ACC Tournament Bracket Set

Is one of the mascots a horse? I'm a bit confused on that one. Did Boise St. join the ACC when I wasn't paying attention?

The horse is Florida State's mascot @Crazyhorse might could explain why they chose a horse.

Believe Arizona received the automatic bid as the highest ranked Pac12 team not taken into the NCAA as Plebe pointed out.

You may be correct. You don't have to have a .500 conference record to get an at-large bid to the NCAA Tourney, so I'm not sure why the NIT would have a stricter standard. Arkansas was 6-10, but again they might have been the highest finishing team in the SEC that didn't make the Tourney (Georgia and LSU had better conference records by must have declined NIT invite?).

What a day for Triad - UNC and ND both getting bumped in the ACC consolation first round games! I don't think either team gets a WNIT bid - don't you have to have at least a 50% record in conference?

Cannot believe how low ND dropped this year. What a swing, beating FlSt on Sunday and laying an egg on Wednesday.

Ha.... it was definitely a pro-PITT crowd... at least in my section. We were all groaning and grimacing at all the missed Pitt layup and bonehead plays toward the end of the game. Exulting and applauding when the buzzer sounded

And to top it off..... I won a ACC Mini-Basketball ..... What a great day

But it's Notre Dame, NOTRE FFFF... DAME!!!!!!

Well, if they petition for a waiver to the NCAA, I am sure they would get the invite...

No.
.500 record overall for an at-large bid.

Auto bid goes to the highest team in the conference standings that doesn't get an NCAA bid, regardless of record.

UNC will get a WNIT bid. Notre Dame won't -- unless there's some waiver I don't know about

How did the crowd respond to the game winning bucket by Harris?

What is up with the Underdogs today in the ACC? Clemson on fire vs. a Mompremier led UM team!

I know Beatrice went down for 11 games but was Miami so bereft of talent that all they could muster 4-7? Isn't that on the coach? I have to look at Katie Meyers record to understand whether she's really good, just average or is now trending down...more to come...

Clemson up 10 on Miami at the end of the 1st quarter.

If Clemson wins, that would mean the #13, 14 and 15 seeds would all win in the opening round of games.

 

[triaddukefan]

Im curious.... I know that Lachina (she's quite tall) did the first game.... but did Antonelli do the Pitt-ND game?

Although I wanted to see Mompremier play in person.... it wouldn't break my heart to see Miami lose tonight.

How did the crowd respond to the game winning bucket by Harris?

Lots of cheers and applause from where I was sitting I expected ND to win....... thought Pitt was gonna give them the victory with all of their mistakes towards the end..... but I was so happy for Pitt and their players.... they were so overjoyed with emotion. I knewt hey only won 1 conference game...but didnt realize that they were 4-25 coming into the game

 

[LETTERL]

Clemson is, well...Clemsoning.

Halftime: Clemson leads 37-33. Kobi Thornton with 16 points already for the Tigers.

I was leaving the game today.... and you know how the Scalpers hang outside and ask if you have extra tickets... anyway... there was a pair of ND fans walking beside me.... and the lady ND fan says no.... she just bought a ticket for today's game...... didnt buy a ticket for thursday cause she wanted to see if they won first. Guess she wont be back for the rest of the week.

I just realized why the game was blacked out for me on the ESPN app, the game was on a Fox Regional Sports Network instead of ACCNX.

I was watching it on Fox Carolinas when I couldn't get the final 20 seconds of the game for some reason.

Muffet didn't like what was happening and so she pressed some button to nuke the feed

I know this is a bizarre observation...but Amanda Butler's choice of shoes with her outfit seems...odd.

After Miami grabbed a brief 2-point lead...Clemson on an 7-0 run to re-take a 5-point lead. Nearing the end of the 3rd stanza.

You tout this tournament all year long, show love for Carolina's basketball teams (except 1), have your team on a double bye and you skip the game that might feed to Duke on Friday? Not sure I follow your logic...

 

[LETTERL]

Now a 14-2 run for Clemson...

 

[LETTERL]

Clemson takes a 55-44 lead into the final 10 minutes.

Apparently McGraw and the Irish gave up tournament victories for Lent

Seriously... i hope some of the irish fans stick around for the rest of the week. I know they have never lost before Sunday in the tournament.... but other fans stick around through thick or thin.

 

[LETTERL]

Kobi Thornton with 25 points through 3 quarters...11 of 14 from the field.
