So far today, the Tampa pod has seen upset wins by Western Kentucky (best game of the tourney so far), San Diego (guttiest performance of the tourney so far, winning after 2 best players fouled out in OT), and Siena (surprising rout of Vandy). We’ll see if the court has enough mojo to lift the […]

NCAAT Friday – Tell us more about the how great the Pac-10 is
* Friday’s Games * The over-rated Pac-10 conference lost two teams on the first day of the NCAA Tournament when Arizona and USC lost to the Big East and the Big 12, respectfully. Poor Doug Gottlieb probably didn’t get any sleep last night in between his sobs. * Duke barely escapes Belmont. * I expect […]
NCAAT Thursday Thread
I’m just about ready to head home and watch the action. Georgia/Xavier could be interesting, and Michigan State/Temple could be a combined 90-point effort. Purdue/Baylor is an interesting 2:55 matchup. Friday, of course, is our big day where “ORANGEfansNation” will be in full effect. Go Vols! Go Longhorns!… I will be live blogging the Clemson/Nova […]
NCAAT Selection Thread
Naturally, UNC and Duke get cushy draws. Duke won’t play a good team before the Elite Eight. The other teams in their way? All are very weak relative to seed – #3 Xavier, #6 Purdue, #7 West Virginia, #10 Arizona. UNC doesn’t fare quite as well, despite their #1 overall seed. Still, only one decent […]
The Bubble Returns
We’ve seen some surprises (both good and bad) and a lot of movement since our last look around the ACC. We’ve also found the bubble once again…though I’m sure the Twerps aren’t real happy about that. So, let’s start with the conference as a whole and look at the big movers since our last look […]
Wake Enters NCAA Tournament Discussion; State Mired in Point Guard Mess of Our Making
We set the stage in this entry last week that unless someone started claiming some scalps that the ACC would only have four participants in this year’s NCAA Tournament. Wake Forest’s big win yesterday over the Duke Blue Devils is exactly the kind of statement and scalp that the Demon Deacons needed to propel themselves […]
Doing the Math (The Path to 8 ACC Wins)
Let the people rejoice – State beat the castrated turkeys once again, to get back to .500 in the ACC. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the second half of the conference schedule is even more difficult. NC State will likely only be favored in one game (home vs. FSU). But all […]
NC State 73, Virginia Tech 63 – Wolfpack Takes Key Step Back into Top 40
Sidney Lowe continued his mastery of “Basketball Grobe” tonight as the NC State Wolfpack won for the third time in the last four games. The Wolfpack is now 15-7 with an ACC record that now stands at .500 at 4-4. NC State never trailed in route to our second consecutive win over a team ahead […]
Miami Beats Clemson, Potentially Helps Pack
Frank Haith’s Miami Hurricanes beat Clemson, 75-72, today in a key ACC match-up that may ultimately serve to support NC State’s slim chances to earn an NCAA Tournament bid when the 2007-2008 college basketball regular season comes to a close. I definitely understand that Clemson will have a stronger mathematical impact on NC State’s RPI […]
