This year the Final 4 will be made up with 4 schools from traditional major-conferences. We have College Basketball BlueBloods Kentucky, Louisville, Kansas and Ohio State. There is not a George Mason, Butler or VCU this year. In fact there weren’t any mid-majors in the Elite 8, and only 2 (Ohio and Xavier) in the …

There was a hiring move this week that frankly floored me and that I think has farther reaching implications than may appear on the surface. Implications that I discussed with FSU Fan @saintwarrick and Georgia Tech fan @younglefhander on twitter. South Carolina lured away Kansas State head basketball coach Frank Martin to coach in Columbia. …

Considering I’m writing this article summarizing the ACC’s performance in the NCAAs and the tournament is not yet over is probably not a good sign. This means for the 2nd straight year the ACC didn’t put a team into the Final 4. That is basically like forgetting to do the last page of the final …

Judging by the national media out there, North Carolina doesn’t have a chance against Kansas Sunday without a healthy Kendal Marshall. ESPN’s Doug Gottlieb says “I mean, they’ll get out of St. Louis, But they’ll be going back to Chapel Hill.” Pat Forde of Yahoo Sports wrote, “North Carolina survived (barely) and advanced (on its …

Without a healthy Kendall Marshall, North Carolina’s National Title and Final 4 hopes are finished right? I mean a team can’t possibly overcome the injury of such a valuable player, especially with possibility of playing a Kentucky or a Kansas to win a championship right? I think history provides some hope to North Carolina fans. …

I hope you were reading the blog about a week ago when I called NC State one of the most dangerous double digit seeds in the NCAA tournament, because I said it was a decent possibility they’d make the 2nd week of the NCAAs. NC State is in Sweet 16 after defeating a very good …

Duke is out of the NCAA tournament. They were out before the tournament’s first weekend even started. After Friday’s embarrassing loss to Lehigh, you have to wonder is Duke basketball slipping? This seems like a strange to question for a team went 27-7 that is only 2 years removed from National Title, but since 2004-2005 season …

The ACC has completed their 1st round of the NCAA tournament. It was certainly a mixed bag. North Carolina, NC State, and Florida State advanced. Duke and Virginia were sent home.

The ACC Tournament is over and I have to tell you the Saturday and Sunday games were vintage ACC basketball. High quality basketball, great teams, and Florida State emerged as your ACC Champion. Following that was the NCAA selection show, where NC State’s celebration at being selected was unadulterated joy. You have to love that. So what do …

First here is copy of the entire bracket for your viewing pleasure. 5 ACC teams made the Big Dance. For the first time in a while, I really can’t find issues with the ACC Teams selected or seeding. Miami I felt was an NCAA worthy team, but when you look their resume there just weren’t …
