Boston College Regular Season Finale Game Thread

Thanks to the resurgent Orange (and to Wake for beating Duke earlier in the week), NC State is now poised to earn the ACCT 7 seed with a win today. That would leave us likely playing #10 Miami on Thursday, followed by the aforementioned Orange on Friday. Unfortunately, unless #6 Clemson or #11/14 Wake/BC show MUCH more than I expect…Duke would await on Saturday. And State needs to make it to Sunday in order to have a shot at a dance invite.

But…first things first. Boston College is locked in as the #14 seed, and with good reason (they’ve sucked, just not VPI-level sucked). But they do have one very good player (Olivier Hanlon), and did win at Syracuse. We need to see lots of Hipster Cat today, hopefully locking OH down and leading us to an easy victory.

A loss would leave State at #9, and a Thursday game against a confident Maryland team. Let’s not think too much about that.

    Note to all you youngsters out there – even a fully-inked guy with a ponytail knows that a neck tattoo is a bridge too far.

    I like the Fu Man Chu ponytail look. Now fill out the chin beard, Cat.

    Wow, Des has really come to play.

    Not sure I agreed about wide-open ACCT. I expect Duke to dominate. From a betting standpoint, I’d take just Duke and give you the rest of the field.

    Des always looks so dejected when he doesn’t get the ball in the open floor lol

    Okay I’m here. Just finished putting the kids trampoline together and eating dinner. Sorry about no preview but time just got away from me.

    From what I’ve seen, have to stick with Des on Olivier the rest of the day.

    I’m stupid enough to let my kids talk me into a trampoline, too. But I paid a handyman to put it together, out of fear that someone (likely me, from a stroke) would end up dead.

    ^Really? I agree that Duke is the overall favorite, but I do feel that they are very beatable. Defense is suspect, and any team that relies on the 3 that much is one off night away… Trouble is, they’re usually 50% from three since the right players take the shots haha.

    We need three guys in double figures every night.

    CUZ taking 44% of our shots… 11/25….

    ANTHONY goes back to the bench.

    The one time Vandy jumps he gets upended.
    That’s a long way down for him.

    Part of it is matchups. Duke is in the Cuse half of the bracket, and they’ve sucked of late. The Holes face their worst possible Friday matchup (Pitt), and I still just don’t believe in UVA. That leaves Duke.

    I also think they are by far the most talented, 1-5, and K really values winning the ACCT.

    We may need to stick Buckets on Hanlan. Jeebus.

    It wasn’t as hard as I thought it might be and I did it all by myself so that made it take longer. Luckily the grandparents went halvsies in on it.

    I wish moving screens were a consistent call … of course, there would be a ton on us as well.

    Wow, even the handyman put it together with a helper. That’s mighty impressive.

    Grandmas are always involved in trampoline conspiracies.

    I also get tired of seeing teams scoring after they’ve obviously turned the ball over. That really hasn’t been a problem for us much though this season, right? (/sarcasm)

    Gott looks to have a little bit of herpes on his lip.
    I will comment on that no further.

    I’m just going to keep talking about home projects and everything else but the game since it’s working well so far.

    Surprised my legs held up from all the bending/squatting since I did my last long run yesterday, 11 miles, before my half marathon coming up.
