And the stronger teams always complained about getting less rest before their Thursday game in the big tourney.
I do not like the new schedule, but it's whatever. It's gonna be different cause of all the new teams anyway. 3/10/2015 7:29:04 PM |

^ I agree. I know I sound like an old fart. But I like the tourney ending on Sunday. And I like it being in Greensboro. The fact that it no longer ends on Sunday and won't be in Greensboro for a long time makes me sad
Unrelated: I am stupid and trying to figure out how the tourney would've worked with Cuse eligible. Are there then 3 Tuesday games? 3/10/2015 7:55:50 PM |

Sounds like there were two good games today, wish I could have seen them. I am from Greensboro although I live in the Raleigh area since college and I hate to see the tournament most likely leaving Greensboro. And I highly doubt that the four teams that played today during a work day will draw a big crowd in New York City, but we will see. 3/10/2015 10:20:48 PM |

Yeah I hate being able to go to the games on a day trip.
How does this affect you if you are watching on TV?

With the Big East no more, ACC gets the slot they had before, across the entire tournament, including the final. Prime territory. Selection committee has nothing to do with it... all about TV $$$3/10/2015 11:48:10 PM |

I'm fine with the new schedule as long as teachers still let their students watch the games.
I don't care that it's 4 school days now instead of 1 like it was when I was in school. 3/11/2015 7:15:39 AM |

historically speaking... given that at least one or two prior ACCT games go longer than planned on a given day - how likely is it that NCSU/PITT starts later than 7pm? 3/11/2015 7:52:11 AM |

0%, because the game before it will be over by 430 or 5.

I wouldn't mind purchasing semifinal and final day tickets to the one in Brooklyn. I couldn't justify spending an entire NY trip just to watch basketball, but I think I could get three games out of it. But with my luck, we'd lose in the first round. 3/11/2015 8:37:25 AM |

I could justify a trip to New York for basketball. But I couldn't justify spending four days of a NYC trip on basketball, especially when I've never been. But take a four day trip, and depending on what our seed is, spend 2 days sight seeing, and two days watching the games. Would be doable.
Good thing about GSO or Charlotte is you go there and you watch the games, you don't feel like you need to stop by and see the white house or something. 3/11/2015 9:29:24 AM |

I guess I should have elaborated so dumbasses wouldn't get confused.
I like to watch the entire ACC tournament. I watched both games yesterday and will watch all of the games today. I've only been to the tournament a couple times when I was younger, but I went to the entire thing...I love ACC basketball.
My initial thought of going to NY to go to the ACC tournament was, "That would be awesome, but spending the majority of my trip watching 4 days of ACC basketball would seem like a waste of a trip to NY."
So if I could go and just watch the last two days and spend the rest of the time doing other shit, then it would be a doable trip. That wouldn't be easy for me, because I would hate to miss out on State's first game or two, but it's the only way I could justify the trip.3/11/2015 10:02:21 AM |

I believe what he's saying is that during ACC Tournament, there's nothing he'd rather do than watch the ACC Tournament, which I agree with. Which is feasible in GSO or Charlotte. It's not feasible in NYC.
He's not saying he'd plan a trip to NYC during non-ACCT and watch crappy basketball instead of sight seeing. 3/11/2015 10:22:27 AM |

so...will Greensboro's economy turn to shit with the move? 3/11/2015 10:55:30 AM |
Beethoven All American 4080 Posts user info edit post |
It won't turn to shit, but it will lose $25 million in revenue per year. There is nothing else that brings in as much money. I would count on a few restaurants near the Coliseum to go out of business.

Bubble Guts = Ryan Harrow
The reference is from when he would sit out of big games due to a stomach ache (nerves). Transferred from NCSU to Georgia State after Syndey Lowe was fired. 3/11/2015 1:01:00 PM |
jbrick83 All American 23447 Posts user info edit post |
I watched both. This game just has better defense. FSU is shotting 47% and Clemson is almost shooting 40%...which is pretty good for them. Obviously this game could be more exciting...but it's above expectations for two shitty teams where defense is their MO.
Lowers your expectations guys. This wasn't going to be a barn burner. Just look for a close game and hope the teams shoot higher than 35%. 3/11/2015 1:01:13 PM |

^^ minus the part where he was at Kentucky for 2 years
I have no idea who's calling the game, but I was listening to Clemson/FSU on 99.9 and after someone got fouled and went to the line for two shots, one of them said "he'll have to get two points the old-fashioned way." made me wonder if he understood why the and-1 is called the old-fashioned three-point play or if he just heard the term before and was trying to apply it without knowing what he was talking about. 3/11/2015 1:06:33 PM |
