Does anyone know the lowest an ACC team has finished in a single season on Kenpom? Louisville is currently 204. Would that be an ACC record if they were to finish that low?

Pitt was #227 in 218. The UNC 2002 team was #137 surprisingly.

It's the CaroLLLLina way!

I am guessing that both Pitt and BC have finished worse. But it would be on the short list of worse seasons ever in the ACC.

That’s right. I forgot about Pitt in 17-18. That was the final season for Kevin Stallings. They were 8-24, and 0-18. I think Louisville may surpass Pitt’s ACC win total of 0 that year, but I’m not convinced they’ll surpass Pitt’s overall win total of 8 from that season.

4th straight loss, yikes!

Didn't watch the game, but a couple items of interest from the boxscore:

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...meId/401488393

Caleb Love took "only" 10 shots, so I suspect he was under orders not to be a gunner.

Didn't seem to help team ball movement very much, since the Heels again had a small number of assists -- 6 in this case, compared to 16 for the Hokies.

LOLLLL!

UNCheat has been horrible shooting the 3 this year, even worse than us. But of course Caleb Love will hit them all in the two Duke games.

LLLOLLLL!

Fixed my post, first to honor UNC Football and second to honor basketball.

3 straight losses for UNC in Football and 4 straight losses in Basketball

Classes ended Nov. 30; Exams beginning Dec. 2

Could these losses be connected to the academic demands for student-athletes?

It's understandable, because they aren't used to it.

Academic demands for UNC students? You guys crack me up sometimes 8-)

To be fair, the Heels were missing Bacot in that game. Not that it makes their predicament any less enjoyable , but he probably would have make a substantive difference in their team yesterday given how little depth they have (and their complete lack of big man depth).

Key win for VT though. They appear to have a good thing brewing.

Yes, not having Bacot certainly didn’t help the cheats. But that should be a warning to ol’ Hubie that his team is wafer thin on having an answer for a key player going down with an injury. Even though those cheats are losing right now, and by the way, I am really enjoying it, I know that the season is young. That means the heels will eventually pull out of their losing streak and become their usual threat to win the acc and advance far in the ncaa’s. Here’s hoping though, that they fall on their faces this season.

i try not to follow uNC very much, but i did look at the box score and notice Bacot's absence. Then i looked some more and noticed how truly dreadful their bench is, although in the most recent game the bench did score 16 pts on 6-12 FGs which is decent. Dontrez Styles? Seth Trimble? Tyler Nickel? D'Marco Dunn (who joined Bacot in not playing)? Those guys TOTAL production per game averages 8.1 ppg. Granted, Puff Johnson got eleveated into the starting lineup due to Bacot's absence, but he's only averaging 4.7 ppg.
Maybe uNC didn't recruit very well for this year due to so many upperclassmen staying around/going un-drafted, but the cupboard looks very bare.
