ACC / NCAA Games for Nov 20-23

[Hoo's That]

Why does Virginia always get so much hype?

At least some of it is the contrast between Bennett's style of play and Odom's. Another bit is Odom's resumé. There aren't a lot of coaches who have taken 3 teams to the NCAAs. And then there's ... that game which shall not be mentioned further.

That was a helluva play for an end-of-game shot!!

Baseball throw to the tallest dude, who immediately reversed it to the shooter, who got to shoot in rhythm.

When your tall dude isn’t Christian Laettner - or Conrad McRae -
that’s a brilliant play call.

The famous Bryce Drew play. Very few ways to get a good three point shot in less than a second when inbounding from the other end of the court.

Just horrible defense by Memphis. How does the guy guarding the shooter let him catch the ball behind him. Totally asleep at the wheel. You always have to keep the ball in front of you. Great win for WF. They needed it after playing two ranked teams close but losing.

Who does Wake even have on their team? Didn’t that Gonzaga transfer graduate? I thought their offseason roster acquisition was lackluster.

247 had their transfer class 8th in the ACC, 39 overall. Their high school recruits were rated 16th in the ACC and 86th nationally. Combined they were 15th in the ACC and 73rd overall.

Not a great offseason, but still top 75 all around. I guess where you want your worst teams in the conference, so they don't drag you down too far.

Still, a nice OOC win for them over Memphis.

Not really notable names IMO. Their guard Harris is having a breakout season after an uninspiring freshman year. Colvin transferred from Purdue. He was a role player there but maybe he was just stuck behind their stud guards. Forbes seems like a good coach who has kept that team competitive despite not having top talent.

I don’t ultimately think they’ll be a top 25ish team, but they’ve shown well so far this year. Missing the huge opportunities against Michigan and Texas Tech I think they’re probably destined for another bubble type season.

Great game going on between Georgia and Clemson. 76-74 Clemson with under three minutes to go. ESPN

 

[Starman]

I thought that elbow to the mouth needed to be a flagrant.

 

[sufan59]

Good game Clemson! Kind of win that makes a big difference for the conference. Now let’s see if Virginia can figure it out against Butler down the stretch.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Big win for Clemson. Early brackets had both teams as last four in.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Clemson is very solid. Have a good scheme on offense.

Virginia did not

As noted above, Clemson beat Georgia 97-94 in OT.

And with 6 minutes left in the first half, Quinnipiac is beating Pitt 32-22.

 

[Orangezoo]

In other games Monmouth beat Robert Morris by 1 in OT, Drexel beat ODU, Bingo lost to Canisius and Miami yesterday waxed Delaware St by more than we did (97-41)

Final: Quinnipiac 83-75

Doesn’t seem like Pitt 2X will help out the net but it’s gotta be nice if we can go to Peterson and take care of biz this year.

 

[jncuse]

Thanks Pitt.
BC was also down 10 early against Tulane, but they got it back to 2

 

[cuseattle]

BC/Tulane going to overtime.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Tulane wins 93-90

 

[Sbucketball]

Good lord can someone take BC out back and shoot it.

Wow. Capel might be a dead man walking this season.

 

[Cuse_NYC]

NC ST getting smacked by the Hall lol. NC ST is wayyyy too small and has no resistance at the rim
