I have a bad feeling about ACC teams this year.

yeah it will be really interesting to see how things stack up. I get that the sample size is still tiny, but we have almost no data, so the marginal utility is still pretty big.

I request a mod change the title to ACC in the Postseason

NC State 75
Davidson 61

Just curious, does NC State lead the conference in NIT appearances?

The Virginia Tech Hokies are on the ropes vs Florida. The ACC is about to be 0-1 in the 2021 NCAA Tournament with the league’s coach of the year going one and done ...

[CameronDuke]

What a shot! Hokies hit a 3 at the buzzer!

OT!

Just hit a 3 to tie it with 1.7 seconds left. OT?

Yep what a shot. Florida absolutely blew the end of that game. 6 point lead with about a minute left, then a 5 second call after not being able to get the ball in bounded for a turnover, missed two free throws with seconds left, and then give up a 3 to the Hokies for a tie.

Virginia Tech needs to capitalize here in OT!

[CoachJ10]

some very weak calls on va tech here in OT...

Acc - meat grinder!

I hope nobody had or has any aspirations of any team in the acc going very far in the tourney this year. No team near good enough this year.

[Wahoo2000]

5 ACC teams in round of 64 action today. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. is an underdog.

That has to be some kind of record, and this HAS to be the weakest year for the ACC in decades (or maybe ever), depending on your def of "weakest". I mean, there are certainly years when we got less teams in the tournament, but never one when there seem to be absolutely ZERO teams with even a popular "darkhorse" chance to a title (or maybe even a FF).

If there are zero second weekend teams in the ACC, I won't be shocked. In fact, I'll only be shocked at 0-7 from the standpoint that at that sample size at least one win is VERY likely, regardless of quality.

Hoping that Duke and UNC (ducks) get back to their usual top 5-10ish form next year (and that UVA rejoins them), and that in the next tier of 7-8 squads, there are at least 2-3 top 30 teams.

Agreed. If any ACC team wins more than 2-3 games in the NCAAs it's *basically* a Cinderella story.

If you listen close, you can hear the 80s/90s ACC weeping for what we've become.

Ga Tech is in a dog fight. Now I know why so many people picked Loyola. Have to think Wright would have made a difference in this game. But Alvarado is trying to will them to victory.

On a related note, I am glad Josh Pastner’s flash cards made it to Indy.

Let’s go Wisconsin!

Yeah, losing Moses Wright was backbreaking. On top of being their best player, he was their only inside presence and one of a short rotation in general.

Tech could return a bunch of extra-year seniors next year. If they do, Pastner could finally make some noise.
