This weekend’s ACC games:
Saturday
Unc at Pitt
Cuse at VT
FSU at Miami
Clemson at NCSU
Louisville at Duke (College Gameday)
UVa at GT
Sunday
BC at Wake
I’m interested in the UVa game at GT. UVa has lost 3 straight and are on the road against a healthy GT team who has a couple good front court players to complement streaky guards who when hot, can light it up. UVa is +1 so Vegas thinks it’s basically a toss up. A 4th consecutive loss for UVa would be the first time in years for Tony Bennett’s program.
good opportunity for Capel and Pitt to further submerge unc
I just LOVE how the ESPN on-air guys keep talking about Roy’s “least gifted” comments during their broadcasts. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
edit: no pun intended, but it works!
“Coach said no 3s.” - Zion on The Block
To piggyback on Roy’s “least gifted” comments...
Was I the only one who noticed the difference in Coach K’s attitude during the Jay Bilas interview that aired during College Game Day?
I’m paraphrasing here, but when Bilas asked Coach K how he reacts after a loss (ie Clemson), he said it had changed in the last decade. He said previously, a loss was unacceptable. But in the last decade, he implied he isn’t as hard on them (presumably because many of them are so young). He said you can’t get to a point where the team thinks you don’t believe in them. Because once that happens, it’s really hard to recover.
It just struck me how opposite it was from the feeling Roy’s players must have had after his comments.
Another reason to love the GOAT!
Cool how there are no upsets of note to discuss in the “not going to jinx it” thread. Everything is according to expectations.
I predict the Cheats will beat Pitt if the panthers are held scoreless in the second half.
Pitt up 43-23 on unc at the half.
Well, it worked before:

I do like the gentleman's agreement we seem to have to ignore the Tar Heel game in the Upset Thread.
