The constant question is how did things get this bad?</p> <p>The answer isn’t so complicated. No conference could withstand the losses of so many Hall of Fame coaches in such a short period of time. Coaches like Roy Williams, Coach K, Jim Boeheim, Rick Pitino, and Tony Bennett all won national titles. Jim Larranaga and Leonard Hamilton will be in the Hall of Fame too. It’s not just money either – UConn won the last two national titles, and the Big 12 has remained a top basketball conference even if they have been passed by SEC.</p> <p>We haven’t even got to March yet, where the ACC has been the best-performing conference over the last several years, but what is the overall depth of the league? Will it be better in the future? I think yes and so better get the ACC now.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">The ACC is tied with the Big 12 with 8 Five Star players for 2025. Duke has the <a href="https://247sports.com/season/2025-basketball/compositeteamrankings/">number 1 class in the country coming in. </a> SMU is number 3. Notre Dame is number 4. UNC is number 9, and Syracuse 10. That is half the top 10 in recruiting coming from the ACC.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Looking further Georgia Tech is 22. That gives the ACC 6 top 25 classes. That’s tops in the country. Now how you do in the transfer portal will be key, and we’re just getting going for 2025, but the recruiting classes look good.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">What about replacing all those coaches?</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Pat Kelsey of Louisville looks like a home run hire, as he inherited a trainwreck left behind by Kenny Payne and could be your national coach of the year, at the very least the ACC COY for having Louisville 20-6 (13-2) and headed to the NCAA tournament.</p> <p>SMU hasn’t been to the NCAA tournament since 2017, and first-year coach Andy Enifield has them right on the bubble at 19-6 (10-4).</p> <p>With Stanford, it’s been even longer, no NCAA appearance since 2014, and not even more than 16 wins since 2020. First-year coach Kyle Smith is having a solid 16-10 (8-7) season. That was for a team that was pre-season picked at or near the bottom of the ACC.</p> <p>Clemson isn’t replacing anyone, but the patience to stay with Brad Brownell has resulted in Clemson’s best back-to-back seasons of basketball since at least the late 90s.</p> <p>We also know North Carolina could turn things around quickly. UNC was ranked in the top 5 and a number 1 NCAA seed as recently as last year.</p> <p>While it has been a rough ACC basketball season, don’t write off the future of ACC basketball just yet.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>Make sure you follow the All Sports Discussion Twitter account at <a href="https://twitter.com/allsportsdacc">@AllSportsDACC</a> and please like our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/All-Sports-Discussion/184935911533629?fref=ts">Facebook Page.</a></strong></em></p> <br> <center> <script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- Bottom_Post --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:468px;height:60px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1227879969298088" data-ad-slot="1445137322"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> <br> <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- Horizontal_6 --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:468px;height:60px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1227879969298088" data-ad-slot="4619304738"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </center>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://allsportsdiscussion.com/2025/02/18/why-you-better-get-acc-basketball-now/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">40833</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Podcast – @AllSportsDACC and @TalkinACCSports talk about ACC basketball for 2/16/25</title> <link>https://allsportsdiscussion.com/2025/02/17/podcast-allsportsdacc-and-talkinaccsports-talk-about-acc-basketball-for-2-16-25/</link> <comments>https://allsportsdiscussion.com/2025/02/17/podcast-allsportsdacc-and-talkinaccsports-talk-about-acc-basketball-for-2-16-25/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Jfann]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 18 Feb 2025 01:58:04 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[ACC]]></category> <category><![CDATA[College Basketball]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://allsportsdiscussion.com/?p=40830</guid> <description><![CDATA[  @AllSportsDACC and I (@TalkinACCSports ) dive into ACC basketball in this podcast.

