ACC Basketball December 2023

Am I seeing this right? Notre Dame down 16 at home to The Citadel? Our games against ND and Louisville are going to be Q4 home and away, ugh

Duke is 100% going to hide Filipowski on Dunn, daring him to do anything while Filipowski sits back in the paint to anchor theri D, and then everyone else will probably switch on defense.

Man we need one of these west african bouncy centers who brings a ton of energy. Damn you handlers.

Hopefully Robinson can be that for us… next season :sob:

Dunn’s inability to even be a modest 3 point shooter is really hindering our offense. Memphis sagged off him so much last night and it felt like he was just a black hole anytime he got the ball.

Even his FTs are starting to look bad when earlier in the season he was looking good there. He’s very in his head about the shot you can tell

I know this isn’t you, but the term “handlers” is wack. The concept itself is, and the term. Just the state of things I guess. But gross.

NC State down 3 at half to St Louis.

Why not just run pick and roll with IMac and Dunn all day? I don’t get it? Either IMac will get open looks because of the drop coverage on Dunn or it will open up 5 on 4 plays if they hedge on IMac

Will this be Kenny Payne’s last game?

“System” coaches are certainly quaking in fear of this:

I guess technically they’re playing with freedom on offense, huh? The little hand-wave by Payne at the start was a nice touch, as if the players knew what kind of set to get into.

I’m legitimately shocked at how bad/unorganized UofL is. I’m not sure I’ve seen a team with that amount of resources be that clueless.

I watch them and wonder if they actually understand what basketball is.

Watching them try and run a zone is hilarious. Reminded me of my college rec squad that was comprised of two HS basketball players, two unathletic white dudes, and a guy that would show up to games high as a kite. Just complete ineptitude.

Nolan Smith leaving Duke to go there makes me happy.

That’s what they remind me of when I watch them a rec league team. Hoe can a team with that much talent that practices as much as a D1 team does be that unaware of what they’re doing.

Maybe Kenny Payne is just auditioning to be the next coach of the Detroit Pistons

On the bright side, the ACC did a much better job of avoiding really bad OOC losses than the last couple years. Sure, Louisville got pummeled, but its not like anyone expected them to win.

Can’t remember where I saw it…may have been this thread…but I believe it said Louisville is the difference between the ACC being the #3 conference and #5.

Maybe in NET because its weird, but in KenPom it’d only move us from 6 to 5 (ahead of the PAC12). Even dumping both Louisville and ND probably wouldn’t get us to the Big East at #4 but we’d at least be in the ballpark.
