it's pretty insane that the ACC got 3 of the 1 seeds

[orangehomer]

and we played 6 games against them? 6 games out of 33, nearly 20% of our games were against 1 seeds. is that right? 1-5 but how many teams would be better than that

 

[HoustonCuse]

It was only 5 games and those games were proof that we suck, as I recall.

Except we were competitive in all but 1.

 

[orangehomer]

i was wrong, we played duke 3 times and unc and virginia once each.

still pretty nuts to have 5 games out of 33 against 1 seeds.

 

[SWC75]

If we play Gonzaga, we will have played all four. That's 6 in 35. And the Virginia game was competitive until they made 10 straight three pointers. I'll bet we could be competitive with Gonzaga, as well.

 

[BuffOrange]

I guess. A lot of teams could also go 5-0 vs BC/Pitt and get blown out by the 2nd tier FSU & Va Tech.

second place is the first loser.

 

[Funk Doc]

Yeah, kind of hides the fact that the ACC was very top heavy this year.

I didn't realize competitive means as long as you hang in there for half the game and then they have their way with you.

Is it that the ACC was, in fact, very top heavy this year, or did it only appear to be top heavy because the top teams kept beating the lesser teams?

Not doing the work but what were the records of the top 5 against the middle 5 then bottom 5. Same for the middle 5. And suspecting it'll show why they were top 5 and middle 5

When you have 18 games and don’t play round robin, seems like there is little impact.

 

[orangenauburn]

We will see this week where the ACC stands

I'd say 5 of 16 is reasonable.

we were competitive at unc the whole game. battle missed an easy shot and chukwu missed a tip in with a minute left that would have cut it to 3.

duke in acc tourny was without our best player and game was tied with 12 minutes left, id call that competitive.
