Good afternoon, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. In December 2023, my buddy, @TalkinACCSports, argued that Louisville must terminate the employment of Kenny Payne. Jeff was right, for sure – I always thought this would be like a James Johnson sort of thing with Virginia Tech men’s basketball – where Kenny Payne gets terminated …

Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. Seems that the Virginia Tech Hokies Men’s Basketball team are your regular Jekyll and Hyde – out here crushing Virginia by over 30 points (and none of us saw this blowout coming) – but getting absolutely wrecked on the road at Pittsburgh and at Syracuse. Today, …

Two weeks ago we zeroed in on Wake Forest and Pittsburgh as at large NCAA candidates from the ACC. Last week we updated things for part 2, and the ACC’s most intriguing bubble watch continues today. UNC, Duke, and Clemson are locks to the NCAA Tournament. Virginia got the split they needed winning at Boston College, …

Let me be the first to say, I really like Leonard Hamilton. Wherever Florida State plays basketball should have a name somewhere on the building. If there is a Mount Rushmore of Florida State basketball, Leonard Hamilton should be there. He’s won 441 games at Florida State, and 202 ACC games. He coached at a …

This isn’t complicated folks. New: Big 12 and ACC coaches sound the alarm about proposed byes for only the Big Ten and SEC in a 14-team field: “[It’s] like the NFL saying the Cowboys get a bye since they have more fans than the Bengals. How preposterous is that?”https://t.co/skCRgN346g — Dave Wilson (@dwil) March 2, …

There is a story circulating about the Big 10/SEC working towards more Autobids in college football as we see below. A 14-team playoff model is being socialized that would grant 3 AQs each to Big Ten/SEC, 2 AQs each to Big 12/ACC, 1 AQ to G5 + 3 at-large, sources tell @YahooSports. The model is …

Just a quick post for tonight as Clemson basically locked up an NCAA bid. #Clemson is now 14-4 when Jack Clark plays and 9-1 when Jack Clark starts.

I was listening on the @accnetwork‘s ACC PM today to an interview from Wake Forest’s Steve Forbes. The topic of bracket projections came up, and while we’ve been screaming about lack of bid projections for the ACC, it’s rare when a coach talks as strongly as Wake Forest’s Steve Forbes did about it. Good for …

A couple of weeks ago pretty much anybody not named Boston College, Georgia Tech, Notre Dame, or Louisville had a realistic shot at making a run at an NCAA bid with a strong finish. North Carolina and Duke have been set for a while. Clemson has …
