ACC thread...

I’ve watched you guys play a lot this season, you have a very strong team. With that said, you actually played the worst game offensively I have seen in years when you played Kentucky. If you guys shoot like that again, you’ll lose to whoever you are playing. Georgia tech got extremely hot in the 2nd half against us and it carried over to the Clemson game for them. I watched GT beat Louisville and Clemson, yet neither team looked anywhere near as bad as Tennessee did against Kentucky. They were letting you guys shoot and you couldn’t hit anything.

I think Vols would handle Clemson on a neutral court, our D would stifle them

To take it further, Tennessee hit 9-19 threes when we played y’all, most were contested shots. Now fast forward to the game with Kentucky, they let you guys shoot and you hit 10-45? Don’t doom other teams, because nobody has looked worse than you guys did in that game.

They could definitely beat you if you aren’t hitting.

Louisville won both games last week by double figures and dropped a spot in the polls? Lol

Meanwhile Mississippi State lost by 27 and then beat Georgia by one and remain ranked? lol

Lets not forget though they lost to Georgia Tech,Boise St and USCjr. They are good but certainly capable of a round 1 exit with the wrong matchup

I think for the most part the second round games will be a challenge for most everyone. The very top seeds likely will only be somewhat safe for one round IMO.
Uconn, Clemson, Louisville, Mississippi St, Baylor, Creighton, Oregon, Gonzaga, Etc will be the type of teams 1-2 seeds will see in the second round. Should be a fun tournament. There isn't a UCONN/Purdue type dominant team this year IMO despite what metrics are saying. I also think the field in general is stronger. Transfer portal is making things interesting again.

I just knew unc was going to beat Clemson tonight just to add salt to the wound. Glad that I was terribly wrong.

So ridiculous. Time will tell though in the tourney.

Miss St has fallen off imo. We played em last night and they seemed so lost on D. We had open shooters every possession it seemed. That and we were without Martin or Condon.
Early on in the season I thought they'd be a much stronger contender. Maybe the scouting report has simply caught up to them?
Remember how amazing they looked @ Memphis early on?

UK played tgem in Starkville not long after they smacked Memphis and I would have bet a large amount of money they were beating UK's ass, but somehow the cats got out with a win.
Seems like they have been in a freefall ever since the Menphis game.
They did beat Ole Miss though.
I saw your game last night on one of the other screens, every time I looked, Florida was hitting another wide open 3 like it was practice.

Yeah for whatever reason they insisted upon help/over-pursuit on the ball carrier and just leaving guys open. I kept thinking they were going adjust and they just didn't. Like why did they bring in Melendez if they didn't want him putting up 3s? I mean we did a good job trying to give Hubbard no where to drive, but he's gotta become more of a playmaker in those instances. They just seemed out of sorts is all.

To be fair they're 5-6 in the SEC which is respectable, but I expected a bit more. They have some dudes over there still so they could still turn it around.

For the first time in the program’s history, Louisville has five 20+ point road victories.
