ACC Tournament 2013 LiveBlog (Quarterfinal Edition – Evening Session)

Alrighty Pack fans, time to cheer against the blues tonight, not so much for anyone but definitely against.

Friday’s Schedule:
No. 8 Boston College vs. No. 1 Miami, noon (Miami -7.5 vs. BC)
No. 5 N.C. State vs. No. 4 Virginia, 2:30 p.m. (NC State -1 vs. Virginia)
No. 7 Maryland vs. No. 2 Duke, 7 p.m. (Duke -13 vs Maryland)
No. 6 Florida State vs. No. 3 North Carolina, 9:30 p.m. (UNC -8 vs. FSU)

Game 3: Twerps/Duke

Refs: Brian Dorsey, Les Jones, Roger Ayers

15:49 – 12-2 Twerps

11:47 – 17-10 Twerps

07:53 – 24-14 Twerps

03:01 – 28-21 Twerps

HALFTIME: 34-26 Twerps

Duke’s just getting beat at their own game, MD is hot from 3.

2nd Half

15:56 – 41-37 Twerps

11:51 – 50-46 Twerps

07:40 – 59-52 Twerps

03:26 – 69-62 Twerps

FINAL 83-74 Twerps

This one was pretty simple, Maryland guarded the 3 and prevented Duke from winning from behind the arc. That and Maryland hit their Free Throws and made their 3’s.

Game 4: FSU/UNC

Refs: King Karl, Maxwell, Styons

1st Half:

15:40 – 9-8 UNC

11:10 – 19-14 UNC

07:38 – 21-20 UNC

03:11 – 25-23 UNC

HALFTIME: 35-27 UNC

A tight game until the final 3 minutes when UNC made a mini-run. If FSU can cut down on the turnovers and defend the 3 better I think they can win.

2nd Half

14:58 – 49-35 UNC

11:55 – 57-43 UNC

07:57 – 67-50 UNC

04:13 – 74-57 UNC

FINAL: 83-62 UNC

Nothing to say about this one, the stats and eyeballs say it all. Everyone get some sleep and wake up by the crack of noon to get ready.

    Duke will be a 1 seed. Duh. We all know the only reason they lost was because they were intentionally resting for the NCAAs. That should be rewarded.

    Derp.

    ^Hogewood practically said as much.

  3. packpowerfan 03/15/2013 at 9:22 PM #

    Hogewood is a giant pile of herp topped off with a sprinkling of derp.

    Now that Gtown lost, pretty sure the last 1 is between KS and L’ville. Zags now the overall 1, methinks.

  5. Wufpacker 03/15/2013 at 9:23 PM #

    At least if UMd and us both make it to Sunday, they should be more tired than us.

  6. vtpackfan 03/15/2013 at 9:23 PM #

    Cuse survive and advance. I’m pretty excited to see our UCLA offense vs Boeheims match up zone.

  7. Wulfpack 03/15/2013 at 9:25 PM #

    Zags are the overall 1. No reason why they shouldn’t be.

    With Cuse winning, it will be an all ACC Big East final. Hahaha.

  8. FergusWolf 03/15/2013 at 9:26 PM #

    us vs. md in the final would certainly end the “no one has one 4 in 4” conversation.

  9. BJD95 03/15/2013 at 9:26 PM #

    KY sucks. The NIT awaits. I would rather see Middle TN make it.

  10. MrPlywood 03/15/2013 at 9:26 PM #

    I don’t care who is tired or who State draws whenever. I think they can beat any team in the ACC. Next up is Miami – I hope the boys are focused. They should be since they owe the Canes something.

  11. redcanine 03/15/2013 at 9:27 PM #

    Hoggwood said what? I’m on the deuce. Not taking a deuce, but watching Duke look like a deuce on the deuce.

  12. BJD95 03/15/2013 at 9:28 PM #

    NM/San Diego State a good “bracket scouting” game. On CBS college now.

    I hope Duke does get the #1 so that South Dakota State or Western Kentucky can make them the first 1 to lose vs 16. That will make ”em forget about the Lehigh game.

  15. Wulfpack 03/15/2013 at 9:30 PM #

    Maryland plays 8 or 9 guys so they would likely be fresher. But I would take that bet in a heartbeat, for the Pack of course. I still think this shapes up nicely for the Heels, which I am not happy about. I was looking forward to Duke laying the smackdown on them for the third time this year. Hopefully it will be us that will lay it down for the second time, but they will be ready. Would make for a very lively championship. Gotta get by Miami. They are going to be a tough out.

  16. MrPlywood 03/15/2013 at 9:32 PM #

    Hogewood was ruminating that this loss could be a good thing for Dook since they’d have time to rest, and that with the Big10 beating each other up they might need it. Ridiculous.

  17. vtpackfan 03/15/2013 at 9:32 PM #

    Is it safe to assume that Yow and Woodson cut a deal with Swoff and Clougherty that Hess would never call a State game again?

  18. Pack78 03/15/2013 at 9:37 PM #

    Never thought Merryland would hold on-not only did, but dominated-no blues in the semis too much to hope for ?

  19. Wulfpack 03/15/2013 at 9:37 PM #

    I was thinking about the ACC coaching carousel today, and how this may well be a year when there are no changes. Probably too early to make any kind of change at Va Tech, GT or BC. In fact, I would be encouraged as a BC an with such solid young talent. Donahue received a vote of confidence from the BC AD. Clemson may think about removing Brownell, but I doubt it. We all agree Wake should fire Bzzzzz, but he is butt buddies with Wellman. Perhaps Wellman gets canned over this? I want to see a change there. Bzzzz is such a terrible coach, and has zero personality. The only other change I could foresee would be Bennett at UVA, but that would be a major stretch.

  20. vtpackfan 03/15/2013 at 9:40 PM #

    I believe that this Noles team can pull this one out if they can keep it close around the 8 minute mark of first half. They have some young freshman who are starting to get the hang of Hamilton’s Aussie Rules Basketball.

    Strickland draws Snaer and will probably get embarrassed tonight. He is all talk-no game. Must be from all the silly courses he had to take that required one graded assignment; an Oral presentation: What I did over the Summer.

  21. wufpup76 03/15/2013 at 9:41 PM #

    The ‘Go Fish In Ontario’ guy is back … Ok. Ok.

  22. vtpackfan 03/15/2013 at 9:43 PM #

    The weirdest thing about the buddy system at Wake is shouldn’t Wellman be able to say “hey buddy, you don’t want to take me down do you?”

  23. Wulfpack 03/15/2013 at 9:47 PM #

    If he has to say that, he is already going down. It is his job to make the tough calls, not the coach’s. Many Wake fans want to see Wellman hit the road.

    I actually think Grobe may want to transition into the AD role, if it came available. He would most certainly be a popular choice.

  24. pakfanistan 03/15/2013 at 9:48 PM #

    I wonder who Snaer’s travel agent is…

  25. vtpackfan 03/15/2013 at 10:00 PM #

    What a flop. He didn’t even sell it good and still got the call.
