Just to back this up. When the first days of the ACC Tournament has tickets selling for 25 percent of base, you can see a huge problem. Nobody in Brooklyn cares about Fl State versus Louisville. When you wait 2 days before before you see a top 20 team, the Tournament and the Conference have lost luster.
It is hard to get excited for a Tuesday night game between WFU and BC in early February. That game will not move rankings and will not see shavers or spurtles.
Back in the day every single ACC game was winnable/ loseable Not even close now
I became an ACC bball fan in the mid to late 80s. 80s/90s ACC bball was a grinder. It is sad to see it as it is now. I truly believe it is coaching and unfortunately the gap between the ACC and SEC/B1G resources wise is only going to grow which means it is going to be harder and harder to attract the coaches to the ACC. It is what it is. So glad we have CTB.
I went to the tournament multiple times in the late 90s and the play in game (Les Robinson Invitational) would be well attended. It was next to impossible to get tickets.
Lmao what (yes itās that Doug Edert)
The aftermath of the Mintz ejection? Justin Taylor getting major runā¦ but looks stiff.
EDIT: Never comment until you see the whole clip. Oops.
Bryant w/ a dagger 3 at the 1H buzzer
Sorry if this is a repost, but Sam Vecenie has Reece!! currently at number 63 on the 2023 Top 100 NBA draft board. Article in the Athletic.
Justin Taylor has been solid. Helped Syracuse get back within 4ā¦ vs Bryant ā¦
13-4 cuse run, down 52-56
Justin Taylor with 21 points.
I will say he has shown more confidence in his game than Dunn or McKneely. Not shook at all. But at the same timeā¦ itās Bryant.
Justin Taylor is getting a lot of run because Syracuse is bad. But getting run regardless helps build that confidence/on the court development in crunch time situations. My conclusion is only that Justin Taylor found a good landing spot for him to thrive.
I get it, but I dont see Isaac as being shook or unconfident. Sometimes timid maybe ha
I think Williford hit it on the head perfectly in the last Willy show when he said McKneely sometimes isnāt looking at the basket and just passing back to top of the key.
Yes. Exactly that. He will get there
Am I surmising correctly that the latest JW podcast hasnāt dropped yet?
Link to the video.
Oh man forgot Earl Timberlake Jr was on this Bryant team. Former DC area stud. Just goes to show no matter how athletic you are, need to be able to shoot 3s.
Damn Justin Taylor missed 2nd free throw to tie the game. 71-70 Bryant up with 12 seconds left
As competative a kid Justin Taylor is, heās probably going to remember the two missed free throws of his in the last 90 seconds rather than his offensive outburst this game.
