Well, there’s one month left in the regular season and then what’s normally the best time of the college season starts…
[See the full post at: Basketball Update – One Month Left]I think we can all agree this is a throw away year and hope it gets better next year. I have watched the least amount of basketball my entire life this year.
I have been watching this year, but only sporadically. It has been painful, but not as painful as most of the Lowe years. At this point, my real interest is in Cat’s play. He better be very strong in the ACC-POY conversation, even given that he is playing on a non-tourney team. I will be very disappointed if he is not at least 2nd team All American.
As painful as watching the losses have been, I’ve been tuning in, just to watch Cat. He is truly a treat to watch.
I didn’t think about the Dance Card until just now. Here’s their analysis of the ACC teams going through Sunday’s games. Later in the season, they will switch to a daily update.
Dance Card Site:
http://www.unf.edu/~jcoleman/dance.htmNormally, in addition to Va’s updates, I would have been looking at the Dance Card and RPI charts regularly. This year, Va’s imbed of this week’s Dance Card above is the first I’ve seen of either.
But I’m firmly in the “Still watching the Kitteh” camp. Dude deserves it (as do the rest).
^ I think our only legit shot (if you consider it legit), is to win the ACC Tourny. It would be about time.
Yeah, one month left equals good. But only 1 month left of watching Cat Daddy equals sad.

This just in, L’Ville self imposes a 1 year post season ban. Your move Cheaters.
John Swofford’s “New And Improved ACC” rolls on!
Well, looks like the Pack will move up a notch in the ACC standings! Who knows, this just might get them out of having to play on ACCT Tuesday!
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy than Pitino.
Thanks for the update. Your work is appreciated.
I’ve watched the least amount of NC State that I’ve watched in my lifetime. When I do watch (minus a half here or there), it is painfully bad.
I’ve watched probably the least amount of NCAA basketball in total in my lifetime. When I do watch, the product is generally not that good. Having said that, most of the teams that I’ve seen play look like they could beat NC State this year. We’re just bad on so many levels outside of Cat. Almost every team I casually watch looks better at fundamentals, has crisper ball movement, etc..
NC State’s only chance at the post season is to win the ACC tournament. In the current tournament format, the likelihood of that run has to be less than 1%.
This is setting up for a historically bad season. It’s hard not to see this as a burning dumpster fire. It’s too bad we’re going to look the other way and pretend it’s a mulligan.
L’ville has done the right thing …. never thought I’d say they would show some degree of class, but they have. HOWEVER, the lying, cheating bastards up the road continue on their march toward the big dance. I’m so tired of unCheat’s arrogance.

5 years of Les + first 5 years of Herb. State was too painful to watch and watching other games just reminded me how much State sucked.
If anyone cares….in ’06-’07 Duke went 8-8 in conference. This might end up their worst year since then.
^^ all memories of the
goodold days…I held season tickets during both the Les Robinson and Sidney Lowe era’s. I also had tickets the first 2 years of the Herb Sendek era.If anyone cares….in ’06-’07 Duke went 8-8 in conference. This might end up their worst year since then.
When K starts getting the “bad team” back problems, you know his team is not good. I am sure he will try to get this record expunged from this record.

A world of this. Didn’t think that much about it at the time, but later was embarrassed at how much I lost touch during this dark age.
Appreciate your work – always look forward to these in-season analyses.
I was a student (undergrad and grad) during the Les and HWSNBN eras. I witnessed a lot of putrid basketball.
The difference then was that there was always hope that we’d return to our rightful place. Les was the alum falling on the sword for ridiculousness. The next guy would come in and win like we had under V and Sloan. It was to be briefly endured. HWSNBN’s ten long miserable years, 5 of which were after it was obvious he wasn’t the answer, the hiring of Lowe and his incredibly predictable results and this regime’s reboot of HWSNBN’s last five have about finished me off.
We are seemingly destined to blow timing opportunity after timing opportunity because we’re seemingly too scared to do what needs to be done. We will underachieve until all our comparative advangtes are gone. We’ll have no one but ourselves to blame.
I think we can all agree this is a throw away year
I don’t agree, so please do not presume to speak for me or others. I have enjoyed watching this team get better very much and still get excited to watch every game. We have a chance every game we play, and Cat has kept raising his level of play seemingly every game. I do not understand why you feel qualified to keep commenting on the teams play when you say you have not been watching them.
TV “backloads” the ACC schedule.
build them up to tear them down = drama.
this is turning into Dancing With the Stars.If anyone cares….in ’06-’07 Duke went 8-8 in conference. This might end up their worst year since then.
As another “old” Big Four guy — (e.g. the greatest Christmas BBall tourny ever…)
it’s also worth noting the Devils still have to play the Holes this month…
although they only play ONE TIME in Swoffy’s new and improved ACC….
which by all accounts is blaspheme…#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!
