Yes, I know where the space bar and shift key are on the keyboard. I just wanted to highlight a website that has escaped my notice until today: packathletics.exposure.co. Here are a few highlights of the articles that I found in just a few minutes of looking around: Top 25 vision (April 9, 2015) […]
OOC Strength of Schedule
Note – The great pic from the WRAL or N&O doesn’t really tie into the article. I just like it. I really appreciate the Wolfpack extending the basketball season so that the latest OOC SOS summary will appear before we move into baseball and the long drought until football comes back on Labor Day […]
Bubble Review
Normally, one of my favorite entries to prepare is the post-mortem on Selection Sunday. I get to make fun of the idiots behind the desks and poke holes in their weak attempts at championing some miserable “left-behind”. It’s also fun to look over the resumes and work out which items must have been most important […]
Variations in ACC BB Schedules
As we all know, the ginormous conferences have led to a situation where teams are technically in the same conference, but hardly ever play each other. This is worse in football, where you only play teams in the other division about twice per decade (except for your designated rival). In football, the difficulty of your […]
Last Look at the Bubble
The goal of our last look at the Bubble is to outline the goals that the different teams should have for the ACCT…whether that goal is just making the NCAAT or to improve the seeding. I don’t expect there to be a lot of controversy, but there are still some interesting tidbits to discuss for […]
One More Week
Well that was a pretty miserable weekend of basketball. The only close game was Sunday’s Pitt/WF game with the Panthers falling to the Winston-Salem Curse as well. I wonder if there is some shaman we could pay to transfer that curse to them permanently? Here is the conference summary table with the RPI rankings coming […]
ACC Recap and Analysis
There was a full slate of games on Saturday, with four blowouts (three of which were in the Triangle) and two nail biters. With both nail biters working out to State’s advantage along with a fairly easy win against VT, I think that this weekend was about as good as could be expected. With the […]
ACC Bubble Update
In case you’re wondering, my Minion pic has nothing to do with anyone here at SFN. The fact that a 15 min drive home after lunch took almost an hour should explain it. Oh and I forgot to mention…there was less than ½ inch of snow on the ground at that time. So for everyone […]
ACC Weekly Review
I think we need to start an on-line petition to turn Monday back into “Big Monday” and move the mid-week ACC games back to the Tue through Thurs spot. All of these Monday games play heck with the timeliness of my weekly reviews. Once again the RPI and Dance Card info covers through Sunday’s games […]
ACC Mid-Season Review
Originally published on Tuesday of this week: This past weekend had six games on Sat, one on Sun, and then another one on Monday night…Two overtime games, multiple close games, and only two with the final differential greater than six points. Throw in the fact that State won one of the OT games and UNC […]
