****OFFICIAL ACC TOURNEY****

Absolutely. I'll take it for sure.
Just a little difficult to ignore the fact that in Miami's last three games, they've held leads of 25, 9, and 17 in the second half of each. Yet, all three came down to an attempted game-winning shot at the buzzer. Late game execution has been rough. Not a great feeling heading into the ACC semifinals and into March madness
Flip connected on his first two shots, two 3-pointers. Then he rolled his ankle. Not sure if he'll be back today. Would be a huge loss.
The Pack can beat anybody on any given day. They can also lose to anybody on any given day. That’s what make them scary for their fans and opponent’s fans.
At least they close them out. UNC has trouble closing them out and generally will go ahead and choke it away.
It genuinely just feels like I’ve been too bearish all season, so the universe needed to get my hopes up just a little bit before our first round exit.
Very similar feelings. I've had pretty low/moderate expectations all season long. And now we're playing about as well as we possibly could. A 1st Round loss would now actually hurt. A month ago, I was almost expecting it.
Yeah, I’m trying to keep that same attitude. It’s hard when they play like this though, as much as I know they’ll never shoot like this again
It's literally just a 6 hour drive to there from Pittsburgh. Lmfao.
Wait til you see all the dogs in the bars and long lines to go pee due to unisex bathrooms.
Wisconsin and Michigan are done. Every Ohio State and Iowa State win (except OSU cant win their conference) helps our strength of schedule (and hey maybe osu gets up to quad 1 for us).
Florida coming up short hurt tho.
REALLY wish we didn't have to see you guys tomorrow night. Feels more like that should be the final on Saturday. I'm having a really hard time seeing how Miami wins.
ACC HQ is based there. It's part of ACC history. Not Charlotte, not Raleigh but Greensboro. With expansion that has changed and now Charlotte is where the HQ will be I think starting next year. Also Greensboro has been host to alot of NCAA games over the years, including the first 2 rounds this year.
Yep, Wisky am Michigan shit the bed. I think they're done. Rutgers may have locked up a spot with that win over Michigan though. Would be huge for one or two of these Mountain West bubble teams to lose today.
You can thank the refs for gifting Virginia a win against Duke and the #1 seed. Just once I'd like Duke to have some calls go our way.
If Jon teaches players to play the right way as K did, you'll be alright.
Did he get caught hanging out near a preschool or playground or something?
I don’t know, man. I appreciate the sentiment, but I still feel like there’s a lot of unknowns going into tomorrow. N.C. State and Pittsburgh are the only “notable” wins of this streak, and the latter was just an otherworldly shooting performance.
If Duke wins tomorrow, I’ll be truly excited about the trajectory of the team for the first time all season. I think Duke keeps it within 3-4 possessions all game, but Miami wins without too much sweat in all.
Filipkowski and Proctor are awesome. Can't wait til they leave. They make that team so much better. Lively is decent too.
Crazy lol. It wouldn't surprise me if Duke wins big, honestly.
I'm curious to hear what you would say are the biggest keys to Duke's improvement? Other than playing a bunch of young guys that have improved as the season has went on. It can't be that simple lol. Proctor becoming the primary ball handler, Whitehead getting healthy, anything else in particular?
Honestly, Lively quietly went from being the most overrated recruit I’ve ever seen to absolutely critical. He’s helped turn them into such a solid defensive team, and his newfound ability to at least be a threat to score at the rim has really changed the offense more than you could ever imagine 6-8 ppg could.
They'd probably prefer to gouge their eyes out with an ice pick than watch him for another season.
Embarrassing. Worst UVA team in years is scoring at will on this garbage defense. We attack ball screens like a YMCA team playing against the freaking Golden State Warriors.
