This Week in the ACC - 2/27-3/5

[trinity79]

How the mighty have fallen. FSU used to be good! Now they are bottom feeders.
Plus, unfortunately, it looks like UNC has finally “figured it out”

Carolina in a veritable blowout at the half.

well, just remember that a certain team was ahead 40-25 at halftime of the national championship game last year and managed to choke it away . . . (ahhh, good times)

So much for this being the bright spot in a crappy Monday for me 🙄

I share your disappointment. FSU did come back from 23 down at Miami the other day…

But I can assure you they won’t be able to come back in this game. Dangit.

It’s (nearly) March and Hubert and UNC-CH are trending up. I’ve seen this movie before.

Is a 2-game winning streak "trending up" these days?

Since February 1st, UNC is 3-5, 69th in the nation according to T-Rank while shooting 27.4% from 3-point range (354th in the nation over this timeframe).

As long as it’s not a 3-game streak this time next week, I’m fine.

It’s like the switch was flipped at halftime of the ND game. UNC scored a measly 19 at the half, then went off for about 50 in the second half.
Since then, nobody has been even close to them, they are hitting over 50% on 3s….
We have to send them back to hell.

Yep. Basically, UNC has beaten up on a struggling UVa team and a bad FSU team. If they hammer Duke this weekend? Then we might revisit the idea.

Yeah, it’s looking like the cheats are gonna string together a couple of wins again. I guess Duke is gonna have to be the team to put a stop to their teeny- weeny two game streak. It’ll be an absolute pleasure to go back to Capel hill and knock them off again! As far as them turning it on again in the ncaa’s and doing a repeat of last year, well I doubt it by a lot! Just because they got hot and blew all the way to the title game a year ago, doesn’t mean they will be able to replicate that feat again. It’s SO hard to even get to the final four, much less win it all. I believe they will find it difficult to sneak up on anyone in the big tourney this year. They are nowhere near a good enough team to have what it takes, not this time!

They have to get a bid before they can try sneaking up on anyone.

Also, I hope this is the "I'm going to jinx it" thread today.

2 good wins in a row and 19-11, 11-8. Not a bad club.

no such luck today. FSU made a run, but then went back to their old ways.

Heels with the road win. Ugh.

What happened to Bacot?

[cbarry]

What happened to Bacot?

didn’t even need him tonight.

hopefully teams are on to him. Same move every time. Back down in right block, fake to the middle, spin counterclockwise for the layup.

[CameronDuke]

This is UNC-CH’s 4th road win. Duke has 3.

[gumbomoop]

FSU comeback falls short. Noles guard Green had a rough last 7-8 minutes, with 2 key TOs and 2 hero-ball misses.

Until Saturday. GTHCGTH!

Duke has 3* road wins so far.

UNC's road wins are at Louisville, Syracuse, Notre Dame, and Florida State. Hardly an impressive collection of road wins.

I sure hope so. A loss Saturday for Duke will wipe out lots of optimism I’ve had for how Duke has been playing lately.

True. To be fair, Duke’s road wins are Cuse, GT, and BC. Those are just as gross lol.
