WBB: ACC Tourney

[Kfanarmy]

Looks like Duke will play BC/Wake winner if they can get past UNC Sunday. Otherwise its a rematch with GT...Is that right?

If they exit they ACC tourney in the quarters, which seems reasonable, where would they fit in the NCAA tourney?

Reasonable that Duke goes out in the quarters? LOL

Oh, maybe you're referring to GT being in the NCAA tourney?


...Also LOL

Well, Duke would have to make it *to* the ACC quarterfinals. Probably looking at a second round game against UVa, though a lot of games are left in the last weekend.

Did I misspeak...If I'm understanding seeding, Duke would have to win the first game to get to the quarters...think the quarters game would be against the three or four seed (Louisville or Cuse)...

Duke will either be the four seed with a win over UNC, and play the 5-12 winner in the quarterfinals, or the six seed with a loss and play the 11 seed in the second round.

How would they jump to a four?

Tiebreaker over Syracuse, better record than UNC.

Got it. Thanks!

I'm illiterate maybe. I missed the reference to WOMEN'S. No wonder nothing at all in this thread made sense to me. Apologies. I honestly thought you were expecting Duke's men to lose their first conf tourney game... and thus the lol'ing.

Apologies again!

No problem. I probably should have included the ref to WBB in the post.

whose idea was it to make W and M mirror images!

IDK,but it was brilliant.

IDK,but it was brilliant.

But only if you hold the mirror edge just to the top or bottom of the letters, and only then when... uh... uh... never mind, I've confused myself!

Let's fill the gym on Sunday, and help the women get that higher seed! It's Senior Day!

Elizabeth, Ka’lia, Jenna and Amber (or will she come back next year?)

All very special in very different ways

Amber (or will she come back next year?)

The Chronicle reported earlier this season that Amber intends to come back next year. Hopefully she will.

The bracket is listed here. Duke's first game is Friday at 11.

The TV announcers for today's game reported that Amber was leaving Duke after graduation, in the hopes of starting her professional basketball career. Not sure the WNBA is in her near-future, but I suppose anything's possible. I still hope she comes back, but good luck to Amber either way. She's been through a lot with all those surgeries.

Nice win today to get to the Friday bye's. Big difference.

Although now we potentially match up with Notre Dame in the semis, rather than the finals. But I do agree having the double-bye is more important.

True. But you gotta beat who you gotta beat. Let someone else take a shot at them first.
