So long Big 12. It was nice playing with you, but I believe you need to run along home now. You have no teams left in the Big Dance (or the little one either). There have only been four NCAA games since my last update, but there have been a handful of NIT games on…

I had plans earlier this week to do some combing through Charlie Board’s fantastic site along with the official ACC site to get some good, interesting stats about the ACC’s performance in the NCAA tournament. Then, when I looked at the ACC’s weekly release, I realized that they’d already done a great job! So, instead,…

I don’t normally post about baseball, especially during basketball season, but this is too weird to pass up. While watching the tournament this weekend (or maybe it was while watching SportsCenter) I saw an old Alex Rodriguez commercial. It’s the one where his doorman throws him a ball while he’s jogging and later a reporter…

When I first saw that four ACC teams would be playing on Sunday, I had a bad feeling. I had this ominous gnawing in my gut that things would go poorly and the ACC would lose three or four of those teams. That feeling grew even even stronger when Wake was bounced on Saturday night.…

I’ve never done one of these, but today seems like a good time to give it a run. This way those of us stuck in an office today can post thoughts on the games going on. Chat away.

Whew! I was worried for a while there. It turns out that Dan Bonner is OK. He’s working one of the first round games today. When Bonner wasn’t working the local broadcasts of the ACC Tournament, I was concerned. I honestly thought that maybe Mike Hogewood had eaten him.

Update: Only a few more hours to sign up! We have 21 people in the pool now, which is a pretty nice contest. Lets see if we can get some more! Want to impress your coworkers? Shame your friends? Score with the ladies (or gentlemen)? Then you need to join my Dave Sez NCAA Pool.…

Before we move on to the college basketball feast that is the NCAA Tournament, I want to look back at the ACC Tournament. Ned Barnett of the News & Observer rightly points out that the timing of the tournament final, just a few hours before the NCAA brackets are revealed, makes it easy to overlook…

Maryland and Miami both blew their chances at an at-large bid yesterday. Miami was a bit of a long shot, but Maryland really only need to win one game to get in. They didn’t and they deserve to be left out, even though some people still think they have a shot. A brief rundown of…

I finally got the final Prouty ratings done for the 2005 season. I did some fancy cut’n and past’n to get stats from conference games only, which I think is the fairest way to compare performance. It was a bit of a pain, but I did it for you. You know why? Because I love…
