With all these good roasts of Marquette, is there any concern they read this site and it will be bulletin board material for them? I hope we don’t inspire them with our insults

When referring to excrement, isn't it doo doo? Unless the nickname means Marquette is going to "do poorly”

You know, the 2 times a year I even type "do-do" I never wondered "is it 'doo-doo' ", but truthfully doo-doo does seem more correct, fecally speakng

3/24/2024 9:09:18 PM

Do do is a bird

3/24/2024 9:29:02 PM

There is a bird named do-do. Fair point

NC State is the only double digit seed to advance to Round of 16.

^^Mo will be fine. I'm sure of it.

3/25/2024 10:59:44 AM

i just don't understand how anyone can do that

3/25/2024 11:11:51 AM

Not much shocking here, womder how it would look if they did postseason only

3/25/2024 11:13:19 AM

Yea thats pretty shitty. I too would love to see just ACC Tourney/NCAA stats

3/25/2024 11:19:47 AM

I think the scale of the graph makes it look worse than it really is

Huh?

Local game time is 7:09. Local sunset time is 7:44. Not sure why you used 2 different time zones for two events. Still, gonna be rough on Diarra.

3/26/2024 11:30:21 AM

The game is in Dallas

Game starts at 6pm (7pm ET) Dallas time. Sunset in Dallas is at 745 dallas time (845 et)

3/26/2024 11:48:45 AM

Does he have to literally wait for sunset? Its not super bright at 7pm central time(8et)

3/26/2024 7:41:04 PM

6:09pm CT
How long is 1 half + commercials? Sunset at 7:46pm CT.
He'll probably carb load at the under 16 minute timeout in the second half and be ready to finish.

3/26/2024 7:54:32 PM

Y'all act like the human body can't cope with minor fueling schedule disruptions. I have a gap of not eating or drinking anything for 8-12 hours per night, and yet I manage to survive. Try fasting sometime. It's not that big a deal.

3/26/2024 7:58:40 PM

almost got me with a reply, but I now realize you are being sarcastic

3/26/2024 8:42:32 PM

In no way did I indicate that Diarra's game would suffer because of fasting. I was simply making timeline predictions based on information that I found about sunsets. I think he will have fasted for 18 days before Friday's game. The human body is pretty incredible and holds up quite well to abuse, especially for an in shape 23 year old.

His performance may or may not be affected but at minimum it will absolutely be harder for him.

More typically the former. Weekend could be 12 or more.

"No. 15 NC State Wolfpack NO. 11 SEED | SOUTH REGION Round of 64: def. No. 6 Texas Tech 80-67 Round of 32: def. No. 14 Oakland 79-73 (OT) Sweet 16 opponent: No. 2 Marquette (Friday, 7 p.m. ET) Thanks to "Miracle Mike," the impossible ride of the Wolfpack continues. Michael O'Connell's banked 3-pointer to take the team to overtime against Virginia in the ACC tournament semifinal not only saved the season, it extended one of the great postseason runs in NCAA history. The headliner is DJ Burns Jr., the offensive lineman with Baryshnikov's feet. I have been asked several times how Burns was not this effective during the regular season. He was, but his teammates were not. Since the start of the ACC tournament, O'Connell has been a double-figure scorer and more aggressive option, Mohamed Diarra has been a rebounding and defensive machine, and Casey Morsell has been a stopper and a reliable scoring option. Burns is a tough decision on doubling. He catches it far off the lane and backs his defender down. It is a long distance to bring a double-team, and he is a terrific passer who is now passing to more capable and dangerous teammates. I keep waiting for mental and physical fatigue to show in NC State, but it hasn't shown yet. Marquette presents a challenge with its turnover-forcing pressure defense. But NC State can impact the glass, where Marquette can have issues..."

A half-ass NCSU fan should know all of that already.

3/27/2024 4:52:18 PM

Yea, I was more interested in what was after the pay wall. but ok.

3/27/2024 5:30:06 PM

DJB was in fact NOT this effective much of the regular season, but more importantly I'm surprised Bilas got through a whole paragraph without saying Burns committed a foul.

Speaking of clowns. Seth Davis is very clownish on Twitter today.

You’re not allowed to criticize NET unless you have a solution. lol.

"The ACC is still a good league, but it's top heavy. That's the issue when it comes to the number of bids. The league has performed VERY well in this tourney, and should be celebrated for that. But using tourney results to re-litigate the committee's work is folly."

Top heavy is the last way I’d describe the ACC. The ACC isn’t top heavy at all. Based on the regular season, it has one national title contender. 1 top 15 team. And then like 9 very middle of the road teams. And 1 bottom feeder. It’s too “middle heavy” if anything. Other than UL (and by season’s end Miami had clearly given up too), anybody was capable of beating anybody in the conference. GT beat Duke and UNC! 3 games separated 4th place from 10th place!

I’m not saying the ACC is the best conference. But it’s clearly better than it was given credit for. I don’t even give a shit about conference pride. It’s just wild to see all the national people continuing to defend their position about the ACC being so bad

3/27/2024 7:23:06 PM

Can't believe 2 guys who went to Duke are both clowns!

3/27/2024 7:49:31 PM

^^^^^^lol!

3/27/2024 7:52:25 PM

the "top heavy" argument is funny. They weren't callin the ACC "top heavy" throughout the regular season. I guess Clemson and State are part of the top of the conference.

3/27/2024 8:44:05 PM

I was legit hoping this run would cause a TWW revival and I’d arrive to thousands of alumni posting about the Pack.

Saw this stat the other day about the ACC and tournament success:

“For the 13th time, the ACC puts 4 teams into the Sweet 16!

No other conference has done it more than 5 times. All other conferences have done it 19 times combined.”

3/28/2024 5:21:39 PM

^13 is an unlucky number. ACC is clearly trash.

3/28/2024 8:43:44 PM

What are tickets going for now? Any lower prices yet?

3/28/2024 9:28:07 PM

Join the queue. The other day I saw tickets from $200 to $4,000. Although it did say the $4k was a resell.
