Things are getting serious. Nine ACC teams have a very good chance of getting into the NCAA Tournament – although not all nine will – but only three have wrapped up bids with two weeks left. Carolina is really only playing for seeding – a one or a two – at this point. It probably…

Pardon me for a little site-related post here. Lately we’ve had some good discussions in the comments of my articles. There are a lot of intelligent, knowledgeable ACC fans reading and posting here, fans from nearly every school in the ACC. Each day, Dave Sez receives at least 500 unique visitors, some days seeing well…

It was an interesting week, that’s for sure. With Virginia Tech’s impressive win in Chapel Hill, Duke’s explosion (and BC’s implosion) in Chestnut Hill last night and Clemson and FSU damaging their NCAA chances, there was a lot going on. Each year, when we get to this point, the most interesting storylines to me are…

Duke’s been losing. Have you heard? The news has gotten so pervasive that even those college hoops agnostics in the Northeast have caught on. And this guy seems to be enjoying it. That’s a pretty inflammatory piece right there. He even gets in a few shots at NC State and Clemson. Call Duke any names…

Each year, I like to check in somewhere around the middle of the ACC season and run an analysis on the players to see who’s having the best season so far. As in the past, I’ve calculated the Prouty Rating of each player in the league who averages 10 or more minutes per game. I’ve…

One of the commonly listed items in Duke-haters checklists is that Duke and Coach Krzyzewski unethically saddled interim coach Pete Gaudet with K’s losses in 1995. This story has always seemed like a non-issue to me, because Gaudet did coach that team for two losing months, but the controversy never seems to go away. Well,…

I’m changing the name of my weekly column looking at the ACC power rankings because at this time of year, it’s all about the NCAA Tournament. Which teams are on the bubble? What seeds are the top teams headed for? As part of this, I dropped the columns that look at Ken Pomeroy’s offensive and…

[Dave: Dave Sez reader William Loeffler has emailed to me or posted in the Sports Shack some great thoughts on ACC history, so I asked if he’d be willing to write some ACC History pieces for Dave Sez. This is his first effort, and it’s an outstanding look at the most important basketball game in…

It’s been nearly a month since I did this, so I’ll be brief on a lot of the older games. Saturday, Jan. 13 N.C. State 88, Wake 74 At the time, this was one of the most surprising results of the season. It’s no secret that Wake is bad, but they got waxed by State…

Admittedly, this video is mostly from the NBA, but there is some ACC action in this outstanding collection of Vince Carter dunks. Seriously, it’s amazing. I don’t care what you think about Vince, his dunks are mind-boggling. He is without question the best in-game dunker in basketball history. If you doubt that after watching this…
