I think this is the closest we're ever going to get to seeing @triaddukefan have anything nice to say about Banghart.

That wasn't my intention

She didn’t say Atlanta. She sad Duluth. I know where Atlanta is (generally), but I’ve never heard of Duluth and therefore its association with Atlanta. I guess we’re co idiots. 😆

Put me in the same bucket. Had no idea that it was an Atlanta ‘burb and I can read maps. It sounds like a back country town, but it wouldn’t make sense to have a tournament there. 😆

For half a second when I heard it I was like "why are they playing the tournament in Minnesota?!"

 

[DefenseBB]

It's about time. They have more talent than over half the teams in this Conference

Careful Scarecrow, you're playing with fire...Baylor, WVU, USF, Clemson and UNC all had less All-Americans than you and yet....

In fairness, I suspect "scarecrow" would be at the very front of the line of people that think there's no way in he11 Duke should have lost that game to WVU...

 

[LETTERL]

It just occurred to me.

The ACCT is in Duluth, Georgia. And Duke's the Blue Devils. Making the connection made me pull up "The Devil Went Down To Georgia". Great tune!

There really wasn't a good reason; WVU was down to 5 bench players and Duke had its whole team available. It was a remarkable win for WVU.

Despite losing 2 of 3 to close the regular season, the turnaround by Duke that started shortly after that WVU loss has been impressive. The Blue Devils do not resemble their early-season form at all now.

Duluth is in the colder part of Atlanta.🥶

 

[Ladeeeeda]

Duluth is in the colder part of Atlanta.🥶

Yes, NE of Atlanta and it should be a cool 82 this weekend!

 

[Gamecockfan77]

Duke's finish has me wondering if I should sell some of my long held stock before NCAA time.

@LETTERL @FanInNC

Sorry about last night. Y'all were just a ant standing on the railroad track when a Nice Blue freight train came rumbling through West Raleigh

Anyway. The ACC WBB isn't here in Greensboro this week, but you can attend the Big 12 swimming and diving championships.

WHAT??????????????? Why would the Big 12 have their swimming and diving tournament in Greensboro?

NC State men are playing themselves out of the NCAAT. Two blowout losses surrounding a WTF loss to Notre Dame. Duke must have run that same "bust the zone and get an easy look inside" 15 consecutive times and the Wolfpack never stopped it nor even attempted a new look to try forcing Duke to work a little harder. Men against little boys last night.

Well apparently the Big 12 is going to a neutral championships away from campus locations for sports. Greensboro has one of the top Aquatic centers in the US, and of course it is a neutral location. Unfortunately it was last week, but they are completely back in 2027

You know good and well I was gonna play that if Duke is victorious on Sunday 😏

Let's try to keep the focus on Stanford

[triaddukefan]

I guess so. Take away her from the team and ND would be SMU or Wake Forest

ACC Women’s Basketball Announces 2025-26 Award Winners

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – Notre Dame junior guard Hannah Hidalgo has been chosen as the 2025-26 Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, headlining the 2025-26 All-ACC Women’s Basketball Team and individual award winners.

theacc.com

I guess they tried. The media continues to demonstrate that they have no earthly idea what's going on outside of the state of North Carolina.

Well, that was a little harsh. The Hidalgo and Izoje picks were spot on. But I can't get over Miami and Georgia Tech having more All-ACC players than a team that tied for 5th in the conference.

Hope Syracuse can keep her, you know those $EC schools are waiting at the gates like greedy expletives deleted.

A "rookie" is by definition not a 21 year old who's a three-year professional veteran. Laaaaame.

Hopefully the AD’s at the ACC schools have their wallets open 😩

Yeah last night was the latest in a long line of disappointing outcomes for the men. The only fun thing that’s happened in 2 or 3 weeks was the beat down they put on the Heels. The Pack men are very one dimensional. When the 3s aren’t falling they aren’t that scary.

For the uninitiated and @LETTERL, actually this is NOT about neutral championship sites as almost all swimming championships are never held at a D1 school. The conferences usually want a high end facility with spectator views which most D1 pools do not have. Championship swimming is about pool depth 8 feet or more (to absorb all the kicking turbulance), desk space to accommodate all the teams, spectator seating, hotel accommodations and 8 competition lanes, separate diving wells, warm-up and warm-down areas. But as Triad notes, the GAC is a phenomenal facility and is known as one of the fastest pools in the country. The indoor YMCA nationals are held there frequently.

I'm curious. Ive heard for awhile that GAC is a fast pool. What exactly makes a pool fast?
