just printed out my bracket and I'm filling it out.

I started to pick us in the first round, but then I remembered who plays for Maryland.

Jordan Williams
Terrell Stoglin

UNC vs. Dook seems inevitable, IMO. i think Clemson has a good shot at beating UNC if they get past BC, but ultimately UNC is just playing way too well right now.

3/7/2011 10:34:34 AM

I really hope someone can knock off UNC. I know they're playing really well right now. I just don't want UNC to win the reg. season AND the tourney.

3/7/2011 11:36:46 AM

Well, we know huckleberry doesn't put too much weight in the "cocktail" party, so it wouldn't be surprising to see them throttle back and go out early....although they could theoretically play their way into a #1 seed, so they might actually have something to play for this year.

I also wouldn't be surprised to see duke go out early...They've looked tired over the last few games and could use the rest going into the dance.

3/7/2011 11:47:41 AM

Yeah, but Coach K loves ACC basketball and loves the tourney. They're almost always a good ACC tourney team. They've made it to the championship game ten of the last twelve years, and have won 9 of them.

carolina ranked up to #6.

what a joke

3/7/2011 1:27:10 PM

I just heard that

#6/7 in the two top 25 polls, Duke is still #5 which is strange too. I would think if they were ranked so closely, and with UNC winning the ACC reg. season crown they would be ranked higher than Duke

3/7/2011 1:31:53 PM

if UNC wins it...i reckon they can potentially snag a #1 seed in the NCAA?

3/7/2011 1:59:26 PM

i had a UNC friend that was guaranteeing they get a #1 if they win the ACC

i bet him $10 that if they did, they wouldn't. i just don't get how they would. the ACC sucks.

it'll really depend on what pitt and notre dame do in the big east tournament i think. ohio state and kansas are locks, with pitt, nd, sdsu, byu, dook, and unc in the hunt for the last two spots. byu i think is probably out, because they just lost at home to new mexico. pitt and nd are probably equally deserving of one, but will the committee give two #1s to the big east?

3/7/2011 5:13:59 PM

^they would. they gave the big east 3 #1 seeds 2 years ago.

3/7/2011 8:29:07 PM

if UNC does win the ACCT i better not be losing $10. i really don't think there's any way they get a #1 if the NCAA really does take the whole season into account

[Edited on March 7, 2011 at 11:05 PM. Reason : not this "last team to lose a game" method the AP/USA Today does]

3/7/2011 11:05:01 PM

why do UNC fans over the age of 12 do the "Dook" thing? I could never see myself saying something as lame as Tar Holes or whatever the equivalent is

3/7/2011 11:15:06 PM

if UNC wins out, I have no idea how anyone could have a problem with them being a #1 seed

3/7/2011 11:20:19 PM

meh. hopefully they'll just lose in the quarters, somehow

Jay Bilas made a good point on twitter the other day. He was talking about how the committee should just consider everything up to the conference tournament, but not the tournament itself. As he says, "No mid-major can really help itself, and underperforming majors don't need another break."

we're down to both Duke and UNC by like 165,000 to 45,000.

Don't waste your time. Last year, or a few years ago NCSU had a huge lead. There was no way Duke or UNC could catch up. Then WRAL just reset the scores and UNC/Duke built up large leads really, really quickly.

That's because mid-majors play low-RPI teams in their tournaments. ACC teams don't.

3/10/2011 12:28:02 PM

yeah even if you don't win the tourney, if you can beat 3 teams in the big east or acc in 3 days you deserve the boost

3/10/2011 12:35:26 PM

can anyone get that stream above to work? The connection keeps timing out on me.

3/10/2011 12:59:49 PM

^^^ I'm glad it's not just me.
I guess that's one reason to be glad the game tonight will be on ESPN. It's been a long time (and a few versions) since ESPN3's timed out on me.

I busted my ass from 8-11:59 am and now I'm watching the UCONN/Pitt game on espn3.com at work. The 3rd round of the Big East tourney >>> 1st round of the ACC tourney. I might watch the 2nd ACC game

tournament time is my favorite time of year. I LOVE watching streaming games on my phone while working. The only other thing that compares is listening to The Masters golf tourney stream at work

3/10/2011 1:21:45 PM

^ reminder: 2nd ACC game has Wake playing in it

wouldn't waste my time

3/10/2011 1:30:39 PM

shit, I forgot the 8/9 matchup was first, for some reason I thought it was on later and that the 5/12 game was first

oh well, this uconn/pitt game is good

3/10/2011 1:32:27 PM

2-point game with only 5 1/2 mins to go

I would say "good ACC basketball" but the score is 41-39

3/10/2011 1:38:53 PM

Anyone who didn't got to Miami or UVA who is watching this over the UCONN game is fucked in the head

3/10/2011 1:48:42 PM

nice 28.6% FG shooting Miami

3/10/2011 1:50:51 PM

epic chokejob possibly?

yeah even if you're watching the big east you may want to get in on the end of this one
