The Duke Blue Devils might have been the most underrated 23-4 #4 ranked team in recent memory. Listen to the college basketball analysts and they heaped deserved praise on Kentucky and Syracuse. No one argues that, but after those two you got into the next group of teams that could get to the final 4 …

I might be a little pressed for time tomorrow, so I’m going ahead and putting out my weekly Articles from around Blogosphere a day early. There’s so much going on starting with some NC State fans who are steaming mad at ACC official Karl Hess for ejecting a couple of NC State legends Saturday against …

For the first time in a couple of weeks the number of ACC teams I’ve had in the NCAA tournament has dropped from 6 to 5 teams.Ā Who dropped out? Take a look below. In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. …

Coming off a loss Tuesday night at Clemson, Virginia was looking a little shaky. Despite a 19-6 record they had fallen to 6-5 in the ACC with a dangerous Maryland team coming to Charlottesville. Frankly if the Cavs had lost Saturday that would be the NCAA bubble off in the horizon, but as he’s done …

More jockeying for position this week…. How are things shaping with selection Sunday quickly approaching? 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 the RPI (150) are even …

The ACC’s reputation as a basketball conference is historically unmatched. In the last 25 years, no conference has more national titles or Final 4. That said the conference as a whole has fallen on some lean times when it comes to basketball. Yes the ACC has won 2 of the last 3 national titles, and …

Three weeks ago the ACC looked like a three bid league, now it could be six. We are are long way from things being settled. How is it looking this week? 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 ACC’s new schedule was released Friday. I would say it was met with mixed reviews. Boston College fans seemed to be the most pleased about the new schedules, and why not with the addition of Syracuse and Pittsburgh, BC finally has true regional partners. Others though lamented the loss of traditional home and home …

Simple and to the point poll. After the Heels got humiliated at FSU, they’ve won two games in row over Virginia Tech and NC State by double digits. I have my opinion, but I’m asking the reader have the Heels turned the corner and become the team many thought they could be? Has North Carolina …
