I guess with the NEW ACC and Tournament format, today’s full slate of games represents a “first round” and Friday’s sessions will now be referred to as “Quarterfinals” &/or “2nd round”.

Tough Week in the Media for Sendek
When it rains, it pours. As NC State’s “great season” was being exposed as a farce built on the back of another embarassingly poor schedule, Coach Herb Sendek was simultaneously taking quite a few body-blows in the press over the last couple of weeks.
