up 23-8. All of a sudden Pitt is playing ball again. Looks like the win at Clemson ignited them again. IMO teams that have something to play for (bubble talk about Pitt) play with a lot more intensity in these things. We will have our hands full with NIT St. tonight because they want to get themselves a bid.
 
If Pitt gets this win and actually has a good win on their resume (thus not being as much of a joke) I will root for them to meet us in the finals, and make every ACC die hard angry.

My feeling also.
 
Pitt's performance today is really no surprise. They typically are a real good team in the conference tournament. It's the other tournament that they are typically not so good.

These damn unranked Big East teams are tough! Now the ACC finally experiences what we go through every year!!!

UNC back it its early-season form today.
Unc played a little better but really their schedule just got easier. They're really just not very good.
 
I can't help but smile at the prospect of half the semis potentially being old Big East teams. Part of me would like another shot at Virginia in the finals with a full(er) strength roster though.
 
I agree with Palmer - that UVA game was brutal. It'd be great to get another shot at them. (Frankly, it would be great playing either Pitt or UVA in the finals.)

we may only have 2 top 25 wins after today.
That's the dumb part of this whole thing...unc wasn't a top 25 team when we played them and likely aren't now...what they did in between is so irrelevant...
 
It's weird, it's like, I hate Pitt, but I also feel a sense of camaraderie towards them since they're the fellow new kid on the block. I honestly think it would be very cool if it was Pitt vs. SU for the title and we won. Just as a big to the ACC.
I don't want to say to the ACC - they saved us. I prefer to think of it as an affirmation of their decision to take us in. :D
 
It's not going to be a friendly handshake between Dixon and Williams at the end of this one.
Roy looks like his head is going to explode.
 
UNC has a ton of big athletic guys... that simply don't rebound. It's quite bizarre. Pitt +18 on the boards at the moment, +10 in the second half.
