3 of them won the ACC regular season and tourney titles. All Duke in '10, '01, and '92

7 of them won the regular season but not the tourney.

0 won the tourney but not the regular season

1 won neither, Duke in '15.

haha In the rare occasion that I might know where a recruit is going, it would depend on the circumstances. I’ve done it before, as long as it’s doesn’t totally spoil where he is going. Or if it’s just kinda already obvious and I know it to be true, then yeah. Fine line between leading people on and letting these young guys have their moment. But it really is rare that I would know for sure.

I prefer to present things and let people connect dots on their own. Like with Kaufman right now. I mean I don’t know where he’s going. It’s even possible he could surprise us all and name UVA. But there’s certainly no indication it’s coming our way.

Yes thats the DAWG in me. Now can you contribute tu the board and stop trying tu get TUGARD tu talk with you please!! Have a bless nite MI HERMANO. Thats French!!! LOL

You have to be a pretty good team to win the regular season, but only winning the tourney could happen for a team who isn’t a NCAA contender because stuff happens in single elimination tournaments. And because of that, it’s hard to win both the regular season and tournament.

Well, there you go! :slight_smile: People who didn’t know anything about basketball were shocked. While not universally true, many of those who knew the significance of DeAndre Hunter’s contributions to the 2018 team weren’t quite as shocked. And, as I said, I was disappointed. I am always disappointed when Virginia doesn’t win. And, given the circumstances, I can think of worse losses.
First, and foremost, the Virginia loss to Chaminade.
Second, the 1980 Soviet Olympic ice hockey team’s loss to a U. S. team composed mostly of college all stars.
Third, the Colt’s 1969 Super Bowl loss to the Jets (and, possibly the Viking’s 1970 loss to the Chiefs).
In 1972, UNC was down to Duke with 17 seconds remaining in the game, and Duke lost. UNC accomplished the win without the benefit of a 3 point line.
The 2007 Michigan football loss, at home, to Appalachian State.
In the 1939 Rose Bowl, an undefeated, untied, unscored upon Duke team loss to USC when a backup quarterback threw four straight completions in the fourth quarter to lead the Trojans to victory.
These are just a few losses which I think were more shocking than UVa’s loss to UMBC. These are off the top of my head, and I’m sure that others could add to the list. Of course, the UMBC loss probably stings more to those here because it was Virginia which lost. Finally, keep posting your views. This would be a very dull place if everyone agreed on everything all the time!

I think the worst loss in COLLEGE BASKETBALL HISTORY occurred in January of 1995 when Duke lost Coach K for the remainder of the season due to “back issues.” Our nation, indeed the worldwide basketball community, mourned.

Here’s to hoping that whatever happened to the duke football program to take them to what they were in 1990s from what they were in 1939 so happens to their basketball program as well.

It was only Gary McClean doing blow and I think he was high during the semis. Also he said he was fucked up when they visited the White House.

Because I’ve 100% lost track many days ago, UVa is not in that one because they’re already in the Mohegan Sun event, right?

Since everyone have different schedules and play different teams twice. The regular season is not as popping anymore

Im not sure why we are still talking about this 73CAV. I said I respect your position. I don’t believe it but I respect that you werent shocked when a 16 beat a 1. I dont care if we didnt have Dre, Wilkins and Mamadi. Our team and players should not lose tu UMBC. Especially with so much on the line AND im not sure Dre would have made a difference. Their little guards were killing us and the packline didnt effect them. But you say you weren’t shock, THATS COOL. Im not sure why you have tu say the people who were shocked doesnt know ball. My dad was shocked. My mentor was shocked. Cornell Parker (REMEMBER HIM) He was shocked. All three know ball and I will bet know more than you but that shouldn’t be a topic. The majority of the world was shocked. Thats all my man!! Im not trying tu debate you. Thanks
