In a game that should have solidified Clemson’s NCAA positioning, the Tigers came out flat, disinterested, and sloppy against Virginia. They rallied in the second half to give themselves a chance but ended up losing 66-65. Clemson is descending toward the bubble once again. This time if Clemson misses the NCAA tournament, I don’t think …

It’s been a strange ACC conference season. Once you get past UNC and Duke team after team has gotten to the bubble only to fall back. Clemson was a lock for the dance after a great November and December, but once they got into conference play they couldn’t sustain any momentum as they sit 14-7 …

As we move along with conference season, we ask the three biggest ACC basketball questions for this week. Can Duke win at UNC?  Duke dispatched Virginia Tech on the road Monday without a lot of resistance. It was Duke’s best performance since their win over Baylor in December.

I will beat this drum even if ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips doesn’t. Maybe he’ll chime in and defend his conference eventually, but I wouldn’t count on it, but basketball observers suggesting the ACC is a 2-3 NCAA bid league aren’t living in basketball reality. I won’t even give credence by naming the worst offenders. Doing …

It doesn’t matter how well their teams play for stretches, NC State’s Kevin Keatts and Clemson’s Brad Brownell always find themselves back on the hotseat. When it looks like they have things solved, they don’t. They then find themselves on and off the bubble and far more often than not end up missing the NCAA …
