BC being such a safe choice for last in both football and menās hoops isnāt great. I get its a tough coaching gig, but stuff like that is also a bad sign for the future of the ACC.

A bit confusing, but I assume he wonāt be playing since heās rehabbing?

Yeah just seems like an abbreviated reclass-to-redshirt situation:
The No. 29 overall recruit in the Class of 2026, Cloer has not played in a high school game this season as he deals with a knee injury. Heās expected to recover with the Packās strength and training staff before being ready to play for the 2026-27 campaign.

Yeah, I guess he gets better S&C and time to settle in to college life, classes, etc.
Louisville at Cal, 9pm tonight on ACCN could be a good one. Mikel Brown seems like a maybe
ND - Stanford at the same time. ESPN2. See this Stanford guard that everyone is talking about

#14 in the ACC in regularized adjusted plus-minus, at +8.1: https://hoop-explorer.com/PlayerLeaderboard?conf=ACC&gender=Men&tier=All&year=2025%2F26&
Itās more impressive when you see that most of his teammates sit in the +1-2 range (except for a backup center who is at +5.5)

We could go 13-5 and 4 of those 5 loses come in the next two weeks. Very front loaded

The officiating in this North Carolina versus Florida State game is prime Dean Smith years levelā¦. North Carolina traveling and pushing off all over the place and then getting a foul called when they finally shoot the ballā¦ Florida State canāt get a call so the inevitable start shooting only threes starts happening and North Carolina gets a bigger lead and then everyoneās gonna say the officiating had nothing to do with it because they win by a lot when meantime, the officiating broke the will of the other team.

Noles are for realā¦can beat anyone
Also, I recall someone saying that Caleb Wilson was the real deal before the season started ā¦turns out he was rightā¦
So like obviously we want more good teams in the ACC for public perception, but am I right in saying that conference results are essentially a wash in metrics like WAB? Like if Pitt beat Miami our potential Miami win/loss would drop in value but our Pitt game would increase in value by the same amount Miami dropped ?
I think it matters for NET, but itās too early to say exactly how. For example, Cal winning tonight over Louisville would probably be good. Itās a net wash for the conference, but raising some of the teamās NETs helps make more of them Q2 or Q1 opportunities.

I think thatās approximately right but it might not be exactly offsetting because the relationship between opponent team strength and WAB value is not necessarily linear. But across the entirety of the conference schedule I think things more or less wash out.
