Epic Fail for the ACC today...

except for the Orange of course.

This was no surprise. I didn't think the league would get to the second weekend this year. Boy, I hope I am wrong now.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

I’d take that trade every year

 

[skurey]

That's a real shame

How did Duke do?

How did Duke do?

Chip, they didn't make the tournament and declared that they wouldn't play in the NIT without being asked to play in the NIT

Sounds bad.

 

[CuseBBall]

Don’t worry ACC... we got this

How did Duke do?

The Econ midterms were tough, but there are plenty of opportunities for them to get their grades up.

 

[Orangemen]

How did Duke do?

Amazing.

Yeah I'm not surprised either.

Meh, I just pretend we are representing the Big East of back in the day.

 

[Col. Bleep]

Mostly mediocre teams.
And I couldn't understand why UNC was getting so much love from analysts.
They can't shot and have no backcourt.

Wisconsin and the Orange were the two best teams I saw playing today.

Ohio state and the big ten said hold out beers...

Well, the top 2 teams don't play until Sat., so there's a chance for a bit of a bounceback.

But, yeah, UNC and Clemson were not good, VTech was a bit unlucky. And GTech was really unlucky, having to play without the league MVP.

The proof in the pudding is the seed lines the ACC received--nothing better than 4.

Of course, it looks like one ACC double-digit seed was underrated.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Can‘t stand the Big 10, but was very satisfying watching Wisconsin have their way with UNC.

Going to be up to FSU and us to get to Sweet 16. I don't know what to expect from UVa and if any of their best players are out. They had no practice until today after being in quarantine for a week. Tough position to be in. Clemson and VaTech were slumping badly toward the end of season. GaTech without Wright was done. UNC was overrated and had a number of bad losses. So didn't expect much from the ACC in this tourney.

They still have a shot. Probably get a Covid invite somehow.

Agreed but if noone is out as of right now they 'should' be able to play I'd think.

This thread is premature the 2 high seeds and 2 teams who had good regular seasons didn't play today. Everyone who played other than UNC was a dog and they weren't really favored. If FSU and UVA follow us into the round of 32 only 2 of the 3 need to win for the conference to have held serve. We didn't have any 1-2 seeds.

UVA will be fine 7 days stuck in a hotel isn't 70 or they are stuck on a plane for 70 hours before the game. Its not like they aren't allowed to shoot around for an hour tomorrow morning which is all they probably need. -7 vs Ohio sure looks weird though considering they won their last NCAAT game.

I used to root for the other Big East teams (within reason). Not so for the ACC, I like that we moved on and the others lost.

Uhhh they didn’t play!
what does this even mean??!!???

That may have been the easiest 8-9 game to pick, in history.

I have always cheered against UConn and Georgetown and still plan to do tomorrow.

Agreed (hence the "within reason")
