Well it’s that time of year again where we attempt to keep track of the comings and goings of a conference that has grown beyond my ability to keep track of without some help. The ultimate goal is to keep track of which teams can expect an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament on Selection […]
ACC Teams
ACC Strength of Schedule
As soon as ACC expansion eliminated the round robin basketball schedule, it was always obvious that the strength of the conference schedule would vary from one team to the next. The open questions were always: How much would SOS vary from one year to the next? Would certain teams tend to get easier/harder schedules year […]
Last Look at the Bubble
After following the bubble closely for both Sendek and Gottfried, I mostly enjoy the bubble discussions we have around here. The only time that it is not really enjoyable is when the “20 wins” or other such nonsense rears its ugly head…and that’s not been a problem this year. (General apathy has been the biggest […]
ACC BB – One More Week
This was sort of a strange weekend for ACC basketball: No matchups between teams fighting for a two-round bye. Saturday had five games with the visiting team favored in each game. (Miami was the only upset winner.) But some things remained the same: Clemson suffers yet another close loss. Sunday had two games where bubble […]
ACC BB Update for 2/20
(Photo from N&O after the Miami game) Wouldn’t you know the week after I ridicule people that bet on college sports, I see a betting line that I would like to put a C-note on. According to the yahoo sports app, Syracuse was a two point favorite on the road against GT last night. So […]
Your “Closing Ranks” Notre Dame Open Thread
OK folks. It was leaked. It was confirmed. Change is coming, but not until after the season. Oh, and you can go ahead and plan on hearing this sort of stuff for the next several months at least (years if we whiff on the hire)…. So congrats, NC State fans. You got what you wanted. […]
ACC BB Update
(That photo never gets old) The week we’re going to focus on the teams clustered on the NCAAT Bubble. If you missed last night’s game in Blacksburg, you missed a good one. There wasn’t much else on so I watched to see if I had to rewrite everything that assumed a VT loss. Oh […]
Your “Unbreak My Heart” Wake Forest Open Thread
The Pack (14-11, 3-9 ACC) travels to Winston-Salem today to take on Wake Forest (14-10, 5-7 ACC). Since the last time we lost to Wake 3 weeks ago we’ve managed to go 1-4, beating a then reeling Duke team; then falling the last four times out in succession. It’s been a difficult few weeks to […]
Your “We Done Did It Again” FSU Open Thread
The University of Miami is a good basketball team. The University of Miami is a good basketball team. The University of Miami is a good basketball team. The University of Miami is a good basketball team. The University of Miami is a good basketball team. The University of Miami is a good basketba……. Seriously […]
ACC BB Update – One Month Left
A month from tomorrow, the ACC Tournament will tip off in Brooklyn. I’m curious how good/bad the attendance will be. But with 15 teams, it shouldn’t be hard to fill the 17,700 seat Barclay Center. I suspect that reasoning along with the desire to spread the ACC’s influence all the way up the East Coast […]
