Those Land Granters are gonna be on fire Thursday Night
I love this kinda stuff..... .. hoping for a few T's and some mean stares
Dang it! I'm going to miss this one due to a business conference......
Of the decade? NC State maybe. ACC tournament winners none of which were Louisville:
Is ACC tourney the only criteria? What about conference regular season and NCAA Tourney performance?
I hope I can.Check back in 2031... I'm just saying
Yep.
I guess if you're a Louisville fan and ignore their 77-67 loss to NC State putting Louisville in third place now. And don't believe the common opponent logic (Louisville lost to Uconn by 24, Uconn lost to ND by 15) you could find a way for enough upsets to get to this list. If you're making any bets I will take them.
Actually I'm not a fan of Louisville at all. I see them losing at ND but winning throughout otherwise which would leave them one game ahead of other top teams in the standings. If they are tied with anyone they would likely not finish first.
I see FSU losing a minimum of 3 of those remaining games. I also see Syracuse doing the same.
Are there warm up courts the teams can use? Running and stretching in the hallways in Greensboro always worried me from an injury and preparation standpoint.I found out while searching for tickets. for the 2024 tourney that there are changes. Some good, some bad.. For the good. Instead of having separate sessions on Thursday and Friday at 11am and 2pm, there will be just one session with games at 11am and 1:30pm. Previously everyone had to exit the arena after the first game, and if you were going to go to the second game you could either mill around in the plaza areas for 45 minutes or go back and sit in your car until they opened the arena doors back up.
For the bad. Since at least since 2006, the price for a entire tournament book was $99 dollars. It has been increased to $149.
For the good and bad. Instead of the evening sessions being played at 6pm and 8pm they are now gonna be at 5pm and 7:30pm. Previously the scheduled 8pm game NEVER started at 8... usually around 8:20 or so. Good that games will be done around 9:30 instead of 10:15-10:30. Bad in that there is about 30 minutes less turnaround time between the end of the 1:30 game and the start of the 5pm game. There were times where i would stay til the end of the early game.. drive home... charge my phone a bit, eat a sandwich, and close the blinds of my house and then rush back to the game for the warmups of the 6pm game. 30 minutes less time for that.
2026 is TBD Charlotte will hold its first ever ACC Women's tournament in 2027
Agreed. Sadly, those days have sailed, I'm afraid...although, maybe, just maybe, Greensboro remains a semi-permanent host for WCBB. But everyone should have seen this coming as the conference expanded, the yankees moved in and there were other, larger, more attractive cities to showcase in the bloated conference umbrella besides Greensboro. The conference moving headquarters to Charlotte was a last, final ignominious act that the ACC us old southerners grew up watching is no more.
When the ACC was formed in 1953, Greensboro was selected as the headquarters because it was almost in the geographic center of the relatively-intimate conference footprint; the range of states was South Carolina to Maryland. Greensboro is not the most beautiful of cities but is a decent-sized city...and was proud to host the headquarters of the conference, a distinction it would hold until last year. TPTB thought a move south to the bustling Charlotte area would afford the conference many amenities that Greensboro could not provide and that would require travel to Charlotte, anyway. Moving the headquarters to a major city like Charlotte would also signal the conference as modern and booming (even as fortunes on the men's side of the basketball ledger wane big time).
