ACC Regular Season 2023-24

[visitingcock]

Weird. I've never seen that before. Is it possible to play a fellow conference member as a non-conference game?

The Big has a full slate of conference games this weekend

 

[visitingcock]

Dont know why we had a conference game three weeks before any other team. Now we sitting all alone in last place until after Christmas

One job!

I have no idea what just happened to our SOS. beat Clem by 50+, “struggle” to beat Duke by 15+. Then Clem also beats Duke by 15+.

Bet we drop another 7 places in RPI to follow up on last night’s 7 place drop after a 60+ point win

How does Clempson lose 104-40 to SC then turn around and beat the Duck blue devils soundly? Lawson barely above .500 once again.

Duke kicks Clemson's arse in football... and we get our arses kicked by them in WBB. ... pretty soon cats and dogs will be living together

Since the SC game Clemson has lost by 10 to Tulsa and 30 to Auburn thus bringing down their overall score as an opponent. Likewise Duke overall score as an opponent was reduced with their loss by 16 to Clemson. How your past and future opponents fair against their respective opponents has effects on your sos as a result. Also, winning by 60 doesn't matter as I believe there is a "cap" on the effect of winning by 20 or so points so winning by 100 has no more effect than winning by 20 as far as sos goes. Anybody who really studies this feel free to jump in.

Got all that, my question was rhetorical.

How in the world the Duck blue devils lost to Clemson is hard to fathom, let alone by 16. A red flag of sorts, especially with Clemson’s most recent loss to Georgia State at home no less. Jury is still out on Lawson as it should be. She may eventually be able to stack enough talent there through her recruiting to overcome much of this type of perplexing play, but there are reasons for concern here including her coaching abilities, inspirational locker room speeches none the less. Her teams have been upset more than they have knocked off equal or higher rated opponents by a good margin.

 

[Geew1992]

Is she going to play this year?

 

[CAbballfan2]

Is she going to play this year?

No. Just enrolled in classes and practicing.

If you ever start to think you have some idea about various teams...

North Carolina is thumping Syracuse. The Heels just refuse to play with anything resembling any semblance of consistency, so from game to game it's impossible to know what to expect from them. Cuse was quietly cruising along at 11-1, but that is about to change.


Uh...why is Notre Dame letting Pitt hang around with them?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Triple double for Utsby. 14/16/10, impressive stat line.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Virginia Tech has their hands full with Wake Forest. Dare I say there are no off nights in the ACC?

Wake Forest is now 4-10.

If there's one defining feature of the ACC, it's that the top teams play down to the lesser foes and magically turn soft teams into bubble teams. That's how they get 8+ teams in the tournament.

 

[cancontent]

More insight on what happened to Baldwin. Fingers crossed it's not as severe as a lot of us fear.

Not that impressive.

 

[Rooster C.]

Not that impressive.

She had 9 assists in the first quarter so kinda slowed down after that I guess.

 

[Plebe]

Not that impressive.

Actually it was 16, 16 and 10. That officially crosses the impressive threshold.

UNC also got a big game from Gakdeng (22 points), who to me is such an enigma. She can be a major force or just totally disappear, depending on the weather.

Sure wish Lville would have played down tonight

I thought we would be dining on Kentucky Fried Cardinal.... guess I was wrong.

Don't mind me, I'm extra salty tonight..

I know the feeling, actually, a little too well

Didn't see the game but the box score screams ICE COLD. Major bright spot was the freshman Okananwa.

The 27 turnovers didn't help either. We had 28 turnovers on Sunday. If we don't get that under control, we will be playing on Wednesday in Greensboro... along with Pitt and Wake.

Come on, even a hater has to give props every once in a while. I know you would love to have her wearing a different shade of blue if you could.

Yes. Would love to have her wearing the blue of UNC-Greensboro or Presbyterian.

You jest, but pretty much any team in the country could use a player like Utsby. Currently leading the team in rebounding, assists and steals, 2nd in scoring, 2nd in FG% (I'm not counting the player with only 3 attempts for the season). I think your Devils could use all the help they could get after posting a 4 point quarter. Yes, I went there.
