Yes, @DanWetzel, Almost Everyone Would Take the Deal #UVA #Hokies #ACC

Clemson’s value recently increased. It may have triggered suit against ACC.
Well we knew it was coming. Another school is sueing to try and get out of the ACC. This time it was Clemson. As many expected to happen, Clemson joins Florida State in filing a lawsuit against the ACC in a likely initial step to exiting the conference. We wrote briefly about it two weeks …

NC State completes magical, incredible, improbable run to the ACC Title.
Whatever adjective you can think of may not do justice to what NC State just accomplished in the ACC Tournament. 5 wins in 5 Days, and beat the top 3 finishers in the ACC standings – UNC, Duke, and Virginia to do it. NC STATE HAS DONE IT 🏆@PackMensBball is the first double-digit seed to …

A Twitter Thread: Thoughts on Virginia Tech Men’s Basketball #Hokies
Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. Just a quick thread with some thoughts on Virginia Tech men’s basketball: 2/ Mike Young needs to get more #Hokies players who can create their own shots. There’s one player (Sean Pedulla) on the roster who can do that right now – which is why it’s …

Put Pittsburgh and TCU in Dayton
It’s such a good idea, I wish I had thought of it first. For some reason that escapes me, TCU keeps showing up in bracket projections while Pittsburgh looks significantly less secure. As I wrote below Pitt has several metrics working in their favor, yet the narrative continues. How can TCU be in and Pittsburgh …

Pittsburgh is an NCAA team… period, after beating Wake Forest.
Two NCAA Caliber teams entered, and one left with their NCAA chances intact. Pittsburgh beat Wake Forest Thursday 81-69. Wake Forest fell to 20-13 (11-9) NET 38 with the loss. They lost 4 of their last 6 games, and are just 1-8 against the Q1. Wake Forest is good enough to win a couple of …

SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey wants to wreck the best post-season in sports.
It’s the purest form of sport. Everybody has a shot if they play their way in. No judges, no bias, and your media contract and stadium size don’t matter. If you win your conference tournament you can play for a national title. The NCAA basketball tournaments are as fair and equitable as post-season that exist …

What do Wake Forest and Pittsburgh ‘realistically’ need to do to get to NCAAs. (Part 6)
It’s part 6 in our ongoing series of the ACC’s two biggest bubble teams. Who is going to make Wake Forest or Pitt? Do both make it, neither? Is anyone else close? Syracuse and Virginia Tech needed deep runs in the ACC Tournament to even approach the bubble. Neither came close bowing out after their …

Should Georgia Tech fans be optimistic about basketball future?
Georgia Tech was the first team eliminated in this year’s ACC Tournament in an 84-80 loss to Notre Dame. The game had the Jackets finish the season 14-18 (7-13) and they lost their final 2 games in Damon Stoudamire’s first coaching year in Atlanta. If you go back to the last 15 years, this was …

North Carolina gets opening they need for a #1 Seed in NCAA tournament.
We’ve focused on the bubble in recent weeks, but there’s movement at the other end of the bracket especially for North Carolina. The first three #1 seeds are pretty well set. Purdue, Houston, and UConn are locked in as #1 seeds. That left Tennessee, Arizona, and North Carolina fighting it out for that 4th #1 …
