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…

As I’ve written before, anything Al Featherston writes for the DBR is worth reading and his post on the Duke-UNC game is no exception. This time around, he focuses on the recent back-and-forth of who is better (UNC this year, Duke last year, etc.) and how it might play out in the future. For those…

Ken Pomeroy had an interesting post the other day, comparing the ACC to the Pac-10. Obviously, there are many ways to compare conferences, but one Ken picked was non-conference wins over top-30 (according to Ken’s ratings) teams. The ACC trounced the Pac-10 in that metric 13-5. Well, today, Ken posted a follow-up to that article…

This StateFans Nation piece on the NCAA Tournament selection process is so lengthy and thorough that I just don’t know what to say about it. They make some excellent points, but leave a lot of the conclusions, particularly applying this piece to current ACC teams, as an exercise for the reader. One point they made…
