I hope you didn't try to endure the Louisviile - Miami game on Saturday and then turned around and tried to watch the Virginia -Florida State game Sunday night. If you are proud to call yourself an ACC fan the brand of basketball in those two games makes the 12-10 State-Duke ACC tournament game of the sixties had more offensive action. Those of you that remember the 7-0 at the half Duke - Carolina game in the 70's that finished up 47-40 had more offense in the final half over both those games this weekend combined.
Virginia's close to the vest offense is only saved by a defense that shut Florida State down even when Virginia had a starter missing when the game started. Lost two with ten minutes left over two heads colliding and Still Florida State couldn't whip a depleted team. FSU is still hoping to make the NCAA's. Who's kidding who.
Yet it seems when you get past the top three there seems to be a whole conference full of kidders who think they ought to be in NCAA's. FSU and Clemsom are 7-8. Pitt., NC State, Miami are all 7-7 and each can give you reasons why they should be in. Syracuse 8-6 but trying to stave off the NCAA infractions committee by bowing out of this year's playoffs so how guilty are they?
Louisville, Pitt and Syracuse have given everyone in the ACC that says Kentucky couldn't go undefeated in ACC every reason to say UK can't.
Virginia has lost but once but I don't know how. Notre Dame can score points and just might have the team to last the longest in the NCAA's. If Duke can stay close they have a habit of nailing threes to pull out victory. I don't think that is a good in the long run. Louisville can't shoot which seems to be a disease many teams in the ACC have. Carolina at times can be pushed around as if they have no strong players.
If you have tickets to this year's ACC tournament in Greensboro no need to get a hotel. Most of the basketball action should put you to sleep.
Carolina did a find job with the service for Dean Smith. I thought Roy Williams pointing up to heaven to thank Dean for an assist in his life was perfect.
