This Week in the ACC - 11/21-11/27

Pack’s Casey Morsell is averaging 16 ppg, shooting 55% on 3s, on 6 3 pt. att/game. Didn’t see that coming, didn’t think much about Morsell, period.

for a while there, that game featured some absolutely insane 3pt shooting. Much of it was from a big, Dick, but some Morsells also were left for NC State to make.
I was very impressed by State's play thru most of the game. They matched Kansas blow for blow. Kansas would go up by a few, State would fight back to tie it. Kansas went up 8 at the half, and State immediately came back and tied it to start the 2nd. Every time that it seemed like Kansas was gonna start pulling away, State had an answer. Up until the last couple of minutes. Maybe State coulda come back again and tied it if they had a few more minutes of game time, but in real reality (h/t Jack Kerouac) Kansas made the plays in winning time that State just couldn't match. Bummer for them, but hopefully the Pack remembers how to play with that intensity throughout the year, especially vs uNC.

But when he messes up, will the crowd be chanting "Boo" or "Boo-urns"?

No such thing as too many classic Simpsons references. Sporks!

That Bennett guy has an eye for talent, or so I'm told. ;-)

Too bad we coulldn't hang onto Morsell. It seemed like he was going to follow the Devon Hall track and be a little bit of a late bloomer. Another casualty of the "insta-transfer" era. I'm sure he won't be the last.

I almost wrecked my car laughing at this. Has he not watched any of their games this season? Beat GW by 6. C'mon, this is absurd, he thinks they can run the table.
Happy Turkey Day to all!!

That's about the level of "moron" you'd expect from someone they'd find willing to fill in on Thanksgiving Day.

to pile on a li'l bit, ESPN has an article up about why uNC is worse than you think despite having 4 of 5 starters back etc.

Yep, Cheats are absolutely pounding their opponent, much like UNLV in 90-91 seasons.

Wojo on the halftime show! I've been wondering what he's up to these days.

A 7 point win over UNC-Wilmington and 6 point win over Gardner-Webb prove just how dominant this team is. I can definitely see the similarities to that UNLV team which won by an average margin of 26.7 points.

Wojo on the halftime show! I've been wondering what he's up to these days.

It is good to see him on the halftime show on ESPN. A few days ago, I saw him on the ACCN halftime and postgame show for a Duke game alongside Chris Spatola. Wojo seemed very well spoken, articulate, and deliberate with his remarks and analysis. He seemed like a natural at this early stage of his career.

#1 UNC-CH leads Portland 40-38 at the half in the Phil Knight Invitational.

" Sail with the Pilots..."

[CameronDuke]

Portland is leading #1 UNC-CH 53-48 with 16:12 left in the game.

[CameronDuke]

Portland leads #1 UNC-CH 62-58 with 11:42 left.

The West Coast Conference doesn’t want to hear anything from the ACC about strength of conference for a really long time!

[CameronDuke]

Portland is tied with #1 UNC-CH 69-69 at the under 8 media timeout.

[duketaylor]

Tied with 7:30 to go.

[duketaylor]

Bacot misses 2 FTs, unc just dominating

[duketaylor]

Terrible foul call there.

[CameronDuke]

76-75 UNC-CH over Portland with 3:37 left. Bacot shooting two free throws after the break. Anyone’s game!

[Mtn.Devil.91.92.01.10.15]

UNC salting it away.

[PackMan97]

Yep, Cheats are absolutely pounding their opponent, much like UNLV in 90-91 seasons.

If UNC is the 91 UNLV team,I would think you would be happy with a repeat of the 91 NCAAT.
