0 after beating Auburn 34-27 in the Chick-fil-A bowl, who by the way defeated both teams Alabama\Georgia who are playing the national title game. The Golden Knights are the only undefeated untied team in FBS football. Does Central Florida have an …
