yes, they are saying SU-ND...what gives?

The ACC tourney is a meaningless event in a conference with only 5 teams when the schools play each other late in the season. It’s a nice achievement for the winner, but it’s secondary to the Final 4. It’d possible that SU may need to beat ND and Carolina each twice to win the ACC and national titles.

ND is the better team. I’ll be surprised if we can beat them. They completely dominated us in the second half. We’d be in better shape if we could play the tourney in the Dome.

I think almost any top 5/7 team would be the favorite if they could play at home. They are a a veteran team, they need to turn it on starting Friday. I have significant concerns but lets see what happens.

To be fair the NA pipeline overall has dried up. Its not like there's multiple NA players SU missed out on whose killing it out there. Deere might be the best and hes been out all year

Prep schools have severely watered down the NA hotbeds. There could be talent but they're not sharpening their skills in the public school leagues because a lot of the talent is no longer there or moved on to prep. Even Deere ended up at prep, but that was just from sheer natural born talent. The late bloomer native kid is just not a thing anymore.

Chace Cogan & Jameson Bucktooth are both good enough to be on a D1 rosters and just came up in Section 3 tbf

I really have no interest in the ACC tourney. I don’t see them winning it, but if they did, it’s highly unlikely they beat Carolina and ND or Princeton in the Final 4. With this senior group, it’s national title or bust.

They're leaning towards best record against #1 seed.
