Avdalas getting hot right before we play them. Don’t love that

The beauty of a smaller conference is a home and home. It was awesome when we had 8 teams @DFresh11 in the ACC. And then 9 when FSU joined but we always did a home and home.

A gross win. But a win. Onward and upward.

McKneely balling out. This is exactly the type of game he goes off in and then you talk yourself into him taking that next step as a player

It was credibly reported here all summer/transfer window.

TDR getting paid $8M and Sam only $6M though has generated beef between the two. I hope they spread it around next year.

Up for debate how credible I am but I’d place this year’s payroll between $15-16 mil with a fairly high degree of confidence. Budget probably isn’t the right word because the so-called budget going into last spring was $8-9M and that previously would have been an outrageous spend. They got guys, then raised more money to get more. That’s how it worked, at least for one year.

Totally different environment now with revenue sharing and outside deals needing to be approved. But at the same time, I’d pay attention to last year as an example of how no one knows what the market will be this time either. Or how the rules will be enforced. Seriously doubt UVA will be at any disadvantage…once it gets established how far schools can push with outside deals, likely further than many people currently assume, everyone will find the sweet spot and be on fairly even ground.

We’ve locked up the 2 seed so we should rest the starters on Saturday …

Sam started resting a game too early.

Hope this is a joke. What an awful idea if not - team needs momentum back after 2 lackluster performances and we’re playing a rival game against a team that already beat us and is fighting for a NCAAT appearance. I want to crush their hopes and dreams, and make up for the most egregious ref show loss I can recall in recent memory.

Seeing complaints from Duke fans about the timing of the games. Apparently we’re getting their preferred noon start time this year. Why preferred? More time to rest between games, or something. I guess the 1 seed traditionally gets the noon slot.

Dammit, I hate that Duke fans are complaining about this as well. Reminds me of the well-worn trope…

Hmm, is Louisville a paper tiger?

Been saying it since pre season that Pa Kelsey is overrated. Which says more about the media hype than his coaching acumen.

Thanks! Just canceled a hair appointment so I’ll be home to watch. :slight_smile:

What’s Duke going to be in the ACC Tournament? -300, -400?

That sucks. Could affect his draft prep, too, I’d imagine
