Parity rules in the ACC.
Brandon Costner is going to be a force in the ACC next year. This kid is only a freshman and he was the biggest offensive force in the tournamnent. State may be losing Atsur, but they have a guy they can build their offense around next year.
Parity rules in the ACC.
Agreed. The ACC will be ubertough for the foreseeable future. Uva and VaTech will fade a bit, but Ga Tech and NC State will be there to take their place. I have to imagine that Wake will steadily improve, too. Not sure about BC.
No easy conference games for many years to come. Would we want it any way else?
Depth is over rated. So I hope it doesn't raise its ugly head again when talking about our team.
Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!

Seeing Lawson's dunk with 1 second left I remind myself that they will see each other next year.
Oh that made me so mad, I threw my (empty) water bottle at the TV! It had to be the least 'basketball-aware' (and IMHO, sleazy) play I've seen this year.
My non-sporting husband just couldn't understand it... then again, bless his heart, he's only just now figuring out that there's a difference between the tournament this weekend and the one next weekend.
State will be tough next year. I agree that Costner will be a monster that Lowe can build a contender around. Losing Atsur to graduation is a big blow, but the rest of the rotation is returning and Lowe has six incoming players. Two are transfers and four are Freshmen. Of the six newbies, three are guards. One true point guard and two combo guards.
There is an article, by Thad Mumau, in the recruiting section.

Agreed, Bob. I came away from this tournament extremely impressed with the grit and toughness Sidney Lowe has instilled in this team, and not just because they beat Duke. To beat us, UVA, VTech, and then give UNC a game on 4 consecutive days has to have Pack fans excited about the direction of their program. Lowe looks like a real winner and being an NBA assistant coach for so many years can only help as he develops his recruiting pitch. As a Duke fan, I look for State to become increasingly strong over the next few years. Job well done.

I came away from this tournament extremely impressed with the grit and toughness Herb Sendek has instilled in this team, and not just because they beat Duke. To beat us, Georgia Tech, Maryland, and then give UNC a game on 4 consecutive days has to have Pack fans excited about the direction of their program. Sendek looks like a real winner and being an assisstant to NBA coach Rick Pitino at Providence and Kentucky for so many years can only help as he develops his recruiting pitch. As a Duke fan, I look for State to become increasingly strong over the next few years. Job well done.

3 ... of something...
Well, it was more than one thing...
1. Our offense is sometimes painful to watch compared to other teams. We hesitate or seem role confined on offense.
2. Sidney Lowe is a good coach. It'll be interesting to see how he manages more "talent" next year.
