It was supposed to be the night when Tar Heels and Blue Devils joined hands. From what I read in the paper, Carolina fans (and players) everywhere would be cheering as hard they could for their beloved Dukies to knock off Wake Forest last night. You see, Carolina and Wake were tied at the top…

Caulton Tudor says that he thinks Wake Forest’s Taron Downey is the ACC’s best sixth man ever. Wow. I have a hard time believing that, but as I’ve thought about it all weekend I realize that I have a hard time disproving it too. I know there have been some great non-starters, but I just…

The News & Observer ran a nice, long piece this weekend on college basketball referees, focusing largely on how much they work. I really didn’t realize how many games these guys officiate, but apparently it’s common for them to work 80-100 games a year! Think about that. The guys are typically older and they are…

I almost forgot to link to this! When I read it this morning, it cracked me up. It seems that the geniuses over at the ACC headquarters weren’t just satisfied with a regular old unbalanced schedule. No sir, it’s not bad enough that teams no longer play all the other teams twice. Nope. The ACC…

Ed of the ACC Basketblog has a great post up today talking about the media’s reaction to Rashad McCant’s throat slash and whether there were racial overtones there. It is a well-written and well-reasoned piece. To me, and I think I’ve made mention of this, the throat slash is an extremely silly thing to get…

There are those who would say that ACC expansion was a mistake, that expansion has diluted a once-great product by bringing in sub-par basketball programs merely because they would improve the league’s football. The theory is that Virginia Tech and Miami (and to a lesser degree, Boston College) currently suck and have no history of…

Do you live outside of ACC country? If so, maybe you can help this guy and many others out. How do you find games on TV? Do you use ESPN Gameplan (or Full Court) or do you go to sports bars? If so, how does that work? I know that another option is to use…

Last week (or so), I linked to an article that Al Featherston had written for the Duke Basketball Report. Featherston, you may recall, was let go from the Durham Herald-Sun after they brought in new owners. Well, Featherston has written another article for the DBR, and it is a great, great piece. It’s on the…

in a red arena. Will Herb Sendek’s NC State Wolfpack take the one that leads to less travel (no NCAA bid)? Maryland’s game at the RBC center tonight is a big game for both teams. For Maryland, they see this game as a potential fulcrum on which the season hinges. A loss knocks them back…

The guys at StateFans Nation have a good conference overview up. It breaks down what various teams need to do (or not do) to make teh postseason. It also includes a whack at the first team All-ACC, a difficult task this year.
