First off, a site note. I, and others, normally comment on games during the week in the “The Week To Be” threads. So, sometimes what I write here is redundant and other times I am just brief because I already discussed a game in that previous thread. Feel free to jump in and say what…

02/13/06 Boston College 59, Stony Brook 47 – Chestnut Hill, Mass. (XM 191) 7:00 PM Hey BC, you’re not in the Big East anymore. We don’t play on Monday nights around here. 02/14/06 Maryland @ Clemson – Clemson, SC RJ* (XM 191) 8:00 PM Maryland really needs this game to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes…

It’s getting to be the time of year when you can start to seriously evaluate teams’ postseason chances. With about a month of play left to determine things, it’s still a bit early for some teams, but we can certainly tell who the significant players are. With that in mind, I’m reviving a feature I…

02/11/06 Duke 96, Maryland 88 – College Park, Md. I wrote that Maryland would have to come out and play with the passion that they showed late against Virginia, and they did. But it still wasn’t enough. Unfortunately for them, I think Duke played their most complete offensive game of the year, getting points from…

I just checked my TiVo’s schedule of upcoming events and saw a couple of shows in there that you might not want to miss. Next Thursday, 2/16, at 2pm, ESPN Classic is airing the great 1992 Duke-Kentucky game, also known as the Laettner game. This is the NCAA Regional Final game where Laettner stomped (stepped,…

02/11/06 Duke @ Maryland – College Park, Md. CBS (XM 191) 1:00 PM If you watched Maryland beat Virginia the other night, you saw two completely different Maryland teams – the one that played the first 32 minutes and the one that played the final 8. How they do in this game will depend entirely…

It’s always a big deal when you can score a big upset over your arch-rival. We almost saw that on Tuesday night. With just a few minutes to play, in fact, the upset by the younger, less talented team seemed likely. But in the end, experience and talent won out, like it usually does and…

01/31/06 Virginia Tech 63, Georgia Tech 62 – Blacksburg, Va. A good win for the Hokies in that they needed another conference win, but honestly, it’s hard to see it being that significant for either team in the long run. Georgia Tech is already too deep in the hole to realistically consider any postseason tournament…

Now that we are at the middle of the ACC season (except for Carolina and Maryland who have still only played seven conference games), it’s a good time to take a look at how players are doing. Just like I did last year (here, here and here), I calculated the Prouty Ratings of all ACC…

It’s been a while, but the time has come for Name That Site episode 5. If you remember past editions (one, two, three, four), you’ll know that the way this works is that I post a Google Earth image of a significant ACC venue. It may not be a venue on an ACC campus, but…
