Thanks to the resurgent Orange (and to Wake for beating Duke earlier in the week), NC State is now poised to earn the ACCT 7 seed with a win today. That would leave us likely playing #10 Miami on Thursday, followed by the aforementioned Orange on Friday. Unfortunately, unless #6 Clemson or #11/14 Wake/BC show […]
ACC
One Week Left
We have one week (and a couple of days) until the end of the regular season. I would have waited until Monday for the last regular-season update, but I didn’t want to put this up on the same day as jigawatt’s game preview. After last night, I don’t have much energy for lengthy intros. So […]
Why do we bother caring?
After all of the calls for ‘illegal breathing’against anyone in red & whate that dared played defense near James Michael McAdoo tonight…the video below shows…of course, no foul on McAdoo and out of bounds off State. Without the bad call, there is probably no way that Carolina wins with State up two with 35 seconds […]
Sunday’s salt in the wound – NC State, Phil Ford article in N&O
I know that the timing of News & Observer’s string of articles around the 40th anniversary of NC State’s 1974 National Championship Basketball this morning was pre-determined…nonetheless, this one focusing on the shift of power really stung. Despite the torture it created for me this morning it is worth reading; particularly for our younger audience. […]
Maryland had the right idea
Lol at anyone who criticizes Maryland for leaving the ACC. They saw the light. — NCSUMach (@NCSUMach) February 16, 2014 Here's the smile… @WXMoose pic.twitter.com/7Q7OUxAYzb — Scott Clark (@Clarksa) February 16, 2014 It certainly hasn’t taken Syracuse long to become darlings of the ACC and John Clougherty’s officials. The strangest thing is that they haven’t […]
ACC/SEC Considering 8+1 Scheduling
SFN recently asked Debbie Yow about the current non-conference scheduling policy (click here for a refresher). She commented that the ACC is discussing “alternate scheduling models,” which could have been a reference to the once-planned nine-game league schedule that was scrapped once Notre Dame became a partial member (more info about this recently in the […]
One Month In…
This update might get lost in the post-game threads, but let’s look at where the ACC stands after the first month of the conference schedule. We’ll start with the top 1/3 of the conference and the teams that are playing for seeding in the NCAAT tournament. Nothing earth-shattering going on here, but FSU is beginning […]
AJC: ACC Considering 9-game Schedule (again)
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: …At the board of trustees meeting for the Georgia Tech Athletic Association last Thursday, athletic director Mike Bobinski shared an update about scheduling discussions among officials at the ACC member schools and brought up ESPN’s possible influence. At the conference’s meetings this week, the conference and ESPN are expected to have an […]
Mess in the Middle
In the latest update on the ACC, we’ll highlight what’s going on in the middle of the conference…otherwise known as the “mess in the middle”. Depending on the author, a picture is not always worth a 1000 words…but we’ll use one for the summary of both the middle of the ACC and where they are […]
UMd Files Suit vs ACC (again)
Future B1G member and perennial pain in the ‘ACC’ just can’t seem to go away quietly. Big shock there. Monday, the Terps filed suit for $157Mil, this time in Guilford County, NC…. The suit, filed by the state attorney general’s office on behalf of the University of Maryland in a North Carolina court, alleges that […]
