This Week in the ACC - 12/9-12/15

Amazing. No typo or $18M+ in legal fees either in a story about the cheats. I'll never hope for injuries for the players but my tears will be very, very small and brief for their time/s off the court while still hoping they can play hoops again.

I feel bad for the kids and their families and pray for their quick recovery.

I'll shed no tears for the coaches, administrators and fans that endorse cheating kids out of an education and destroying the concept of "student" athletes in order to win games.

State hits a three with one second left too break a tie and beat UNC_Greensboro 80-77.

We were only a 1.5 pt favorite...so beat the spread on that one

UNC-G is the kind of signature win we didn't have last season.

Boozer screams “upset alert” in the immediate post-game studio commentary. Love it!

Bacot was 2-14? WOW!

ol roy coaching him up for that sophomore season at the dump.

[PackMan97]

Cheats looked good.

Please raise your hand if you thought Wofford could win shooting only 37%, out rebounded by 20 and had twice as many fouls as the cheaters...

Heels definitely looked good.

[devildeac]

Maybe this will finally knock them out of the Top 25 .

[chrishoke]

So what is the nature of Cole Anthony's injury? Foot, knee, heart?

Bacot was 2-14? WOW!

That was probably the most surprising part of the game. I watched a good portion of it. Bacot was doing just fine rebounding, contesting a few shots, even checking Wofford's guards on the perimeter here and there. He's pretty nimble on his feet for his size. But he was getting bodied inside but smaller players. One of them, Messiah Jones (what a name!), is a 6'6" freshman from Chicago. And Bacot couldn't do anything with him. Brooks had a good game at both ends of the court and clearly looked like the superior post player. If not for foul trouble and Roy's penchant for benching guys, Brooks might have had a really big game. As it was, Brooks had 17 points and 12 rebounds.

There were a lot of UNC fans talking about Bacot going 1st round after this season. I didn't see it then and certainly don't now. He doesn't possess an NBA skillset as a guy that can only score around the rim and is pretty limited defensively. He's a college big and will probably be quite good by the time he's an upperclassman. But he's not going pro unless he wants to be in the G-League or play overseas. The situation with him, Brooks, Walker Kessler, and Day'Ron Sharpe next year is going to be interesting. There's a ton of depth in the post, and Sterling Manley might be healthy enough to play, too. I wonder what the minutes distribution will be.

And NCSU is ahead of unc in KenPom...

When are these kids going to learn? Don't go to UNC and play for Roy if you want to quickly get in the NBA.

I'm wondering what the over/under is for Gonzaga players named Igor?
