🏀 ACC Men's Basketball - ACC Tournament Week: 10-16 March 2025

Begrudgingly, Dook was sooooo much better than the rest of the ACC this year. Honestly surprised they lost to Clemson (and glad they did, we wouldn’t have heard the end of Dook going undefeated in conference play for years).

Them beating Louisville like this without Cooper Flagg and Maliq Brown is impressive.

Boring final.

I feel empty inside. I hate when Duke wins the ACC tourney.

Dook winning the ACC Tournament without Cooper Flagg and Maliq Brown tells us…

• They’re a great team
• The ACC truly sucks

[UVAdrian]

I hate to say it, but the answer might be “Both”

[tonyburnertt]

It’s definitely both.

Our team kinda sucked but i really think this roster plus warley (and bliss I guess) with Tony coaching would have maybe somewhat easily finished at least 3rd in the ACC. Whole conference outside of the top looks worse than the A10 games I’ve watched the year.

[tonyburnertt]

I could write a thesis on the reasons I hate this guy specifically, but I think Duke fans’ recent desire to be accepted and respected is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.

Accept what you are! Dont bitch about it! You soft soft soft motherfuckers

Ah, the old eye test.

If we take a look at KenPom, take out the best four ACC teams and the worst four A-10 teams, the remaining 14 ACC teams’ average rank is 96.9. The top 11 A-10 teams’ average rank is 101.8. And that’s taking out four A-10 teams ranked worse than 200.

So, no, the ACC still kicks the A-10’s ass top to bottom and everywhere in between.

[tonyburnertt]

Where do you think a Tony coached version of this team with Warley would have finished?

[JBHoo]

It’s probably been talked about but I didn’t realize until seeing them at JPJ how big Kon is. Seeing him and watching him play it’s easy to see why Tony wanted him so badly…

I’ll chip in on this convo. Tony and Warley would’ve helped this team, but I don’t think they’d have been great still… ACC being as down as it is, I think they’d have been roughly where UNC is. Maybe get a top 4 but squarely on the bubble.

Warley would’ve helped at the point of attack defensively but I don’t think he’s a better defender than say Reece or Ryan last year and that team still got diced up by good teams. On the other end his inclusion into the mix probably limits some of what we got from both Dai Dai and Rohde.

But I’d still be happy with having Tony lol so there’s that.
