February 2023 - ACC Hoops

Feels like every year there’s a transfer watch talk about PJ Hall (at least here). Probably because Brownell seems to be perennially on a warm seat.

I can’t see him leaving but he’s exactly what I hope we have in Traudt.

I hope they do get in, because they’re good enough, but I also hope they don’t because they’d have to beat UVA to make a case for inclusion.

A bit on Casey in the Athletic’s Bubble Watch:

[Morsell] has fully reinvented himself under Kevin Keatts in Raleigh. As a freshman and sophomore at UVa, Morsell shot 25-of-123 from beyond the arc. He improved as a junior at NCSU, making 35-of-100 from 3, but still shot just 35.6 percent from inside the arc, too. This year, though, he’s 57.4 percent from 2 and 42.6 percent from 3, and he’s likely to finish the season having attempted more 3s in a single campaign than in the entirety of his career to date. As a freshman, his offensive rating was 71.0. Now it’s 130.3.

As Tony said, wish he would’ve stayed. But maybe he needed the change, and I’m glad it worked out.

Same man. Happy for Casey and we are fine (I think)

So assuming the State score holds up, I think we are 1 Duke loss and/or 1 UVA win away from clinching the double bye.

Kind of a troubling outcome for Keatts. They have lost a few double digit games, but getting blown out? On the home court? Whe you have a statement win chance?

Was Galloway the one that had been hurt? Going off today per box score

Galloway only missed two games, but for a very memorable reason. Hemenway has been the one really limited.

I like both of these teams and hope they both make the tournament. It’s annoying that there is no way to account for teams getting better towards the end of the season.

Ahhhhh deez nutzzzzz!!

Looks like the double byes are now set. Virginia, Miami, Pitt, and Clemson. Duke still has a mathematical shot but they lose the tiebreak to everyone but Pitt, so they’d need to gain 2 games on Pitt, 2.5 on Clemson, or 3 on Virginia. With only 3 games to go.

Pretty sure when the season started, not too many people would have had 2 of those 4.

Cake day for @jazznutUVA the most interesting man in the world, or at least on LRA.

Ive seen this name pop up on message boards as a sleeper candidate for the Notre Dame job.

Ive also seen Nova fans salty about this because Neptune was just .500 at Fordham last season before they picked him up to replace Jay Wright lol (although with Justin Moore back Nova looks decent even without a pg).

Florida State giving Miami (without Pack to injury) a scare

FSU is such a wild team. You know they can be good if they decide to be. They were down like 20 at half, then came out and decided to play.

Wow, Miami was destroying them. Stopped paying attention to that one at halftime.
