“Those two kids, they’re champions,” Krzyzewski said of his senior leaders. “They’re trying to teach the other kids how to become that, and it’s a long road to become that.”
The schedule today illustrates that this is really an 8-9 team conference this year. Teams 10-15 are really bad. Miami is winning by 3 despite Chris Lykes (aka, their entire offense) with 3 fouls and Izundu (aka their only interior presence) with 2.
Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but there's been a lot of talk on social media about this being the last year of Raycom (and Jefferson Pilot) televising the ACCT. That's some real nostalgia, remembering the feeling of pure glee when the grade school teacher would wheel the tube TV strapped to the cart into the classroom in the middle of the day to watch the early tournament games. Ah, times were simpler back then. /wistful sigh
Well that was an interesting 1st half. The most excitement was the testy exchange at the end of the half between Dan Dakich and his broadcasting partner. Dakich decided to take a pot shot at the Miami coach saying, he gets paid to overcome the manpower shortage and after some back and forth with his partner he stated that he had to do it at Bowling Green. To which his partner responded, and that's why your here in the booth with me.
I feel like I'm going crazy. All of these charges seem like blocks to me.

Who gets fired by Wake first? Manning or the Volleyball coach?

I dunno. They could chuck him because he sucks at coaching, too.

I'm fairly new to the Raycom phenomenon, but will soak in hearing Brando and G Man in particular this week. Watching as much as possible; caught Wake-Miami and am monitoring Ga Tech-domers. Will NOT watch espn. Surprised to see G Man will not be doing games for CBS in NCAA. Boo!!!!

With the possible exception of ND/GT, today’s basketball is a great argument for a top eight ACC tournament only.
Yes, I know, never happen.
This has been some of the most painful basketball I’ve watched this season.
ehhhh... the 9 seed won't be that bad every year, though. i recall one team that won their conference tournament from the first day and then went on to win the title... and there are years when the 9 team in the conference is still a really good team.
i would put my limit at 12... then you get the bye as a reward.
is be even more of a fan of promotion and relegation, but that's tougher with the turnover in college sports
