ACC Basketball Thread 11/23

We’ll never know, will we?

Median outcome of night one is right now 5-2 SEC despite the GT upset :face_with_head_bandage:

I just feel like we look “relieved” when we play well the last few years. That bothers me.

Needed Pitt to win that one. Missouri is pretty mediocre

I’m old enough to remember when UVA would be winning in a blow out, but espn would stay with the game and it was a good thing because UVA would blow the lead, fall behind, come back and wind up winning by 2.

Me: Jarin Stevenson is so vastly overrated

Jarin Stevenson: Records a defensive rebound

Me: …maybe I underestimated you

Over the past week I have come to the conclusion Alabama isn’t very good. I won’t be at all surprised if Clemson wins this game. Perhaps I am wrong. I am often reminded when I am.

Clemson is the last undefeated ACC team.

Pitt and NC State have been a let down tonight, the two teams who had looked like pleasant early surprises. Maybe State will turn it around though. I haven’t been watching but the box score is weird. Ben Middlebrooks is their leading scorer, already matching his career high with 10 points…which came against NC State last year.

They will be the last one too.

Being behind by 10 against Virginia feels like soon you’ll be up by 4 with 2 minutes to go

Clemson cooking Jarin in the post. Woulda fit in perfectly here.

I am already dreading Capel complaining that media narratives are putting his team on the bubble when they scheduled 1 Q1 non-conference game, 2 Q2s, and will go 1-2 at best in them.

Reed Sheppard probably making $2 million tonight alone in NIL merch sales. Meanwhile our entire team is on instagram in the stories begging for pennies on #GivingTuesday

The ACC…

we suck again GIF

Started out so well with GT and Syracuse too. Been all down hill from there. That’s alright…means it’ll even out tomorrow.

There is genuinely no path forward for the ACC to be a top tier basketball conference. The conference is so behind on revenue which means we’re picking from the bottom of the barrel once the coaching carousel gets going

@wahoobelinda says we counted out Clemson too soon. Too late for me but hope they pull it off.

Clemson pretty much has to win this for the ACC to have any shot in this challenge. We’re not coming back from 2-5

Wow. Tonight has taken some interesting twists and turns.

Edit - Lol, Kentucky over Miami and SC over ND were the only two ACC-SEC games KenPom called correctly.
