Thursday (3/7) games

[Plebe]

Emery is ballin'

 

[UCBaller2012]

Collier taking over!

 

[Plebe]

Key defensive mistakes by VT and Aliyah Collier with 8 straight for Clemson.

 

[HuskyNan]

A showcase of offenses, for sure.

Hofstra is coached by the former Krista Kilburn, PG for several of our powerhouse NC State teams in the late '80s. She was a fierce competitor.

BTW, Nan...how did your son end up at Elon?

He hates the cold and refused to look at colleges north of the Mason-Dixon Line so we researched school in the South. My sin’s Guidance counselor gave s a list of school that included Elon. We visited and he loved it. It was a great choice for him

Elon up 30-26 with 4 minutes left in Q3

 

[LETTERL]

Clemson holds off VaTech, 80-79. But the star of the game was Taylor Emery. 35...36 points? Including a THREE at the final buzzer.

 

[UCBaller2012]

When is the last time Clemson made the QF of this tournament?

 

[Plebe]

Virginia Tech joins the "what migh've been" club along with Utah and others.

VT had 3 crucial overtime losses: to Syracuse, NC State and Clemson. Winning just one of the those games might've been enough to get them in the tournament.

Now it's time for the main event. Sitting beside a couple of fsu fans.. And some tar heel fans who already let it be known that they despise Duke are sitting behind me. If you hear about a fracas breaking out at the ACC tournament....and u see a angry Duke fan with a blue shirt being led away in handcuffs.. Then u know its probably me

[if] u see a angry Duke fan with a blue shirt being led away in handcuffs.. Then u know its probably me

That's pretty much my baseline assumption.

 

[MSGRET]

Ha Vegas is *not* my cup of tea. But the arena is nice. Stadium style seating and just the right size.

We drink stronger stuff than tea here in Vegas Plebe, but enjoy yourself while you're here.

Ha sorry, I didn't mean to offend your town. I'm trying hard to keep an open mind

Any recommendations on food?

 

[IrishTiger]

Auburn Down 27-23 to Bama at half. Playing really bad basketball hopefully they can turn it around in the 2nd half and start playing better basketball.

 

[LETTERL]

Duke and Florida State running up and down the floor but scoring at a pace that Elon and Hofstra would be proud of!

No offense taken. Where are you staying, what do you like, and what price range per person?

 

[HuskyNan]

Elon prevails over Hofstra 55-52

 

[Plebe]

Auburn Down 27-23 to Bama at half. Playing really bad basketball hopefully they can turn it around in the 2nd half and start playing better basketball.

Hopefully? Naw, I'm thinking they need to lose and get left out of the tournament.

Sorry, my rule is: You lose to Tennessee twice, you're dead to me.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Auburn has a good defense, except their offense is rough and they don't hit wide open shots in general.

 

[biobioprof]

The one time I had a “Long Island Iced Tea” it was more than strong enough for me.

As an A&M fan I want Bama to win in 5 overtimes.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Kristy Curry has the most annoying voice. Its like nails on a chalkboard.

With or without Carter, I don't think A&M should fear either team playing today.

LOL I remember in the Tennessee-Alabama game, someone on VolNation called it "a voice only a mother could love."

 

[LETTERL]

4:03 left 2nd quarter...Florida State ahead of Duke, 16-14.

 

[Plebe]

Yeesh I tried watching a few minutes of Auburn-Alabama but I think I accidentally clicked on the women's rugby match. Holy cow.

 

[triaddukefan]

Good gosh

 

[LETTERL]

Halftime: A scoring flurry resulted in a 23-19 halftime lead for Florida State.
