Week 14 - Feb 2 to 8

[BRS24]

Happy Monday folks. Hope all y'all are continuing to keep warm. According to friends, this has been the longest cold spell in FL in 15 years. I'm just thankful that our HVAC system went kaput the first week of January, and not now or in the middle of the summer. Once I saw @Centerstream post the AP poll thread, knew it was a matter of time before ESPN updated their rankings. If my math is correct, there are 13 matchups of either t25 teams, t25 team vs ORV (others receiving votes), or ORV vs ORV.

And as always this time of year, a fast follow of the top 8 conferences per Warren Nolan NET as of this morning. Teams shaded in color have most disparity between conference and overall records (3 or more spots differential). The ACC wins again this week with the most disparity. There are a lot of teams within 2 spots right now. A lot still to shake out, however I like looking at the conf vs overall records to see who shot out of the gate early, dependent on quality of opponents, and who is now going thru the gauntlet of conf play.

Hoping the Wolfpack shows up tonight for the Play for Kay game, always the best home game of the year in Raleigh.

Halftime of the NC State Play 4 Kay game is always an emotional one. I hope ESPN will show it. They have in past years.

Uh oh. North Carolina is ranked again, and just beat NC State in Raleigh, which I'm guessing they haven't done in a long time.

Announcers said this was the first time Banghart has won there since taking over the program.

NC State shot 37 FT combined in wins against Virginia and Boston College but only attempted 2 FT in Monday's loss to UNC. Just a terrible second half for NC State. Very disappointing, especially after NC State surged to a 9-point lead midway through Q2. I hate losing to UNC anytime in anything, but to know Courtney Banghart's team outplayed mine just upsets the stomach. But the Heels played like the better team Monday night.
