It’s officially March… That means March madness. Which ACC teams are locks and which are still trying to get into the Big Dance? In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any losses outside the RPI top (100) is considered a bad …

With all the latest rumblings I’ve heard about freshmen ineligibility, I’d figure I’d take a stab at it with 5 reasons why it isn’t necessary at all. While it’s only being considered by the Big Ten conference currently, eventually, talk will go to if all conferences should institute the rule. 1. Instituting a freshmen ineligibility …

With three games left on the #ACC basketball schedule for each team, the dust is beginning to settle. As an #ACC basketball fan, if you’ve been following games, despite overall records, the #ACC conference has a bright future ahead of itself.

However, in all the excitement, you may have missed the ACC connection to the Daytona 500, or this guy wearing a golden thong. That’s what I’m here for! 1 …

Well if you weren’t up all night screaming at your television Wednesday night wondering why the “UNC-Duke” rivalry is such a classic rivalry, I pity you. Tyus Jones stepped up when #Duke needed him to in the clutch. As we get in to the last couple games, it looks like the top 3 are going …

Sorry a day late on the bubble analysis, but it’s ready now. Where did your favorite ACC team end up? In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any losses outside the RPI top (100) is considered a bad loss, and outside …

First and foremost, I would like to say R.I.P. to #UNC head coach Dean Smith who was a legend and good person. He impacted a lot of lives on and off the basketball court and I wish more coaches like him existed. Without further adieu… Virginia (22-1 Overall, 10-1 Conference) Last 10 games: 9-1 The …

Typically, this space is used for a snarky, joke-filled look at the teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference. This week, I wanted something slightly different. There have been many tributes over the past three days to the great Dean Smith, former North Carolina head coach. I won’t pretend this will be the best or most …
