Anyone here going?

Relative to Greensboro, how hard is it to get tickets on lower level for Thursday/Friday games? Any clue what tickets typically run? Seem high now on StubHub, but figure they'll come down if UNC/Duke/Syracuse lose.

May go up Thursday AM and Friday.

2/27/2018 10:13:29 AM

UNC and Duke won't even play until day 3. Who knows what Syracuse can do in tournament mode.

2/27/2018 6:21:26 PM

I don't think it's ever difficult to get tickets for anything before the semifinals and many times not even then depending on the teams.

2/27/2018 6:29:53 PM

I may go up

Never seems hard to find tickets

2/27/2018 6:37:33 PM

Last year the scalpers were definitely making a field day on the semifinals if I remember correctly, before that it's pretty cheap.

2/27/2018 6:55:29 PM

I’ll be there fore sure.

2/27/2018 10:30:38 PM

I will go if we make it to the finals, looks like lowers are only $180 seems reasonable

2/27/2018 11:25:39 PM

Adidas got any sweet duds this year?

Zubaz coming back?

2/28/2018 12:38:53 AM

Its bad. The barclays scalpers are pros who do it as a weekly job. they will hodl till death. they will take the tickets home before they sell them below face.

Use stubhub unless you can count on a giant fanbase (duke, cuse) leaving

2/28/2018 12:44:35 AM

The Clemson @ Cuse game is really important. I don't know what seed clemson will get, but if they lose and fall to 6th or less then we win the basketball/football aggregate as the best regular season in the conference this year.

GG Yow!

[Edited on March 1, 2018 at 12:45 AM. Reason : technically we need to win the acc championship to truly pass clemson but 2nd is already great]]

3/1/2018 2:39:44 AM

^^ virginia?

3/1/2018 8:37:55 AM

Yea i think VT, Miami, UVA and Duke all have a chance to be equal or better then us under that ridiculous metric

3/1/2018 8:57:10 AM

Bring back Opera Steve for the tournament intro song or the whole marketing team should be fired.

Representing the ACC!!!

The fuck is that?

Anyone who watches the ACC tournament on ESPN instead of the ACC Network isn't a real fan.

3/1/2018 10:20:56 AM

^That was what ESPN used as the theme music for the 2008 ACC tournament. So, at every commercial break and whenever coming back on air, some mashup of that shit played. 10 years later and that atrocity is still fresh in my mind.

3/1/2018 10:23:50 AM

^not a real fan

One should never expect to not pay through the teeth for a Duke vs. UNC game.

3/1/2018 11:34:41 AM

i guess people forgot the football standings

clemson
miami
ncsu
vt
bc
louisville
wake forest
gt

3rd and 3rd seems like it would be the best. duke and uva were too bad in football to have a chance. its between us clemson vt and i guess miami

3/1/2018 12:35:55 PM

nobody gives a fuck about this made up bullshit

3/1/2018 12:38:36 PM

well i do but only because these are the only two sports me and everyone i still talk to care about so its a matter of pride to be one of the best overall in the conference

[Edited on March 1, 2018 at 1:04 PM. Reason : i dont live in the area and dont follow other sports]

3/1/2018 1:02:00 PM

Lmao I thought you were doing WL records, this dumb metric got even more dumb somehow

3/1/2018 1:51:13 PM

^^yeah but it's still a made up bullshit thing that means nothing.

3/1/2018 2:35:41 PM

^^^And ignores how great our baseball and women's bball teams are this year. But since there's already a director's cup that takes all of that into consideration, talking about it any other way is dumb.

(By the way, we were #7 nationally in the fall standings, best in the ACC...first winter update doesn't come out until March 22)

[Edited on March 1, 2018 at 2:49 PM. Reason : -]

3/1/2018 2:47:00 PM

Making a bowl game and making the NCAA tourney in the same season is about the only football/basketball correlation that anyone other than mambagrl remotely cares about. Unless you're Florida and you win championships in both in the same year, obviously.

3/1/2018 3:05:26 PM

Besides 80% of clemson fans don't give a shit about basketball

3/1/2018 3:17:13 PM

you can]t just combine the records because that would weigh basketball more heavily (more games).

im making this up like i said as a metric for people who only follow the two biggest sports. directors cup is not for me. not everyone has to care about it. i think this is cool.

"im making this up"

we know

3/1/2018 4:27:29 PM

So guys I think we're now tied with clemson in the "football vs Olympics announcers" metric. Clemson finished ahead of us in football but we had Terry Gannon announcing the Olympics.

3/1/2018 4:56:47 PM

espn makes up stats all the time. every stat was made up at some point

3/1/2018 6:13:56 PM

Do we win the women's basketball announcers/golf+figure skating announcers combined standings?

Hope we are hitting our threes and running up the score in New York.

3/3/2018 11:36:04 PM

playing the night before allows you to get used to shooting in that gym. the teams that get byes often get off to slow starts.

3/3/2018 11:36:56 PM

^I was thinking about this, too. We live and die by rebounds and 3-pointers. An easier match-up to start things off will be good for playing one day after another because it allows for more experimentation with shots and bounces on the rims.

3/4/2018 3:44:46 AM

I had no big problems with any of the all-acc stuff. I would have put Markell on the 3rd team over OKogie for sure but that is my only gripe.

can't believe Abu didn't get 6th man of the year

3/4/2018 6:48:26 PM

Can't believe Brownell got more COY votes than Keatts.

Also, Roy should get worst coach of the year award for having 2 first team players and finishing 6th.

3/4/2018 8:46:55 PM

^Haven't you heard? They tied for the third, so they're the third best!

#ShitTarheelsSay

3/4/2018 11:56:27 PM

thats dumb anyway considering roy took a walk on and turned him into a first teamer in a league chock full of blue chip talent.

3/5/2018 12:42:28 AM

^I'm so tired of his "Luke Maye is a walk-on" bullshit.

It's a BS storyline. The kid was a 3* player and had plenty of offers, he WANTED to go to UNC because I believe his parents went there. He chose to give up full rides to be a preferred walk-on at his favorite school. Kudos to him for having the financial ability to do that, but let's not act like this kid didn't have offers and just came out of nowhere to become a solid player. He's definitely been better than expected, but this isn't any bigger of a deal than say Bradley Chubb going from a 3* to a top 5 draft pick.

Brad gets extra credit for cutting his own hair.

3/5/2018 9:17:52 AM

^^^ this is correct.

Also, isn’t this probably Clemson’s best regular season in a couple decades? I know we wanna say Keatts deserves more COY love, but I think votes for Bennett and Brownell can be justified.

3/5/2018 12:05:23 PM

I'm impressed we only got one spot on there for most improved, and we still finished third in the ACC

[Edited on March 5, 2018 at 4:56 PM. Reason : Do y'all want game threads for each ACCT game that we're not in?]
