Last year, Virginia got a bid to the NCAA tournament as a last-four team. They deserved the bid, but they received a lot of criticism for their inclusion. They promptly went out and lost by 25 to Colorado State. This year, the committee made the correct decision and included UNC in the field. They are …

Wednesday UNC clobbered Notre Dame 76-56. The win moved Heels 21-12 (13-7). The victory itself doesn’t put UNC into the Big Dance. Notre Dame finished the season 15-17 (8-12), but losing would have been devastating for the Heels. They didn’t lose and they looked impressive in wiping out the Irish. UNC’s resume is being questioned …

No one will argue the ACC is down this year, but it didn’t have to be as tenuous with NCAA bids as it is. I’m not talking about money or coaches. The ACC as it is currently constructed should have had at least 6 bids and probably 7. There are 3 ACC locks, Duke, Clemson, …
