  • Weekend Roundup

    I’m getting this out a bit late, so I won’t go into too much detail about the weekend games. If you haven’t read plenty about the big games yet, you probably don’t care to now either. The best game of the weekend of course was the Duke-Carolina game. Great game. The first half was particularly…

  • I’ll have a longer post this afternoon on the weekend games, but I thought I’d post some links to vids of Chris Paul’s love tap to Julius Hodge’s jewels. I don’t really know the folks who are hosting these vids, or I’d give them credit. http://www4.ncsu.edu/~jacovil2/cp3reacharound.wmv http://home.comcast.net/~fabianterp/cp.wmv In each case, it’s fairly obvious that Paul…

  • Last week, I gave you the nominees. Now, it’s time for the awards. Early in this season, I thought it would be one of the toughest seasons ever to pick the all-conference teams. The league is just loaded with top-quality players! As the season went on, things shook around a bit and actually became pretty…

  • End Of Days

    Let’s take a quick lookee lookee at the remaining conference games, shall we? Tue 3/1/05 VA.TECH @ CLEMSON Littlejohn, Clemson 7:00 PM RSN This one almost certainly closed the door on the Hokie’s opportunity for an at-large bid. I think the symmetry of how the game ended was beautiful. In their first meeting, Clemson had…

  • You’ve probably seen some stories about this by now – the NCAA released their new report on academic performance at member schools. The report uses a complicated standard called the Academic Progress Rate to combine lots of factors into one tidy score. The score is out of 1000 and the NCAA says that 925 is…

  • Tough Tar Heels

    It was another tough weekend for the ACC bubble teams. NC State, Virginia Tech, Maryland, Georgia Tech and Miami all had chances to help or cement their chances. Only NC State and Georgia Tech helped themselves. The Hokies and Hurricanes both really needed to finish with a bang, but lost golden opportunities. Virginia Tech came…

  • And The Nominees Are …

    It’s getting close to the end of the season and time to start thinking about the all-conference teams. With eleven teams in the league now, competition for the fifteen spots on the three teams is especially fierce. At least six teams, more than half the league, are guaranteed to have no players represented on the…

  • Shrinking Bubbles

    Today’s update is a bit late, so I’ll keep it a bit brief. After my rant yesterday on the piss poor effort of the ACC’s middle tier, you should know that I wasn’t surprised at all that Duke won at Georgia Tech. In fact I even picked it. The game was pretty horrid, but I…

  • Terrapin Frustration

    See if you can spot the pattern: Maryland travels down to Duke and wins. Soon after, Maryland travels to Clemson and loses. Later, Maryland plays Duke at home and wins. Soon after, Maryland plays Clemson at home and loses. Like Barry Bonds would say, it’s like Sanford and Son.
