In one of most absurd tone statement statements a conference commissioner has ever made SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey earlier in the week said – “We are giving away highly competitive opportunities for automatic qualifiers (from small conferences), and I think that pressure is going to rise as we have more competitive basketball leagues at the …

Following an ugly ACCT loss to Boston College, the critics of Clemson basketball and Brad Brownell came out of the woodwork. Was it justified? Maybe Maybe not. This was a team that looked like one of the country’s 15 best in November and December. They played unevenly going 11-9 in conference, and were a trainwreck …

NC State is no longer just a nice story of the team that got hot for 5 days and won a conference title. After swatting away Texas Tech 80-67, the Wolfpack need to be taken very seriously as a team that can make a real run in the NCAA tournament. NC State’s always had talent. …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
