I thought going into the season BC was a sleeper for an NCAA tourney bid with Hanlan and Anderson being part of their entire starting 5 returning. Its still early but losing to a PC squad w/o Dunn & Austin and now to UMass is pretty bad, starting to look like a win against them in MSG won't do much for the resume.

They looked painfully slow vs. PC. Anderson is a player, but outside of him I don't know what they have. Their coach is a program builder, except it's for the Ivy League.

Well....we'll just have to take care of Indiana @ MSG also.
 
3. What was the biggest red flag from the seasons first weekend?
Katz: The bottom of the ACC took a hit. Two of the losses were legitimate -- Boston College against Providence and Maryland against UConn. But two other losses were not -- Miami against St. Francis (N.Y.) and Virginia Tech against USC-Upstate. The strength of the ACC won't be determined by the top, but rather by its overall depth from 1-15.

Katz is always fair -- a good dude.

PS - I can't wait to kick the ish out of BC...
 
Cincy over NC St. . Also VCU won on the road against Vir. Great road win.
 
.-.
And best of all, Duke loses to KU. The way things are going, every ACC team will have a loss by week's end.
 
I'm not sure what you clowns are doing, but the surely best conference since the invention of the peach basket isn't losing all these games.

I wish you jokers would just knock it off.

Wait, this game was on TV? What channel and how did you get there?
 
UCF plays Fl. ST. tonight. Another opportunity for the AAC to beat the ACC.

Channel 731 or 736 on infinity. I didn't even know I had it, was clicking down from channel 1 just to see what was available. I knew I had it on the HDTV because I have an exxtended package, but didn't think it made it on my older sets with limited packages.

Assuredly everyone here is wrong, NCSt only appears to have lost to Cincy bc the scorer forgot to carry over the bonus points NCST got for beating App. St.

We'd have no choice.

We were in the best basketball conference in America last year. (And the year before, and the year before....)

And now we're in the AAC and I swear, I cannot tell you exactly who is in the conference now or who is joining next year.

Geno Auriemma was right ... as he often is:

"We are in a League of our Own"

Well, Syracuse busted last year against UConn, and I'm sure the Cuse fans were laughing at the OT Quinnipiac game.

If he comes back, he'll have to explain the extra man on the court tech. I haven't seen that one before. I can understand how it happens to a coach. But not at that level. I don't think ESPN is going to take this guy back.

Va Tech lost their top players with the coaching change and the nations leading scorer last year to graduation. Miami is starting over. They are projected to finish 13 and 15 in the league.

Louisville got PF Harrell from Va Tech(signed his LOI but they released him)
Florida got SF Dorian Finney Smith(transfer, top 30 recruit as a Frosh)

Miami lost 7 of its top 8 players from last season. On top of that,
PG transfer Angel Rodriguez(KState) was denied immediate eligibility, will sit.
Top SG recruit, 4 star freshman Deandre Burnett was injured before the season and is done for the year
Top PG recruit Corn Elder is still playing football for the Hurricanes.

That is a lot for any team to deal with.

NC State beat Appalachian State by 21. State also lost 5 of the top 6 players from last season.(nice to get some payback on their coach for the whole Devonte Graham situation)

Juco transfer Dez Lee(Purvis's replacement) scored 24 points on 10-12 shooting. Cat Barber looked great. TJ Warren had 27 and 8 rebounds.

We run 4 freshmen,2 sophomores and 2 transfers in our top 8. Of course there would be a little cohesion problem in the first half of the first game

Blah, blah, blah ...... blah, blah ...... blah ....... blah. You play with what you got. UConn would be ranked No. 1 in the Universe if Jeremy Lamb was a senior, Andre Drummond a junior and Roscoe Smith wasn't racking up double doubles at UNLV, but they are there and not wearing a UConn jersey.

The bottom rung of the major conferences should still be able to dominate teams from leagues that consistently produce a # 16 seed to represent them in the Tourney. This is not a situation that you explain by citing injuries and transfers. The ACC is DOOMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Didnt miss the game at all, watched every minute. NC State young guys did their best, tie score with 10 minutes to go in the game. We didnt expect to beat Cincy this year. Their team has a lot more experience than ours. As I said before, we have four freshmen, 2 sophomores and 2 transfers playing. We expected a rebuilding year. We lost to a tough team on the road. Didnt UConn lose in Cincy last year ?

Lot of negativity to Va Tech after their lose, but not much about the win of WVU. Guess that didnt happen either.
Did UCF beat FSU ? No. Did UCF lose two commits for 2015, Yes.(guess they realized they wouldnt get to play Louisville in conference in '15)
VCU was ranked in the top 15, I kind of think they were supposed to beat UVA(hate the way UVA plays, but they do win that way)

So exactly what is the big 'overated' ACC doing that is so horrendous. Bet that wouldnt be an issue if the ACC had invited UConn instead of, or in addition to Syracuse, Pitt and Louisville.

If the ACC invites Uconn, I will root against and hate each and every ACC team.

WV has sucked for a while, that should be obvious, They lost all their NYC recruits.

And you're being ridiculous about the UCF commits.

How many years does Gottfried get before NCST fans real size what everyone else knows, he is a mediocre coach.

They are killing our RPI.

How in the world did PC get taken to OT by them?

The sick thing is that Fox Sports 1 featured BC in their first game ever,

You have to wonder if FS1 knows anything about college basketball.

Took us to the NCAA tourny his first two seasons. Team had not been in the previous five years. Mediocre or not, he is better than what we had. So we should just fire him because other fan bases think he is mediocre?
He is bringing in talent and yes I know Purvis left but he is being replace by Trevor Lacey at that position and class. Not a bad trade from our perspective.

I dont get the need to criticize him from UConn fans, any history between Gott and UConn was before I gave a crap about his coaching days. Would he have been my first choice, NO, but they didnt ask me.


As for conferences, wait til you get to take a road trip to Greenville, NC . Lets see what Tulane does for your RPI next year. How about Tulsa, didnt they just get dropped by Oral Roberts ?

What team dont you hate, And how on earth is a comment about UCF losing recruits ridiculous. Did they lose them. YES, I thought this was a discussion about conference strength, Is UCF in the AAC , YES , So I repeat, how is it ridiculous since you think you are the end all, be all, basketball authority.