Miami (6-19, 2-12) NET – 212, RPI – 268</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 18</em></p> <p>For the first time in months, I considered moving Miami off the bottom of this power poll ahead of Boston College. They go to FSU and host Virginia Tech. They are showing some signs of life.</p> <h3>17. Boston College (10-15, 2-12) NET – 225, RPI – 255</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 17</em></p> <p>Boston College is reeling as their losing streak has reached 4 games. They are at home for Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech.</p> <h3>16. NC State (10-15, 3-11) NET – 124, RPI – 236</h3> <p><em>Last week: 16</em></p> <p>NC State won their first game since January 8 beating Boston College. That keeps them from the bottom 2 where they were headed. They are on the road at UNC then back home for Wake Forest.</p> <h3>15. California (12-14, 5-10) NET – 125, RPI – 184</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 13</em></p> <p>Cal has lost 5 of their last 6 games. The OT loss to Georgia Tech was especially tough after leading by 5. They head to Stanford this week.</p> <p><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.4em;">14. Syracuse (11-15, 5-8) NET – 149, RPI – 165</span></p> <p><em>Last Week: 12</em></p> <p>Syracuse losing to Miami is completely unacceptable. They go to Pitt and it could be their third loss in a row.</p> <h3>13. Notre Dame (11-14, 5-8) NET – 98, RPI – 196</h3> <p><em>Last Week : 15</em></p> <p>Notre Dame hosts SMU, and Pittsburgh. They could wreck NCAA seedings and resumes this week.</p> <h3>12. Florida State (15-10, 6-8) NET – 88, RPI – 111</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 14</em></p> <p>FSU’s win at Wake Forest was stunning, but they were brought back to earth getting hammered by Clemson. The host Miami then go to Louisville this week.</p> <h3>11. Virginia Tech (11-14, 6-8) NET – 156, RPI – 186</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 9</em></p> <p>The Hokies took a tough loss at home to Virginia and now have lost 2 of 3. They go on the road to Boston College and Miami this week.</p> <h3>10. Virginia (13-12, 6-8) NET – 104, RPI – 114</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 11</em></p> <p>Virginia is playing their best basketball of the year. They have won 3 games in a row and can play spoiler now. They host Duke and head to UNC.</p> <h3>9. Stanford (16-10, 8-7) NET – 84, RPI – 70</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 7</em></p> <p>Stanford has lost 4 of their last 5 games, and is off the at-large NCAA radar. If they win out, it’s their only chance to get in the discussion. Cal is this week.</p> <h3>8. Georgia Tech (13-13, 7-8) NET – 121, RPI – 192</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 10</em></p> <p>Georgia Tech continues to play solid basketball even with a depleted roster. They swept Stanford and Cal this week. Next week is a game at BC, that could even their ACC record. Nait Geeorge is the most underrated PG in the league.</p> <h3>7. Pittsburgh (15-10, 6-8) NET – 51, RPI – 58</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 8</em></p> <p>Pittsburgh finally broke their 4 game losing streak beating Miami. Now they need to go on a winning streak. Syracuse and Notre Dame are must-wins.</p> <h3>6. UNC (15-11, 8-6) NET – 47, RPI – 30</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 6</em></p> <p>UNC got blown at Clemson but won at Syracuse. If they are going to make a NCAA move it starts now. They have to sweep NC State and Virginia at home.</p> <p><strong>—————————————————— NCAA Cutline —————————————————-</strong></p> <h3>5. SMU (19-6, 10-4) NET – 41, RPI – 53</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 4</em></p> <p>SMU had a couple of injuries in losing a critical game to Wake Forest, but the week ahead could make or break their NCAA chances. They go to Notre Dame and then host Clemson. If they could get both, they’d be on the right side of the bubble.</p> <h3>4. Wake Forest (19-7, 11-4) NET – 60, RPI- 42</h3> <p><em>Last week: 5</em></p> <p>It was a wild week for Wake Forest. They blew a double digit lead at home to FSU under 10 minutes left, but then pick up a Q1 win at SMU. They can not afford to drop one at NC State on Saturday.</p> <h3>3. Louisville (20-6, 13-2) NET – 29, RPI – 21</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 3</em></p> <p>Louisville cruised at Notre Dame on Sunday, and now they host FSU. The Cards are playing for NCAA seeding so they have to keep the momentum going.</p> <h3>2. Clemson (21-5, 13-2) NET – 26, RPI – 20</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 2</em></p> <p>Clemson played like a top 10 team this week destroying UNC and FSU.

