I have no clue who is going to end up raising a banner. Should make for some interesting basketball these next few days. My guess is Duke takes it home with some big help from the Refs.
****OFFICIAL ACC TOURNEY****

It's definitely hard to predict. There's several teams that could win it and you could say it wouldn't be a big surprise to see.
Today's games will be interesting. As a Miami fan, Idk if I'd rather see Cuse or Wake tomorrow. Wake can really score but Syracuse and that zone is such a different wrinkle, with big Jesse Edwards in the middle.
Idk what Quinten Post's status is going into BC/UNC today? If he's healthy, that game could be very intriguing. Don't think GT will have much for Pitt. Pitt is probably coming in pissed off, with a big chip on their shoulder. NC State/VT should be fun to watch tonight. Two strong offensive teams. If VT is able to upset NC State, it's hard to imagine them having much left for Clemson tomorrow after playing a tough game against ND last night and tonight's game won't be ever til damn near midnight.

It’s absolutely irrational how much Corey Alexander bothers me.
That syracuse zone lately has more holes in it than a golf resort. Wake has a really good coach and would scare me more than a geriatric Boeheim
😂
Yeah it's definitely not the typical Syracuse zone lol. I didn't know Monsanto was injured for Wake Forest. That's a significant loss for them, takes away a lot of their scoring punch especially from outside. They could really use him in this matchup against that zone.
Cuse is looking pretty good early. Or maybe it's Wake playing like crap.
Sounds like someone was not impressed by the ACC having 3 in the elite 8 and two in the final four 😐
Feel like the winner is coming from the top half of the bracket... Miami, Duke, or Pitt.
I know a lot of people have UNC as a dark horse contender, which is fair, considering they don't have a brutal path to get to the finals. But, in tournaments, if I'm going underdog, give me a team with an elite backcourt. I'd be more inclined to say NC State as dark horse than UNC. Joiner/Smith/Morsell > Davis/Love.
Granted, they do need to polish that PnR defense with Burns. Dude is such a liability on defense. But, their guards are really, really tough to defend.

Syracuse has officially packed it in.. LOL fùck’em this is hilarious
Couldn't happen to a better coach. Boeheim trashed Greensboro and the ACC fans haven't forgotten about that.
Fun way to start the day off. Cuse made a nice comeback. Williamson with the buzzer-beater.
Go Pitt!! I want Jeff Capel to make the tourney after all he did for us on the recruiting trail.
Georgia Tech keeping it close. Pitt up 50-49. Easy to sleep on GT. They had a very slow start to the season. But, they've actually won 4 in a row - and 6 of their last 7.
Now that Pitt won and punched their ticket.. I didn’t need no GREENSBORO CURSE. I understand that Greensboro is great for the NC schools but it’s an absolute hell hole to get to from anywhere else in the country.
Six of us are here and we all had to hit a connecting flight in either ATL/CLT. It’s a pain in the ass to get to. Now that I got here, it’s nice and I’ve had fun all day.. mainly because Pitt won. We are sticking around for the UNC game then heading out for the night.
Will give my official 1/10 rating on Greensboro tomorrow afternoon
Congrats on your probable 11 seed. It’s always nice to see Pitt back at the top of their game.
Rumor has it “the zoo” (gayest name ever) used his hair grease to fist each other.
That's an embarrassing call on Bacot. Then they reviewed it and didn't call the flop like they should have. This is why people don't trust officials.
NC State 😯
Very dangerous. Who the hell wants to face that backcourt. They've been off since last Tuesday and it shows. They look very well rested.

Yeah, they can be good. They have enough to compete with anyone. They are still State though.
Big bubble day for UNC. A loss and they are out for sure you would have to think but if they win they might be in with a little help. Mountain West is the one to keep an eye on with 3 teams right in the bubble mix (Boise State, Utah State, Nevada and none of them play each other today). Other big ones to watch are Rutgers-Michigan, MSU-Florida, OSU-Texas, PSU-Illinois, NC State-Clemson, and ASU-USC.
Hilarious that Greensboro is the city that retired Boeheim. Karma.
Also, I now have 10,000 posts. If I reach 20,000 - somebody please shoot me.
