Power House ACC Basketball?

Don't look now but ACC basketball could be just as bad as football if the ACC/Big Ten Challenge and the first couple of weeks are any proof about the future.  The ACC loses four out of six to the Big Ten last night and Duke host Ohio State a team that drubbed them in the challenge last year.  However the game is in Cameron this go round.

I honestly don't see Carolina being much more than a 20-12 type team.  I don't like what I see in their guards and missing this year is that man standing back at the goal ready to swat every shot going to the basket.  State on the other hand has played their first five and a half games like teams were suppose to lay down when they stepped on the court.  Finally the second half last night they played like I would like to see every game.  Also remember my goal for this team was to have single digit losses when the season was over so I didn't think this team was quite ready to make it to the final four.

This morning the ACC asked Louisville to join the conference and they accepted.  The ACC will have 14 full time member still when Maryland pulls out.  Heard this on the David Glenn show today that Louisville will be the first ACC member ever that is not ranked in the top 100 of academic institutions in America.

Last night Northern Nash opened it's basketball season playing at D H Conley.  The boys lost by only five and after having won only one game all  last year when they hardly ever stayed in any game as close as five points this is a really good start for them on the road and almost winning.  The girls you know are preseason Big East girls favorite and they beat Conley some where around forty points.

The Tarboro Vikings are heading to their fifth straight State Championship game Saturday in Winston Salem and the rumor mill is hot and heavy about Jeff Craddock leaving Tarboro at the end of this year. Some are saying what does he have to prove with Tarboro going 1-A next year.  I have even seen he was going to be on the Ohio State staff next year.   Let's let him win his fourth championship Saturday and then we will decide where we want him to go.
