We just might be the only acc team ranked if things keep moving the way they are with unc and duke.
 
Maybe Wake is really good...:( Only positive is the there must be a winner in ACC games.

sPitt may be jumping into top 25 soon.

Duke will stay in rankings, though I think the UNC will be in and out. Who knows about the rest of the league, not a very strong league.
 
Both Wake and UNC are playing very well.
 
Oh, UNC, how you recruit so good but play so bad all the time?

Because Roy Williams sucks! Overrated! Told you guys a few weeks ago.

He has the highest winning percentage among active coaches, is in the Hall of Fame, and has two national titles in the last decade. If that is overrated then I'll take an "overrated" coach all day.

At the end of the day the coach can't make shots for the players. He develops a game plan, but it is on the players to execute it.

But, like I said, welcome to the ACC. There are plenty of What losses to go around in this league. You almost got your first one this weekend.

No he doesnt have the highest active winning %. You argued the same measly points last time. I get it youre a UNC fan. You had enough What loses this year for the next 3.

Werent you the one who claimed unc would be unbeatable if they could just hit their free throws? Whats your newest excuse for why they lost today?

I don't count this one as a What loss. It isn't like Wake played out of their minds. Carolina just played terribly for pretty much the entire game. If you lay an egg and can't make a shot, it shouldn't be too surprising when a big fat "L" is the end result. This team can be good when it wants to be...but it just doesn't have the charisma that a good UNC team usually has. I don't think anyone really understands this team-including the players and the coaches.

Unbeatable? No. Undefeated? Yes, I posted a stat that the ESPN commentator mentioned during one of our games (something like 54 missed free throws in 2 home losses by a combined 6 or 9 points or something). No one is unbeatable. No "excuse" for today...if you play like crap, you don't deserve to win.

Are you gonna blame this loss on missed ft's again like you did every other loss?

Roy Williams cant handle adversity. Issues with players eligibility or injuries throw him off. Young talented teams throw him off. The only teams at UNC that have been elite were laden with upper class players that stayed at UNC one year longer before jumping. The talent has to become so experienced so it can overcome Roy.

Classic Roy Williams was when Kendall Marshall was injured in the 2012 NCAA tourney. He had to put in a scrub point guard -- but with a lot of experienced talent (Henson, Barnes, Zeller) he should have been able to come up with a plan. He could not. Instead when the game was getting away with a minute left, he freaks out at the scrub point guard during a timeout, and hangs him out to dry..

Leaving the scrubs out to hang though is typical Roy. Lets not forget how he left his walk-ons to handle the court rushing earlier that year in Florida St, while the schollies and the coaching staff bolted.

No one is immune to the What loss in the ACC. You will get yours soon enough. It happens to the best of the best.

Hard to miss FT's when you don't shoot any. Carolina lost this game because it played like crap. If you don't understand that, I don't know what else to tell you.
 
You know since the 2008-2009 season home game versus Cleveland State buzzer beat from half court. I can thing of 1 What loss Syracuse has had since then (We know Syracuse basketball has owned it in Non-Conference) I believe the only loss Neutral Site (MSG during 2012-2013 vs Temple) and in conference play 1 2010-2011 season home game versus Seton Hall (98-70) i still can't figure that game out.

Main point What What losses ?

Not recently obviously. I'll spare all of our painful memories by not listing all the ones from the past.

The was your motive for every other loss , thought you might stick with it.
