ACC & BIG SOUTH 2022-23

[triaddukefan]

High Point released their 22-23 roster as well today. All but one player returns from last year's squad. In fact, the squad looks pretty much intact as the 20-21 NCAA Tourney team. No biases, but My Panthers will be overwhelming favorites to win the Big South and return to the NCAA's.

Notre Dame's schedule

Duke is the last school to release its 22-23 roster, but the first to release it's non-conference schedule. @Rooster C.

You gotta be FIRST in the ACC in something I guess...

 

[GoChips20]

That’s weak for a preseason top-10 team.

Notre Dame's schedule

 

[Two for Two]

ACC is going to be a war all season. I think the regular season champ will have at least two losses. My top 5: 1. Louisville (Coaching/Experience) 2. VA Tech (Talent) 3. NC (Speed/3pt shooting) 4. ND (Swag) 5. NC ST (Balance/Grit).

I can't see State dropping to 5th. They lost alot, but did better than average in the transfer portal.

 

[Two for Two]

It does seem like a huge fall, just feel like it's Va Techs time and NC and ND are ascending with young talent. I could see both 1-2 and 3-5 decided by the tie-breaker rules. They are all going to be really good.

Totally agree, it looks really wide open and definitely could see the regular season champ get bounced in the conference tourney. My top 5 would be
1. UNC
2. Virginia Tech
3. Notre Dame
4. NC State
5. Louisville

I can't agree with that top 5.

Not sure why they can't release a schedule like a normal school. I'll give them credit for coming to Greensboro for a return game vs A&T. Good to see a P5 school come to a HBCU. I might have to attend that game... wearing a Duke Shirt of course.

Now I'm psyched and ready to strap on the blue nikes and hit the court myself..... but sadly my bad shoulder, elbow, hip flexors, and ankle won't allow it.

Of note, 14 scholarship players and 2 walk-ons. Nyah Green is not a member of the team this year but remains a Duke Student.

What has happened with N Green? I was so disappointed when she left Louisville, but of course understood that she wanted to play. She gets to Duke, that isn’t exactly talent rich, and still gets little time. Now, she’s not even playing?

I watched her all through HS as she committed to Louisville so young. I hate that it has not worked out for her.

I hope she is happy, she looked miserable at Louisville.

Outta nowhere.. This is terrible news for State..

Outta nowhere.. This is terrible news for State..

Her low-post game as a wing was lethal, especially when the opponent used a 3 guard lineup against the WP and she was on the floor with 2 of Elissa, KJ, & Camille. She was finally going to start this year after the super-senior COVID rule delayed that for a year.

 

[triaddukefan]

Some good news for fans who dont get the RSN's but do get the ACC Network/ESPN. No more blackouts of the first three days of the tournament.

Looks like people will have to revisit their ACC predictions again. Jada Boyd has decided to return to NC State.

Great for State...... I dropped them from 1 to 4th in the ACC. Now I'll have to move them back to 1st. I was gonna drop them to about 20th in the BY preseason poll... now they are solidly back to 5th.

5. Louisville

The ACC is looking really fun this year and hard to read. I like this list, although I really wouldn't be surprised if Louisville was at the top and everyone else just slid down one. Debatable hot take but I just think they have the best player and best coach in the conference.
I couldn't remember but it's impressive that the ACC got 8 teams into the tourney last year and I really thought BC deserved to be there to be honest. I think they will get 8 in again but 9 really isn't out of the question. My top 9 are:
1. Louisville
2. UNC
3. VT
4. ND
5. NC State
6. Georgia Tech
7. Duke
8. Miami
9. Syracuse

Oh, heaven help us if the Blue Bellies end up in the pole position. Especially with Big Mouth Banghart at the reigns.

No need to worry. They ain't finishing that high.

Amazing !

I just found out that FSU has a women's baketball team. Great. That slipped past me.

And they get to be run off the court at he Mohegan Sun by UConn on December 18th.

 

[triaddukefan]

Been waiting all summer for this to be released



Among the highlights... The 2022 revenge tour is set.... games road games vs Elon and Wake Forest, home games vs Davidson and Wofford . A trip to Puerto Rico to participate in the San Juan Shoot-Out. However, the big game..... an historic event occurs on Wednesday Dec. 21. For the first time in history, a possible Top 20 ACC opponent visits the Panthers Lair. VPI comes to High Point.

Can't wait to see my Panthers launch 50 3pt'ers vs the Hokies.

Might be banned from this site @ 7:45pm that night

 

[triaddukefan]

Toughest game on the schedule might be vs the Fighting Camels of Campbell

It's 10:15 - checking on that blood pressure reading

A few gripes.... I'd prefer playing in Winston-Salem on a Sunday afternoon rather than a Thursday evening. The first conference home game is the same time as HPU's biggest home game in school history. Dont really like playing Louisville on New Years Day.

 

[triaddukefan]

Not strong at all.. Especially for a top 15 squad. Three tough games... Nebraska, Tennessee, and High Point
