March 2023 - ACC Hoops

Man watching Big 10 tourney. The announcers on Big 10 network are so much better than ACC network. It’s night and day.

Already 3 transfers from Louisville. Kamari Lands the big one. Also Devin Ree and Fabio Basil.

Not surprising. These guys didn’t go to Louisville to go 4-28.

Doesn’t seem likely if the bracketolgist community is correct. We are playing to get a pod in Greensboro but 3 seed is probably out of reach

32 brackets up so far today on Bracket Matrix (I am ignoring all of yesterday’s brackets)

UVA: 27x 4 seed, 4x 5 seed, 1x 3 seed
Just by eyeballing it, I am pretty sure we are still #16 on the S-Curve in today’s brackets.

Miami: all 5s and 6s
Duke: mostly 6s and 5s
NC State: 27/32 brackets (mostly 11s, but some 10s, and two 9s)
Pitt : 23/32 brackets (almost all 11s)

NC State–by number of brackets–is 4th to last IN and going to Dayton; Pitt is 2nd to last IN and going to Dayton.

UNC: 1/32 brackets
Clemson: 0/32 brackets!

So it looks like best case is 5 ACC teams, with 1-2 in Dayton.

I feel sorry for that 1 seed that’s going to get a 4 seeded double ACC champion.

I count 6 possible bid stealers still playing, so Pitt and NC State should feel decently good. Ohio State, Vandy, Cincy, Tulane, UAB, maybe Utah State maybe Penn State, but the last 2 might already be in. Don’t think the first 4 have much of a shot of each winning 2 more games. Maybe UAB has a shot if FAU doesn’t try real hard.

If we win, Marquette beats Xavier, and Penn State beats Indiana today, I could see us getting a 3, but still far from certain.

In that scenario maybe we pass Xavier and Indiana and they put us ahead of two of Tennessee, K State, and UConn as the last 3 seed.

On a pay-per-win basis Louisville’s gotta be shelling out more than anyone in the country

After every block he’ll say “Did I do that?”

With those specs did he even see that he signed with Louisville?

When he’s not shooting hoops down at the Y, Dennis likes Legos and cooking for his mom, and his love for astronomy has made him a fixture in several hobbyist groups in the area. “Mr. E” is also a favorite among students at Farnsley Middle School, where he teaches Pre-Algebra and Health.

OK, that’s the funniest thing I’ve read all day.

Haha I was thinking the same. In addition to whatever :moneybag: Louisville gave him, I’m guessing he made sure he’s getting a 6% match on his 401k and full vision + dental benefits.

UNC declined a NIT invite:

Is this a “everyone’s leaving at the end of the season” signal?
