When I first saw that four ACC teams would be playing on Sunday, I had a bad feeling. I had this ominous gnawing in my gut that things would go poorly and the ACC would lose three or four of those teams. That feeling grew even even stronger when Wake was bounced on Saturday night.…

(note: I wrote most of this Sunday morning before games were played. I’ll address today’s games, including State’s upset of UConn later.) This is gonna be a quick update, so I won’t have time to go into all the ways I’m disappointed in Wake Forest. Like I said all season, their defense just wasn’t Final…

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…

That was quite a fun first day, wasn’t it? It wasn’t chock full of upsets, but a couple double-digit teams (UWM and UAB) did advance.

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).…

Man, do I wish I were back in college. In those days, this week was always Spring Break and I could sit and watch basketball all day from Thursday through Sunday. I even remember being in Dayton Beach and sitting in my hotel room in front of the TV while everyone else was outside (of…
