The ACC stands tallest early at the NCAA tournament while the rest of the power 5 flops.
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 …

Let the 16 seed beating a 1 seed storyline go until it happens.
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 …

How far will each ACC team go in the 2016 NCAA tournament?
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 …

What is Georgia Tech going to do with Brian Gregory after strong finish?
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 …

Then North Carolina and Virginia got their turns in the ACC tournament and just flattened two quality teams in likely NCAA team Pittsburgh, and likely NIT team Georgia Tech by an average of 18.5 points. North Carolina beat Pittsburgh 88-71, and …