Well, that’s only partially true given recent events.</p> <p>It’s been over a year since Florida State started litigation against the ACC, and nearly a year since Clemson followed. Legally speaking it seems we are barely out of the starting gate. We haven’t even got into the merits of the grant of rights – just a bunch of legal positioning. That’s what my untrained eye sees on the situation that you can agree or disagree with.</p> <p>We’ve also seen ESPN extend the option to their media deal through 2036 adding another layer to any lawsuits. We’ve also seen discussion of potential brand revenue sharing, potentially more brand games with Notre Dame, and a possible end to the Clemson and FSU lawsuits.</p> <p>That’s where we will begin – the brand revenue-sharing proposal. In whatever implementation this ends up with, it would result in brands like Clemson, FSU, maybe UNC and Miami getting increased revenue vs others members of the ACC. With the result of the lawsuit in question, and the uncertain desire of the SEC or Big 10 to expand in the near future FSU and Clemson might be in the ACC for a while.</p> <p>That said they likely won’t be dropping the lawsuits unless a favorable brand sharing agreement comes their way. Sure they will vote for it. Schools like Wake Forest, Boston College, SMU and Duke won’t have a P2 home under any realistic scenario. Getting somewhat reduced revenues to stay at the P4 level – yeah they’ll probably vote for it too.</p> <p>That leaves the ACC’s middle tier. The schools in the ultimate limbo. They could end up in the P2, or a distant Big 12, a diminished ACC, or they could end up the next Oregon State and Washington State.</p> <p>Schools like Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, NC State, Louisville, Virginia, and Pittsburgh will be the deciding vote one whether this brand initiative goes through.</p> <p>Will Jim Phillips come up with a revenue distribution scenario that’s worth it for the middle-tier ACC brands for the conference to get to the early 2030s in-tact?</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Make sure you follow the All Sports Discussion Twitter account at <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fallsportsdacc&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNH80neHSsrNqatIx7rdXWPR9U0_VA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://www.google.com/url?q%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Ftwitter.com%252Fallsportsdacc%26sa%3DD%26sntz%3D1%26usg%3DAFQjCNH80neHSsrNqatIx7rdXWPR9U0_VA&source=gmail&ust=1486166502870000&usg=AFQjCNGgOzqUxiig-tlkIjyFOnLEhGtpRQ">@AllSportsDACC</a> and please like our <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2FAll-Sports-Discussion%2F184935911533629%3Ffref%3Dts&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEWEAihdwfmDazuSSnX5l4sK20orQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://www.google.com/url?q%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.facebook.com%252Fpages%252FAll-Sports-Discussion%252F184935911533629%253Ffref%253Dts%26sa%3DD%26sntz%3D1%26usg%3DAFQjCNEWEAihdwfmDazuSSnX5l4sK20orQ&source=gmail&ust=1486166502870000&usg=AFQjCNGr19chQ7IW8VRHn1DFxQH94mz21A">Facebook Page</a></strong></p> <p> </p> <br> <center> <script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- Bottom_Post --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:468px;height:60px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1227879969298088" data-ad-slot="1445137322"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> <br> <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- Horizontal_6 --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:468px;height:60px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1227879969298088" data-ad-slot="4619304738"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </center>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://allsportsdiscussion.com/2025/02/12/the-acc-middle-tier-brands-could-hold-conferences-future-in-their-hands/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">40802</post-id> </item> <item> <title>SMU inches closer to NCAAs</title> <link>https://allsportsdiscussion.com/2025/02/11/smu-inches-closer-to-ncaas/</link> <comments>https://allsportsdiscussion.com/2025/02/11/smu-inches-closer-to-ncaas/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Jfann]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 12 Feb 2025 04:27:26 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[ACC]]></category> <category><![CDATA[College Basketball]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://allsportsdiscussion.com/?p=40798</guid> <description><![CDATA[A quick post for tonight as SMU gets to 19-5 beating fading Pitt..

