NC State beats Louisville for ACC Title

Good for them. They should be a #1 seed. BTW, Dana Evans had a terrible game: 7-21, 0 assists, 3 turnovers, 3 rebounds. I wonder if this may have an impact on NPOY voting.

Have seen Louisville a number of times, not overly impressed, jmo.

That was one really fun game to watch though.

It shouldn’t matter, but voters haven't voted yet (regular season ends tomorrow), so it could be a minor influence. I actually don’t think it will hurt, but if she had a huge clutch performance down the stretch, it would have probably helped - just in the sense of reinforcing the conventional wisdom that Evans has been clutch this year. So it was more of a missed opportunity for a positive than a negative.

I told Tonyc back in late January that North Carolina State was the team to watch. My sleepers for the NCAA Tournament assuming anyone beats UConn and I hope they don't...is NCS and GA.

Kudos to N.C. State on their Victory and 2nd straight ACC Title.
Evans absolutely stagnated her POY candidacy today with only 15 points, 7-21 shooting, 1-8 3 Pts shots, 0 assists, 3 turnovers including a crucial turnover with under a minute to go. So not so much Ms. Clutch and zero ACCT titles since Asia left.

Evans was 14-47 (slightly below 30%) for the ACC Tournament. That's pretty poor, especially as she didnt do other things to help her team win. I mean, if people are harping on Paige for a slipping FG % the last few games, you cant have a double standard.

12 PPG, 3-18 from three, 14-47 overall, 10 assists, 8 TO, 8 rebounds

She's had an excellent year but part of the glow on her is from her reputation the media gives her for being clutch. That was a really poor tourney, however.

I watched part of the game between the two. First time seeing North Carolina. They are big with some good smaller players. What I noticed that Carolina 'Bigs', were not too efficient in rebounding & the team's play, as a whole appeared not to be co-ordinated. Yes, I am aware that they have won a number of tough games!
