With all the focus locally on the three ACC teams and the possibility that NC State and UNC could meet for a trip to the Final Four, it’s easy to gloss over the other upcoming NCAA games. There are several interesting games – Texas Tech and Bobby Knight vs. West Virginia, Utah vs. Kentucky and…
Ken Pomeroy does his usual excellent statistical analysis on Georgia Tech, focusing on the efficiency of Isma’il Muhammad. He makes a point that I wondered about, that Muhammad’s absence actually helped Tech during the ACC Tournament. Pomeroy also points out that the numbers back up my contention that Jarrett Jack is the most valuable member…
Those of you who are relatively new to the ACC certainly know who Dean Smith is. He’s the legendary coach from North Carolina, known not only for his Xs and Os, but for his gentlemanly manners and the love of his players. What you may not remember though is that Smith was not just one…
I’ve become Al Featherston’s marketing page! He has yet another great article at the Duke Basketball Report. This one is on the NCAA Tournament and has some great anecdotes about beat reporters and covering the tournament. He also has a section highlighting Coach K’s success at Duke (well, he is writing for a Duke site).…

Ken Pomeroy is not an ACC guy, but he has come up with the best, most original analyis of the effects of missing Rashad McCants on UNC. It turns out that in the four games he has missed, Carolina is just as effective on offense, but much less effective on defense. Pretty interesting, huh? His…
You know the drill by now. Al Featherston is in a Tiger Woods in 2000-like groove. His articles at the DBR should be required reading for all ACC fans. This one is a history of the ACC Tournament. Read it.
