ACC Post-Season Thread: Playoffs, NCAA's et al

Of course, you did. Why wouldn’t you want to play a team down two starters? One being arguably the best PG in the league. :oops::rolleyes:

Precisely. Of course I want Duke to cut down the nets, but if there was any other team i would want to be the ACC Champs it would be VPI and Kenny Brooks.

Now the nerves are about to kick into overdrive. Not sure if my heart can take another nail biter :eek:. One of the drawbacks to attending a game in person. I can't yell and scream and throw objects... Well i could... But i would be escorted out of the arena with a quickness.
 
The game will be delayed for at leaat 20 minutes. Teams are warming up again. :oops:

Without Miles and Mabrey, all you have to do is swarm Citron and the rest of ND is helpless.

Louisville was excellent defensively, aided by refs that allowed them to play very aggressively, but ND just didn't have the personnel to compete.

Walz is too good of a coach to not find a way to shut down this limited of a team with time to prepare.

It's still a minor miracle that ND came back to win in the 2nd half without Miles last weekend.

Nice to see what another top team looks like without a couple of their starters. Offense is tough, isn’t it.

Strange that both the ACC and SEC tournament had weird delays for court issues. I wonder if the flooring issue was discovered during or after the first game?
 
Bad news : Guess i won't be opening up the cider this year :oops:

Good News: I won't be thrown out of the Coliseum or put in jail Sunday celebrating Coach Lawson cutting down the nets :oops:

Man, we look defeated coming out of the locker room. This might get uglier.

Does this drop them below the top 16?

I never had a root canal, but it cannot be worse than what i just witnessed. Leaving the arena surrounded by overjoyed Hokie fans just added to the misery.

I still love my squad though.

The ACC was not about to be outdone by the Pac 12. They also managed to eliminate their top 2 seeds prior to the championship game.

I was exiting through the concourse, and a Coliseum worker was yelling. "Support women's basketball.. Even if your team lost, come back tomorrow for the game" . I looked around, surrounded by maroon and orange, and realized she must have been been talking to me. :oops:

You could give me a case of Cheerwiine, two steak subs, and some Italian cream cake, and I still wouldn't be able to enjoy it. I'm gutted. :(

You should check out the game
 
This tournament is unwatchable. It’s a rugby game disguised as basketball. The ACC is going to be in trouble when tournament time comes and they can’t mug teams defensively without ACC refs to allow it, and legendary coaches like Geno, Kim Mulkey and Dawn Staley who will be all over any ref who calls games the way ACC refs do.

I'm not a fan of WBB officiating in general, and some of the ACC officiating has been pretty horrendous this season, but aggressive physical defense ("mugging" seems a bit strong) happened in pretty much every game I watched regardless of conference. There have been dozens of posts on this site about Lou Lopez Senechal getting beat up every game. Lots of physical post play in the SEC games that I've watched. It's not just the ACC.

They’ve taught players to not reach with their hands, but bump with their bodies and they do it all over the court. That’s why scoring is such a struggle.

If the NCAA wants to grow the women’s game via viewers they need more Showtime in the game and less bumping rugby.

After watching ND perform in the un-perfect storm at noon, I decided to see how ND could do in another sport and luckily our Girls Lacrosse team beat Duke 14-6 in Charlotte. And the guys beat Maryland, 13-12 in triple overtime! So, if you add those two scores, they're 2/3 of the way to what the girls scored in hoops today. :confused:;)

The good news for you, I suppose was seeing the Men's team beat UNC at Chapel Hill and probably knock the Tar Heels out of the NCAA Tournament.

So, it's a lovely day in northern NJ today and Duke/ND can hope 40 points are on the horizon. Oh Happy Day!!
 
At the Coliseum. To no surprise... Tons of maroon and orange in the parking lot and in the concourse. Probably will be at leaat 80 percent pro fowl crowd.

Triad, just finishing up watching the Va Tec/L'ville game on TV... hope you enjoyed it.

My two takes:
1) The Hokies deserve the title.
2) No way would I want to play with, coach or cheer for Van Lith. She has been and still is just so selfish. I feel for her teammates (and Walz, who clearly can't control her)... 8 of 30 today and yesterday, and yet she keeps dribbling around and firing away.
 
Good on Virginia Tech for pulling this out. I don't see them as 1 seed worthy but they have a nice resume.

Also, crazy dirty play by Mykasa Robinson...can't believe this was just brushed over by the refs (and announcers). Gregg was quite shaken up and went to the bench in pain. Should've been ejected, or at the bare minimum taken out of the game by Walz.
