Duke is headed to the Final 4 after burying a very good Alabama team by 20 85-65. It was an astonishing display of dominance, talent, and coaching by Duke who will enter the Final 4 as the favorite.

Remember in 2018 when the ACC was largely down in football and Clemson was an incredible national championship-caliber team? They went on to win it all in dominant fashion. In fairness, Syracuse finished 15th in the country and NC State won 9 games. They were pretty good, but you get the idea. This year ACC …

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 …

It’s the greatest postseason in sport – March Madness! How did the ACC fair? Well, the conference only got 4 bids, but you really can’t argue that it should have been more.
