In case you missed it this week: Cincinnati’s Mick Cronin — who, himself, is nothing if not pompous — was visibly upset over an out of bounds call the other night, but TV Teddy clearly escalated Cronin’s outrage by lunging into his face. You be the judge. The Cincinnati Enquirer: “I don’t appreciate people getting […]
College Basketball
One Week Left
We have one week (and a couple of days) until the end of the regular season. I would have waited until Monday for the last regular-season update, but I didn’t want to put this up on the same day as jigawatt’s game preview. After last night, I don’t have much energy for lengthy intros. So […]
ACC BB Round-Up
The facepalm seems to have gained popularity during the pre-game reports and the results over the past week certainly deserve one (probably more than one). I could say a lot more, but I think that everything that could be said has already been covered in the half-dozen threads since last Sat. The regular season is […]
New ACC Tournament Format
With conference expansion swelling the ACC to 15 teams, the conference either had to pick a new tournament format or kick the bottom three teams out. I would have been OK with either decision, but the ACC is going to use the same tournament format as the one used by the Big East from 2009-2013. […]
Sunday’s salt in the wound – NC State, Phil Ford article in N&O
I know that the timing of News & Observer’s string of articles around the 40th anniversary of NC State’s 1974 National Championship Basketball this morning was pre-determined…nonetheless, this one focusing on the shift of power really stung. Despite the torture it created for me this morning it is worth reading; particularly for our younger audience. […]
Snowy ACC Update
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night can stop our weekly ACC updates. I hope that everyone stuck in what passes for a blizzard in the southeast is most of all warm and safe…followed closely by continuing cable/satellite and internet access. Just remember that you can’t fix stupid because I’m sure […]
ACC Mid-Season Review
Now that we’ve reached the half-way point in the conference schedule, you would think that we could divide the conference into the good, the bad, and the forgettable. But somehow over the last two weeks, various teams have managed to change directions and are blurring the cross over points between the expected groups. For starters, […]
Hard to Kill
Some things are really hard to kill…like Count Dracula or the silly notion that 20 wins means something special to the NCAAT Selection Committee. No matter how many times I have shot down the 20-win nonsense, it comes back every year. I’m beginning to fill like a vampire hunter with a rubber stake. In any […]
Mess in the Middle
In the latest update on the ACC, we’ll highlight what’s going on in the middle of the conference…otherwise known as the “mess in the middle”. Depending on the author, a picture is not always worth a 1000 words…but we’ll use one for the summary of both the middle of the ACC and where they are […]
Big Three – Stat of the Day
The last time there was an AP basketball poll without Duke, UNC or NC State was Dec. 29, 1970. http://t.co/nW5AnTeQU6 — Stephen Schramm (@stephenschramm) January 14, 2014 If you are looking for a little more Wolfpack news this morning I urge you to click here and hop over to our newly re-designed forums and participate.
