ACC Regular Season 2023-24

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?
 
Triple double for Utsby. 14/16/10, impressive stat line.
 
Virginia Tech has their hands full with Wake Forest. Dare I say there are no off nights in the ACC? :rolleyes:

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.

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

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.

I know the feeling, actually, a little too well :oops:

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. :confused: 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.

One huge surprise from today's Duke game was the insertion our Belgian PG from the 2024 Class. She arrived on Campus during the break, and most of us expected her to merely practice with the team while getting acclima

Interesting decision as it means her eligibility starts now. Hopefully they plan on getting her decent minutes for the balance of the season.

I think the desperate need for a back-up for Mair drove the decision. Ashlon Jackson has been filling that role and it’s completely out of position for her. Battison being able to come in and give Mair a breather is most likely the goal. I would also think Kara is confident in what she’s seen so far with her to get the ball rolling.

She was recruited bc VDJ got hurt. If she could have started in the fall, Duke would have let her. We need another point guard. Ashlon is so much better when she doesn't have pg duties. Hopefully, Louann can give T the breaks she needs and Ashlon can just be a shooting guard

I've been thinking all season long how nice it would be to have another true PG and have a few minutes in a game where Mair plays off the ball and can look for her shot without having to worry about setting up the offense. Hopefully in time, Battison can provide that option

Two maybe three upsets today just so the voters have to do some work and not send in a copy. Anything to make it interesting in the ACC.
 
Who had Louisville as the last undefeated team at this point of conference play? Considering they're still figuring themselves out I know I didn't.
