We’re in the middle of the Pack in the ACC. Occasionally playing great, mostly fair to middlin’ and awful every once in a while. Did you really expect anything else?
Remember the Valvano formula, win 20 games, play 500 ball in the ACC and peak at the end of the season. The Pack is 14 – 10 and 5 – 6 with a month to go. This team still has a chance to hit on all three – go 4 and 3 for the rest of the regular season and win a couple games in the ACC tournament.
The one improvement I’d really like to see is for the coaches to manage late game leads better. We’ve lost several games where we were up by more points than there are minutes left in the game. We could easily be 7 – 4 instead of 5 – 6!
Bottom line, this team shows the two things I require to be an interested fan – they go all out 40 minutes a game and play exciting basketball that’s worth watching.
Bring it on! Do whatever is necessary to have an ACC game in Reynolds. That place is an advantage in close games in a way the Alphabet Arena never will be.
I loved the crowd’s thunderous roar when Spud Webb dunked the ball. You couldn’t shout loud enough to a person standing next to you to be heard.
And the crowd chanting “Sit down Lefty! Sit down Lefty!” as Lefty Driesell prowled the sideline.
What’s your favorite Reynolds memory?
