After impressively missing on three of my four predictions yesterday, I’m sure you all can’t wait to see what I can get wrong today. In my defense, I nearly had the courage to pick Wake Forest to upset Florida State. Unfortunately, I have no more heart than the Seminoles and went with the chalk. The…

One of my Dave Sez readers sent in a lengthy and thoughtful email on the new structure of the ACC Tournament. His points center around how the new larger tournament makes it harder for all of the teams, including those at the top, to win. With more teams comes more likelihood for unexpected results, which…

How weird is it that there are four games on Thursday? It just doesn’t seem right. It was mildly odd way back when Florida State joined the league and they had to add the one bastard child Thursday night game. Being the lone game made it stick out like a sore thumb, kind of like…

As I promised yesterday, I calculated the final regular season Prouty ratings for all ACC players. As I expected, the Prouties accurately picked four of the five first-team All-ACC performers. The one exception is Sean Singletary, who comes in 15th in Prouty, but the ratings don’t take into account leadership, toughness or offensive burden, other…

As you’ve probably seen by now, the ACC released it’s 2006 All-ACC Basketball teams today. The list is pretty solid and looks pretty close to what I expected.

02/28/06 Boston College 80, Wake Forest 65 – Chestnut Hill, Mass. Clinical. Predictable. 03/01/06 Clemson 86, Virginia Tech 81 – Blacksburg, Va. Don’t look now, but the Tigers seem to be finishing quite strongly. Road ACC wins are always something to be proud of, particularly for a team that had a pretty recent five game…

That article I linked to a few minutes ago was part of a series of excerpts that Inside Carolina is running about the soon-to-be-released book To Hate Like This Is To Be Happy Forever, by Will Blythe. Evidently, Blythe has a number of short pieces that he couldn’t fit into the book and so he’s…

Inside Carolina has an interesting article looking back Coach Krzyzewski’s infamous tirade against the Duke Chronicle editors. Of course, you have to consider the source here – the author is an unabashed Carolina fan and this was printed in IC. That said, much of the content of the article is direct quotes from the Chronicle…
