You always hear about the ACC being a basketball only conference… Then at the same time ACC critics say the basketball is down too. Is it really that bad with two potential #1 seeds? Ok it’s not vintage ACC basketball, but it’s still among the country’s better basketball conferences. There’s statistic I came across that seems …

So I’m checking out CBS’s Sportsline bracketology this week to see what teams they had in the NCAA tournament. Now after Virginia won at Maryland this past weekend, I figured the Cavaliers were in the Big Dance and I said as much in this week’s ACC bubble analysis that I post each Monday. Now if …

And I give you this: Watching Robert Brown play basketball is like being subjected to the Hatian voodoo rattle torture. #Hokies — Chris Lang (@ChrisLangLNA) February 13, 2013 Marcus Patrick outscored Robert Brown tonight. #Hokies — Chris Lang (@ChrisLangLNA) February 13, 2013 Everyone focuses on #Hokies lack of depth, but another big issue is program’s …

A few shout outs this week – @WillsWorldMN and @ztevans were both on point in their predictions in our #ACC panel earlier this season. Both were high on Miami.

Did you see the top 10 get ripped to shreds this past week? Do you know who survived? Duke and Miami so take a look where they ended up in this week’s ACC Bubble Analysis, and there’s a new ACC team in the Big Dance. In my ranking system, any RPIw top (100) win is a good …

We just had national signing day, and some major movement basketball wise in the ACC. How do the ACC bloggers feel about the goings on? StateoftheU asks after Miami destroys North Carolina whether the Hurricanes are the number 1 team in the country? It sounds crazy, but is there team playing better right now in …

Short post for tonight… Big game Saturday between Miami and North Carolina. The Heels seemed to have positioned themselves pretty well for the NCAAs, but could certainly improve their seeding. Now here’s the thing though, Miami push for a number 1 seed is gaining steam, CBSSportsline has the Hurricanes as a number 1 seed. Here’s a …

It’s February so if your’re going to make a move towards the NCAA tournament you better start now… In my ranking system, any RPIw top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any losses outside the RPI top (100) is considered a bad loss, and outside the RPI (150) are …

When was the last time an ACC team not named Duke or North Carolina had shot at an NCAA tournament number 1 seed? I’m guessing Wake Forest in the 2004-05 year when they played the whole season ranked in the top 10 and even spent two weeks at number 1. They went into the ACC …

I’ll be honest this Super Bowl between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers isn’t really grabbing my attention. I’m originally from Georgia and lived in Atlanta for the better part of 4 1/2 years so I had some hometown loyalty to the Atlanta Falcons. New England would have been fun, because there would have …
