With the ACC sending a record 6 teams to the Sweet 16, it’s been a great week of basketball for the conference. The ACC offices in Greensboro must be sharing high fives across the office, and I”m pretty sure John Swofford made a fist pump after each ACC win. North Carolina, Virginia, Miami, Duke, Syracuse, …

Syracuse and Notre Dame play for that same opportunity today. If all six make it, the ACC conference as a whole will have more institutions in …

Going to back to last season the ACC is a sterling 23-6 in the NCAA Basketball tournament. The conference was 17-5 last season and a solid 6-1 to start this year. Actually let’s change that from solid to astounding considering the carnage that took place against the rest of the power 5. The Pac 12 …

Quick post for tonight… I have a pet-peeve about the coverage for the NCAA Tournament. It’s getting kind of old to hear over and over again if this is the year a 16 beats a 1. So far number 1 seeds Virginia and Kansas knocked off Hampton and Austin Peay by an average of more …

Miami #3 Seed – South Region Miami shouldn’t have any problem with Buffalo in round 1, but Arizona or Wichita State could be a real issue in round 2. If the Canes survive round 2, then I like the matchup with Villanova. I don’t trust team’s that rely on the 3 like the Wildcats, and …

I’ll be the first to admit, I thought Brian Gregory was toast in the middle of February. Sitting at 13-12 (3-9), the Gregory watch was on. I was looking at possible coaching candidates at Georgia Tech. Gregory runs a clean program, and by most accounts is good guy. I just thought he was overwhelmed at this …
