More Brackets
I hate brackets! I hate discussions about brackets that start in Dec/Jan. I hate the endless droning about seeding. I hate discussions about filling out brackets. I hate listening to talking heads discuss their brackets instead of the NCAAT games that are being played. I HATE BRACKETS. I won’t bore you by either defending or […]
No ESPN2? No State-Duke
There is are some ACC Tournament games on the horizon; and State-Duke is one of the marquee match-ups. N.C. State will be at full strength but it hasn’t been very good since the first 20 minutes of the Carolina game on Feb. 21 (Oh, come on, you’re not seriously going to bring up the Wake […]
What’s Left to Do?
So who needs what and why from the ACCT? Virginia I am very interested in seeing where UVa is seeded in the NCAAT this year. They have the weakest OOC schedule (and thus the lowest RPI ranking) among teams in the top-half of the ACC. They also played one of the easiest conference schedules. Finally, […]
ACC Awards – SFN’s Take
An exciting, highly competitive 2006-07 ACC regular season is over. We wanted to get our thoughts on record prior to seeing the “official” media results. The following are my personal votes, and do not reflect the consensus view of SFN. I do have some data from other SFN bloggers, which I will also present. Coach […]
The Real ACC SOS – State’s The Toughest
Since the ACC plays an unbalanced conference schedule, it should be obvious that some teams will play a harder conference schedule than others. Last year, we developed an analysis technique to which Atlantic Coast Conference squads played the toughest and the easiest conference schedules. This year, both Coach K and the N&O have already chimed […]
SFN: Hansbrough vs Henderson
This topic was stealing center stage…so, we wanted to extricate it from the State-Duke entry that should be focused on…well…State and Duke! With 14 seconds to go in today’s Duke/Carolina game – and with the game firmly in the hands of the Tarheels who had a 12 point lead – Duke’s Gerald Henderson connected with […]

GT Helps the Pack
Congratulations to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets! Tech’s win over Carolina last night in Atlanta made a big statement for the ACC’s push to get more than six teams into the NCAA Tournament. If the NCAA Tournament would have started before last night, Georgia Tech would not have made the field. But, their win last […]
Is Fowler Working the NIT Phones?
With the Senior Day win over Wake Forest, NC State is now assured of no worse than a .500 record when the ACC Regular Season and Tournament is over. Currently, the Wolfpack is 15-13 with at least two games to play, at Maryland to end the season, and a most likely 7/10 match-up in the […]
