Hey, we won one. And even looked mostly good down the stretch at crunch time while salting it away after coming from behind. Still some defensive breakdowns, too many for my liking if I’m being honest. But that’s to be expected by now. Bottom line….good guys win one, 79-74. Now, let’s make it two in […]
Your “Here We Go Again” Pitt Open Thread
What do I mean by “Here we go again”….? Well, now for only the SECOND time during my time at SFN, I have no idea what to write. Just….wow. Yes….”Facepalm Level” has been unlocked. Next stop…..Bag on Head. – I’m not gonna talk much about the GT game. This is a family site and I […]
ACC BB Weekly Update
(Mandatory Credit: Rob Kinnan-USA TODAY Sports) I think I’ll take a minute to back up and discuss the classifications of “IN”, “BUBBLE”, and “OUT” that I give to each team in the ACC on a weekly basis. Obviously there are no NCAAT bids extended in January or February. So my classification of “IN” is supposed […]
Your “There’s No Place Like Home” GT Open Thread
OK, so that wasn’t the best road trip ever. To say the least. For the first time in my handful of years posting, and then later writing, amongst you fine group of folks on this’n here blog….for the first time I am sitting here at a loss as to what to write. So this one […]
Your “Bounceback Road Win…Hopefully” BC Game Thread
Wow. That was ugly, huh? I mean, I expected us to look overmatched in Chapel Hill. But just….WOW. The Pack (12-4, 1-2 ACC) kinda took it on the chin this past weekend. Of course, with the game delay due to the winter storm, one of the themes during the game was “NC State wanted to […]
ACC Weekly Update
The photo came from N&O last week with no specific photographer being credited. Obviously I didn’t look for a photo from Sunday’s game. After the soul-sapping game on Sunday, I’m not in the mood to dream up a snappy introduction to the weekly conference overview. So let’s jump in straight to the good stuff […]
Your “Carolina Sucks” Game Thread (updated….sort of)
“Carolina Sucks” Even that’s not good enough for them. I wrote this post yesterday, then they got skeert of the weather. I’ve been out to the ABC store twice but they couldn’t play a basketball game. Yes, we got about six inches in Northern Orange County. But still…… Oh well…this is the extent of my […]
Your “Holy Crap I Forgot About This Game” Game Thread
Oh Crap. Sorry Dudes. Lots going on lately. Yesterday, I knew this game was today. Today, however….I blanked. Sorry. So this is gonna be short and sweet. Well, short at least…. – Last time out the young Pack (11-3, 0-1 ACC) got spanked pretty good in South Beach. Tonight, they return home to face a […]
ACC BB – Preseason Summary
Normally I kick back on New Year’s Day, watch football, and contemplate the meaning of life; which for the next several months is better known as the RPI Ranking. However, an ugly stomach bug killed any desire for blogging, and hence my late entry to start the basketball season. In round numbers, the OOC games […]
ACC Basketball Opener – On the Road at daU
Welp folks, the preliminaries are finished. It’s time for the main event. The Pack got thru a weak OOC schedule relatively unscathed, managing to only stub its toe once. Well, twice if you consider how badly Creighton beat our asses….but the loss to Creighton itself isn’t shameful. But Illinois? Even on the road. We shoulda […]