Miami (5-18, 1-11) NET – 225, RPI – 268</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 18</em></p> <p>Miami isn’t quite the trainwreck they were earlier this year, but yeah they are still awful. The host Syracuse and go to Pittsburgh in the week upcoming.</p> <h3>17. Boston College (10-13, 2-10) NET – 221, RPI – 235</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 17</em></p> <p>Boston College has won one game since January 1. Can they get their third ACC win over Notre Dame at home or NC State on the road this week?</p> <h3>16. NC State (9-14, 2-10) NET – 120, RPI – 217</h3> <p><em>Last week: 15</em></p> <p>NC State last won a game on January 8. All their losses have been by 10 points or less. They are going to break through sooner or later. Louisville and Boston College are this week at home.</p> <h3>15. Notre Dame (10-13, 4-8) NET – 97, RPI – 214</h3> <p><em>Last Week : 14</em></p> <p>Notre Dame has lost 3 single-digit games in a row. This week is a trip to Boston College before hosting Louisville.</p> <h3>14. Florida State (14-9, 5-7) NET – 87, RPI – 120</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 13</em></p> <p>FSU is relegated to the role of spoiler now. They go to Wake Forest and then host Clemson.</p> <h3>13. California (12-12, 5-8) NET – 128, RPI – 136</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 12</em></p> <p>Cal is going to face one angry set of Duke Blue Devils this week. Then they head to Georgia Tech who can be feisty if they can get healthy.</p> <h3>12. Syracuse (11-13, 5-8) NET – 146, RPI – 150</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 11</em></p> <p>Syracuse is 1-12 against the Q1 and Q2. They head to Miami and play at UNC this week.</p> <h3>11. Virginia (12-12, 5-8) NET – 105, RPI – 121</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 16</em></p> <p>Virginia makes a big move up, after trouncing Pitt at Pitt as part of winning 3 of their last 4 games. The Hoos head to Virginia Tech on Saturday.</p> <h3>10. Georgia Tech (11-13, 5-7) NET – 127, RPI – 209</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 10</em></p> <p>Georgia Tech followed up its win over Louisville, with a stirring 3 OT win at Clemson. Barely able to field a team, they lost at Virginia. They get Stanford and Cal this week at home.</p> <h3>9. Virginia Tech (11-13, 6-7) NET – 152, RPI – 175</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 9</em></p> <p>Quietly Virginia Tech has won 3 of their last 4 games. They host Virginia this week and they attempt to get to .500 in league.</p> <h3>8. Pittsburgh (14-9, 5-7) NET – 47, RPI – 51</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 5</em></p> <p>Pittsburgh has managed to put together one of the worst ACC collapses we’ve seen in recent memory. If they don’t sweep SMU and Miami, they are totally finished.</p> <h3>7. Stanford (16-8, 8-5) NET – 78, RPI – 68</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 7</em></p> <p>Stanford is having a better-than-expected season, but time is running out on an at-large bid. They go to Georgia Tech and Duke this week.</p> <h3>6. UNC (14-10, 7-5) NET – 45, RPI – 31</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 8</em></p> <p>UNC escaped with a 1 point win over Pitt to keep alive their NCAA hopes. If they could win at Clemson and at Syracuse, that could really get them back in the NCAA discussion.</p> <p><strong>—————————————————— NCAA Cutline —————————————————-</strong></p> <h3>5. Wake Forest (18-6, 10-3) NET – 60, RPI- 38</h3> <p><em>Last week: 6</em></p> <p>The West Coast swing has been tough on teams, but Wake Forest took care of business. It has them in NCAA position. If they could sweep FSU and game at SMU that would be massive. They need a split at the very least.</p> <h3>4. SMU (18-5, 9-3) NET – 39, RPI – 54</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 4</em></p> <p>SMU has four games in a row to move to the right side of the bubble. This week they get Pitt and Wake Forest at home and if they win both, you have to love their chances to make the NCAA Tournament.</p> <h3>3. Louisville (18-6, 11-2) NET – 28, RPI – 22</h3> <p><em>Last Week: 2</em></p> <p>Louisville seems to have righted the ship since their loss to Georgia Tech. Games at NC State and Notre Dame this week shouldn’t be overlooked.</p> <h3>2.
