ACC Basketball 22-23 Preseason

Hokie fans were pumped after getting Basile thinking he’d slide right in and replace Aluma. Their coach isn’t even sure he’ll start

That’s not a good sign for them. Aluma is a huge loss for them and Basile has gotta be able to at least replace most of that production for them to be anything but a bubble team.

Big shoes to fill there. You’re right gotta get something out of Basile though…

The defensive strategy against VPI should be clear. Have Papi maul Cattoor and Pedulla’s faces early and often.

Hokies got new unis.

Well at least we know Nike hates the state of Virginia and not UVA specifically

Slightly better than the generic crap jerseys we’ve both had recently. Not a fan of logo only jerseys. And regular trim or the goofy circular thing, not both. If and when we change, I hope it’s nothing like this.

Hey, VaTech, your official colors are Chicago Maroon and Burnt Orange. You need to own that, not vibrant magenta and standard orange. Your uniforms should look like a suspicious stool trimmed with a Halloween disaster.

I’m not a huge fan of UVA’s orange color unless it’s a on a pumpkin or a fall leaf (apparently Tony and I are of like mind), but I accept that our uniforms should be navy blue and orange.

Hmm. When you click the “watch” link, for the men’s side it shows Tony. For the women’s side it shows some random duke fan. Odd. Time for an update ACC.

I remember liking Chris Bunch when we were briefly mentioned with him last year. Him and Colin Smith (who ended up at Vanderbilt).

Judah Mintz. Benny Williams. Justin Taylor, Maliq Brown. Lot of local kids on that Syracuse team who could be prime for picking if it goes to shit.

I look at that starting 5 and think “Who is going to get me a bucket”? Judah Mintz and Chris Bunch have bucket getting skillsets but both are first years. Jesse Edwards has only even been a rebounder for the Boeheim missed shots and I thought Benny Williams had transferred because he barely saw the floor last year if at all. Joe Girard you just put Kihei on him and he wont score.

It’s actually not a bad roster, just very young

That’s a solid line up……in 3 years with a real pg. I was with you on Bunch

Taylor’s happy to put up a bunch of shots, though given how Cuse has run its offense in recent years I would not be overly scared.

Anyone know what the below are? Analysis? Debate?

Disregard the times… they are Central European Time.

These are showing in my ESPN Europe App…

It’s ACC media day today so those are times of the press conferences, etc
