As both replays in this entry indicate, there was the slightest bit of contact during the first part of Nelson’s drive that was obviously initiated by Nelson’s hook. No whistle blew at the time of the contact. The whistle didn’t blow (and a foul wasn’t called) until a part of the play where there was […]

Clemson Sets NCAA Record for Futility, Officiating Takes the Spotlight (Updated 3:15 pm)

We are updating what was once the ‘open entry’ for Sunday with more fallout from Sunday’s Clemson-Carolina […]
Making Sense of the ACC
ESPN.com’s expanded ACC standings. I probably should have added a question mark to the title, because it’s a difficult task. One thing is abundantly clear – Duke and UNC are significantly better than everyone else. I expect them both to be no worse than #2 seeds in the NCAAT. Damn it. After that, it’s less […]

Hess Holds Back on Roy

But, I just have a feeling and didn’t want to ignore this opportunity. Referees aren’t enforcing the NCAA’s “bench decorum” mandate designed to punish angry […]
The Bloodletting Begins (Again)
It is ACC-Big 10 Challenge week, and that means it is time for another beat down of big boys from the midwest. The ACC has won each of the previous eight challenges and leads the overall series by a whopping 48-27. Make that 49-27 after Wake Forest won on the road at Iowa last night. […]
Green, Jr: NC State 1974 = The Best

Conference SOS
As soon as ACC decided to go to an unbalanced basketball schedule, it was obvious that some teams would get “harder�? schedules and some would get “easier�? ones. So now the time has come to try and figure out which is which. I decided to compile the ACC wins by each team’s opponents and use […]
