We’ve seen some surprises (both good and bad) and a lot of movement since our last look around the ACC. We’ve also found the bubble once again…though I’m sure the Twerps aren’t real happy about that. So, let’s start with the conference as a whole and look at the big movers since our last look […]

Denial Runs Deep at NC State
I didn’t expect to get even madder when I read the sports page this morning. But then I read these quotes from Ben McCauley: “It may seem like it but we’re still trying to [win],” junior forward Ben McCauley said. “We’re definitely trying to. “I don’t think we’ve forgotten how to win [but] I think […]

Does the Quest for Last Continue Today? (Answer = Yes)
The Pack heads to Hooville for a 4:30 game on FSN (for those with digital cable, the game is in HD on “Mojo”), in what easily could decide who gets seeds 11 and 12 in the ACCT. Virginia has beaten no ACC foe other than a very similar BC squad (star PG, very little else) […]

Bad Trendlines Heading Into Tonight (Updated – 5:00)
1) Boston College lost 6 consecutive games leading into last week’s game with NC State, then beat the Pack at home by 17. In its next game, BC lost to last-place Virginia. At home. 2) Clemson came into Raleigh with only one ACC road win (at last place Virginia, which has beaten no ACC foe […]
Wake Enters NCAA Tournament Discussion; State Mired in Point Guard Mess of Our Making
We set the stage in this entry last week that unless someone started claiming some scalps that the ACC would only have four participants in this year’s NCAA Tournament. Wake Forest’s big win yesterday over the Duke Blue Devils is exactly the kind of statement and scalp that the Demon Deacons needed to propel themselves […]
