SEC and B1G have used their football to craft Power Two basketball conference. This year is ACC's last chance to prove we are basketball superior. But ACC has failed. Alabama proves themselves are better than UNC and Clemson. SEC's domination will be more obvious from forwards.
Either the computer running NET has bad AI or it takes bribes from SEC/B1G/NBC/Fox alliance as the primary enemy of the alliance is ACC/ESPN. Fox and NBC want to take apart ACC and take a few good piece to enhance their lineup. But first the alliance needs to talk down ACC as much as possible...
BC beating Providence tells us that ACC is underrated and Big East is overrated. Thanks God NCAA committee did not send six teams to tournament as projected.
Syracuse is pseudo state flagship of New York.
But withdrawn from AAU is a big mistake. Hope we increase spending on research and re-apply back to AAU.
Also I believe SU has righted the ship on football with the new coach. Expect football be competitive again.
But SEC and B1G are using their football advantage to gain advantages on basketball. Soon SEC and B1G will gain advantage on all fronts like in academics. They will have better athletes and better students. It already showed in recent years that ACC no longer has dominating power on basketball...
But ACC did well in the past five years even NET showed the conference is in down years. So to be safe, the committee does offer ACC five bids as usual. I think five is the minimal number for ACC.
Clemson do finish the 6th place on ACC standing. I think Pitt(4th place) is more qualified than Clemson. I think Clemson is better in the eyes of committee because it has two wins against SEC schools while other ACC seldom played SEC schools.
Clemson has all computer ratings and NET at lower 30's. They should be in. All you have to do is to beat the mighty Alabama, then their NET stayed high no matter how many games they lost.
If NC state wins today, it will take Pitt's place. I think we would have been bump out of NCAA tournament if we reached ACC tournament final but did not win the championship. Too many teams steal bubble teams' place this year.
What if NC State(beating Duke) win over Pitt(beating UNC) on the championship game. Also Oregon won PAC12. Does 6 quad one win Syracuse deserves to be in NCAA tournament?
I am not upset. The season went better than I expected when it began. We are a young team and has no center. Reaching 20 wins is a miracle. Hope SU can have some more wins in NIT. We finished 7th place in ACC and should win an invitation to NIT.
No problem for me. When I had problems with my cable, it is normally hand-shaking problem. Try unplug and plug back HDMI cable first. Then if not fixing your problem, power off then power on your device.
I think fifth seed Wake Forest is screwed. Both Notre Dame and GA Tech become much better near the end of them. Either can beat Syracuse, Clemson and Wake. And Wake got the draw to play the winner of Notre Dame and GA Tech, the two dangerous low seed teams in this tournament.
Flip fell down and Duke was about to face 5 vs 4. He had to slow that guy down and it is the straightforward thing to do in Flip's condition. I fall, you fall.
