ACC 2024-25 Season

State wrapped up its regular season with a blow out of Wake. It’s wake - so I mean whatever, BUT a special night for a legacy trio in Raleigh as it was senior night for Saniya Rivers, Azaiah James and Madison Hayes. Those 3 right there will go down as Wolfpack royalty. Their play on the court, their personalities, the type of young women they are and their accomplishments - gonna miss watching them in the red and white but what a joy it’s been to watch them grow and develop.

James had it cooking in the first half, just anything she wanted at anytime. It’s been fun to see her grow from a player who barely saw the court her first 2 years into what she is today and honestly she should get consideration for conference player of the year. I know Hidalgo and Latson have that market cornered in most people’s minds - but James outshined both of them in head to head match ups and deserves to be right there in that debate.

Notre falling to FSU! Now State and the Irish are tied for 1st and the Pack has the tie breaker! Handle business at SMU and Wes Moores squad will be hang a regular season title banner!

Always good to see the Heels take a L.

Louisville continues to roll here late.

Georgia Tech continues to slip down the stretch.

VT took a bad L to BC in OT. Not sure where they sit in the bubble talk after that ?

Is 6:19 AM too early for some Milds and Hendog? :rolleyes: Maybe I will wait until later after I get to watch the game.:cool:




Gotta feel great for Richadson. She has been in a slump for quite a while and broke out of it on Senior Night. I remember she had a chance to win the first game in Chapel Hill in regularion, but missed a jumper in the final seconds. She was in tears during the timeout between the end of regulation and the start of OT. She definitely got her redemption tonight... as a NC kid in front of all of her family and friends.

In the first matchup, Fournier went 0-8 from the field (maybe still feeling the effects of a concussion) Had 19 points 10 rebounds and 2 filthy rejections. I think she wrapped up ACC rookie of the year tonight

That video is hilarious!
 
Watched the post game show on ACCN last night and they seemed to be still on the Carnegie for conference freshman of the year train. Not sure how Fournier hasn’t taken the lead in that the past few weeks.
 
Thoughts on Makayla Timpson as a draft prospect? She’s very consistent for Florida State and in my opinion is one of the most underrated players in the country. She dominated the game against ND last night and did it without a block, which is arguably her best skill.

She’s undersized at 6’2” but looks to have great athleticism. I could see her sticking on a roster.

She should be a first-round pick in this draft, but we'll see. If she's available at #13, I would want Vegas to take a long, hard look at her.

They're likely going to be out (deservedly so), and it's going to negatively impact the trajectory of their future. This was their best shot of making the tourney the next couple of seasons, and they just blew it. Losses to substandard teams like Stanford, Syracuse, and now BC tell us exactly who they can't be. Now, they're headed into a murky immediate future without a clear-cut ACC-caliber PG, being way too heavily reliant on Carleigh Wenzel (who is not a PG and is highly inefficient), and not one threat in the post (Rose Micheaux is graduating). I don't see the vision unless their assistants start pulling rabbits out of their hats (i.e. hit the portal HARD with little to no money). Since Megan Duffy hasn't been much of a portal miner in her career, she may want to start revisiting that strategy if she wants to keep the team out of the ACC cellar. Otherwise, she'll see that it's easier to sink to the bottom than it is to rise to the top.

You have to make the NCAA Tournament when the opportunity presents itself because that's how difference makers find you. All this "we'll build towards that" will have you running a treadmill until you either perform a miracle or until the AD gets tired of you and hands you the pink slip. Hopefully this is a lesson learned for Duffy and all other first-time P4 coaches. NCAAT appearances matter.

I feel for Rose and Matilda because they were kinda screwed in this process.
 
Huge day at the bottom of the league. This is the final game of the season for SMU and Wake as they will not qualify for the ACC Tournament. If both Miami and Pitt win or lose, Miami goes to the ACC. If Pitt wins and Miami loses.... The Canes season is over. I actually give Miami the better chance of winning today.
 
The Wolfpack clinch the regular season title!

Impressive job by Wes and the team after losing both starting post players off of last years squad. You bring in Caitlyn Weimar to start at the 5 as your lone transfer in the portal and she is lost for the season before the first game. Start the year 3-3 overall and look completely inept at the 5. What a turn around, tremendous strides by Trygger at the 5 as well as Awou to complement great play making guards.

Another legacy building banner for the trio of seniors Rivers, James and Hayes and their place in school lore.
 
Thank you, Notre Dame.

Now, we need to take care of business against Florida State.
 
Wes Moore deserves to be ACC Coach of the Year...but we all know he won't get it.

It would have been classic NC State Stuff for y'all to lose to SMU with all that was on the line. Alas, my Mustangs couldn't deliver (not that I expected them to)

Maybe Charmin Smith? Being picked to finish 14th (most of that was laziness/stupidity on behalf of the ACC voters) and finishing 7th is quite the feat.

People in ACC-land will make the call for Jeff Walz because of the "nInE FrEsHmEn" (eyeroll)--without realizing that he only plays about three of them regularly and his team has more seniors in the rotation (four, including a 5th year grad who stayed in the program all five years) than freshmen.

I think it should go to Wes given how well he's been able to develop those freshman bigs during the course of the season. I know that the set of guards they have is dynamic (probably the most dynamic set of guards in the ACC this season), but being able to get ACC-caliber production out of the bigs has been huge.
 
VT and Clemson tied at 44 in the 3rd in a game the Hokies desperately need.
 
Pitt up 8 at the half putting pressure on Miami to pull one out tonight.
 
Imagine losing to a bottom-half ACC team on Senior Day. Couldn't be me! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

And yes, I know they have injuries. I don't care.
