Since the ACC’s only Thursday night game is going as expected, it seems safe enough to use Thursday morning’s RPI data for our weekly update: It’s interesting to note that UNC has the fewest Top-50 wins among those teams rated as IN. On Monday morning, I noticed that GT had moved past Clemson on the […]

Basketball Weekly Roundup
I enjoy doing these weekly updates on ACC basketball. (I guess that’s a good thing because the pay certainly sucks.) But I would hate to do a bracket for the entire NCAAT on a weekly or more frequent basis. The danger in trying to do too much too frequently was nicely illustrated before the Duke/UNC […]
Media starting to recognize Cat Barber’s exploits
h/t newsobserver.com and Ethan Hyman After NC State’s 99-88 victory over Big 4 Rival Wake Forest on Saturday, Wolfpack fans all over were talking about the continued incredible play of Cat Barber. Barber had 38 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists against the Deacons in leading the team to its third conference victory of the […]
ACC Basketball Weekly Update
Strange week in that the “mid-week” games were front-loaded on Monday and Tuesday, with only two games total left for Wed and Thursday. Oh and the two games on Wed and Thurs weren’t worth the time to watch. Wednesday’s game was against two teams in the bottom third with nothing left to play for and […]
Basketball Update – One Month Left
Well, there’s one month left in the regular season and then what’s normally the best time of the college season starts. While this year hasn’t been much fun for State fans, there is potential for a record number of ACC teams to make the Big Dance. So let’s get to it: RPI TABLE Since there […]
ACC Basketball Update – One Month In
The first month of conference play seems to have flown by with a number of surprises, both good and bad. UVa’s comeback from down nine with a minute and half to play (ending with a banked in three-pointer at the buzzer) captures both the good and bad depending on which fan base you talk to. […]
Snowbound ACC Basketball Update
Well I trust that all our readers in the mid-Atlantic region have stocked up on their essential provisions for the blizzard of 2016. For the first time in the nearly 30 years that I’ve lived in VA, my company closed all operations the day before the first flake even hit the pavement. So I have […]
Weekly ACC Basketball Update
Photo from The Daily Herald I started to say, “at least the Seahawks won”…but it would be more accurate to say that the Vikings lost. Luckily, there’s already a recap of the Wake Forest game up so I feel no need to pour salt into any open wounds. So let’s start the weekly roundup […]
Merry Christmas from SFN
From all of us, to all of you, we wish you the best of everything this Christmas, and throughout 2016. Maybe this will finally be the year Santa hears my wish, and I find Beverly D’Angelo in my stocking. I’ve only been asking for like 20 years. –
Wolfpack Football All-ACC Performers Recognized
The Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association (ACSMA) unveiled their All-ACC Football team for the 2015 season earlier this week, and the Pack has a few guys who deserve the recognition. Sophomore Tight End Jaylen Samuels was recognized as a first team performer, as was RS Senior Offensive Tackle Joe Thuney. RS Senior Defensive End Mike […]
