The ACC, simply put, is having an astonishing 2016 NCAA Tournament. The numbers speak for themselves – 6 Sweet 16, 4 Elite 8 Teams, and guaranteed 2 Final 4 Teams, and a team in the national title. An entire side of the Elite 8 bracket is ACC teams. The recording set marks range from financial …

Two pretty surprising job openings are now available in the ACC – Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh. Jamie Dixon is headed to TCU to talk over his at alma mater. In my opinion, this won’t end well for Dixon. Dixon is a good coach, but not a great recruiter. It will be tougher to recruit to …

With the ACC getting six teams into the Sweet 16, the conference will be well represented this weekend. The ACC had two number 1 seeds, UNC and Virginia and they are both favorites to make the Final 4 and possibly win a national title. Fans of each ACC school will obviously say my school needs …

With the ACC sending a record 6 teams to the Sweet 16, it’s been a great week of basketball for the conference. The ACC offices in Greensboro must be sharing high fives across the office, and I”m pretty sure John Swofford made a fist pump after each ACC win. North Carolina, Virginia, Miami, Duke, Syracuse, …

Quick post for tonight… I have a pet-peeve about the coverage for the NCAA Tournament. It’s getting kind of old to hear over and over again if this is the year a 16 beats a 1. So far number 1 seeds Virginia and Kansas knocked off Hampton and Austin Peay by an average of more …

Miami #3 Seed – South Region Miami shouldn’t have any problem with Buffalo in round 1, but Arizona or Wichita State could be a real issue in round 2. If the Canes survive round 2, then I like the matchup with Villanova. I don’t trust team’s that rely on the 3 like the Wildcats, and …

I’ll be the first to admit, I thought Brian Gregory was toast in the middle of February. Sitting at 13-12 (3-9), the Gregory watch was on.
