Message: [QUOTE="Ward, post: 220636, member: 1958"] I think going to the ACC is going to help us quite a bit. Our past teams have always excelled at getting out in transition. Big East teams have played us tough because they all slow it down and really muck everything up and make it a half court game. They know they have to play that slow down grind it out style, which a lot of big east teams use. ACC teams all like to get out and run. Pair this preferred style with the fact that besides UNC and Duke the ACC teams just aren't as good as the big east and I think we'll adapt pretty well. Boeheim is already quoted as saying if anything it's helped recruiting, we're on a roll already recruiting wise, and what better way to establish ourselves as that tip top echelon program than beating Duke or UNC every year. While I hate leaving the big east as I grew up loving the great rivalries, I think long term the move can take our program to another level because of these variables. [/QUOTE]
