🏆 ACC Tournament 2024

Yeah, Lunardi thinks the loser of this game is effectively out of the field barring some other major upsets

Yeah… all the announcers talk about is how everyone is a tournament team.

Right. According to Bilas the “eye test” is what matter…numbers are secondary.

They also usually say the tourney should never be expanded, quite the paradox

So an “eye test” of a good rec team playing at Slaughter… they should be in the tournament? :rofl:

Is Cory calling our game? Wonder if he’ll endorse us as a tournament team? Guessing not

Downhill driving guards are what we’ve been missing since Malcolm Brogdon. Reece is much better but I can’t name anyone else that we’ve recruited that can handle well enough to drive downhill, create contact, score etc.

Those are the types of guards and play that earn calls during the ACC and NCAA tournament that good teams have.

Before anyone mentions it- our Natty team had Ty, Kyle, and Dre’, BUT those guys weren’t downhill drivers however at times did an okay job of it. They were just VERY efficient shooters.

To summarize- an equalizer to BAD offense/shooters are those Ishmael Leggett guards that can drive, finish or get fouled.

Never at D1 or D 2 level … a ton in high school though… I even did triple headers in high school and during Christmas tournament season I did 12 High school games in 2 days one time - of course I was 23.

I think I got an extra ticket to the night games. my pal has to bail. Upper corner, Row J. Probably free but need to confirm. DM if interested.

Bonus: you get to hang with me.

Agreed. We’ve tried a lot though over the years to get that kind of guy. It’s the white whale.

Honestly, it is my hope that Eli will be that for us.

We literally have one on our roster right now who doesn’t play much or at least only against North Carolina

I feel like, 10 years from now, I’ll say I wish we just had Reece & EG as our starting backcourt for 1 year.

Just wish Reece had 2 sidekicks as good as Kyle & Dre. Would’ve been the GOAT PG.

One thing I’ll say about Jersey city: it’s not in Ohio.

When you have a guard who can get downhill and score at the rim, that’s not something you waste! Cmon now! You save him for when you’re down double digits to the best team on your schedule. Y’know - “break glass in case of emergency.”

Just don’t think about it and it all makes sense
