ACC not looking so good. Gotta say it.

[tn00nan]

Miami pasted by MSU. Florida State?! Lost by 20 to Xavier?

UVA barely won the other day, we didn't look all that hot against Jacksonville (which did not have Artis Gilmore and Pembrook Burrows - I know, different Jacksonville). ND - meh (losing after sweating past Princeton).

Duke and UNC so far really the only ACC teams with convincing wins, albeit against weak competition.

But so far, a weak showing by the ACC, in my view. I expected much more.

 

[KerryRhodes]

The ACC has been horrid.

 

[ThroughBlue]

UVA starting slow but they started slow last game too and pulled it out.

 

[ShortCreek]

Fla St has no coach, Hamilton is horrible. ND & Brey won with smoke & mirrors IMO, overachiers that did well to go as far as they did. Miami lacked a point guard, they didn't really have a quality replacement for Rodriquez. UVA has a quality kid in Wilkins out with strep throat and their point guard is slumping. ACC can still place 2-3 teams in the final four.

 

[Cue Card]

The conference has looked really bad thus far. Virginia is more than likely going to lose. They are down 14 at the half. FSU, Notre Dame, and Miami lost earlier today. Wake Forrest lost on opening day. Virginia Tech too.

If things hold serve, the only teams left standing after today will be UofL, Duke, and UNC. The other 6 teams will have been eliminated if UVA gets beat.

Wake Forrest, Miami, FSU, Notre Dame, Virginia, and Virginia Tech all gone before the sweet sixteen? Didn't see that coming.

 

[earsky]

I have to say that it happens from time to time.It was probably the opposite last year,but i remember the Beast getting in 8-9 one year and laying an egg.

 

[Steelers2012]

Yep. No other way to put it. Not a good showing by the ACC...although that has zero bearing on my enjoyment of the tourney and hope for The Cards.

 

[Louisvillian]

Not rooting for Florida over an ACC team but if they continue pounding UVA all I can say is good riddance to that type of garbage basketball. 17 points in 23 minutes.

I realize we can't beat them but you can count on a Tony Bennett early NCAA exit like death and taxes.

I have to agree. Once the tournament starts I couldn't care less how teams not named Louisville are doing. I mean it's nice if other ACC teams win but I only really care how UofL does in all honesty. My enjoyment of the tourney only goes way down if UofL loses.

 

[earsky]

Yep,death and taxes.

I was just thinking the same thing. Just awful basketball to watch. It's amazing that the Cards struggle against them.

 

[ShortCreek]

Pull for all ACC teams for the most part but if Virginia loses so be it. They're the Sherwin Williams of basketball programs!

VA is the only ACC team i DONT pull for.
Just wish Louisville could prison rape them like UF is doing

 

[CardsFirst]

UVA just embarrassing. The ACC is to soft whereas the Big East teams were tough as nails. Sad

 

[earsky]

Pretty pathetic Ty

 

[BPGhost]

I honestly don't get all of the conference sac hanging - whether it's ACC basketball or sec football. Would I rather an ACC team win? I guess but at the end of the day - unless it's UofL - who cares?

Lol,Pitino has our guys petrified of the Cavs.Geez,quit going on about how great they are,maybe the team will think they have a chance.

 

[JohnKBA]

Wow. Florida lost to Vandy thrice and they put the wood to Virginia.

Just goes to show the tourney is a crapshoot.

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

UVA is running a gimmick.

 

[JohnKBA]

Evan Washburn is hawt.

I only root for the ACC to pump up our SOS. Never have understood the "root for your conference" rationale.

 

[BPGhost]

At the risk of sounding like a graduate from the Redundant School of Redundancy - it's matchups plain and simple.

That's being kind

The ACC has been horrid.

I hate to say it, but I have no confidence that we won't be next.

What does this mean? Are you an avid supporter of Pittburgh Paint?

You know you're going to get a post from you know who about how an ACC win benefits U of L, but that's the university. We as fans don't really get a benefit. We earn our keep.

 

[tluck28]

As of this morning, there are more SEC teams left in the tourney. Let that sink in.....I know I know, the weekend isn't over.

 

[Boom Boys 13]

The only teams that are supposed to be left in theory are the 1-4 seeds in each region. With that said, FSU is the only team that has let the conference down.

It's matchups and other than UK and UF, the SEZ is still a joke.

 

[Rollem Cards]

Started to say this yesterday, but I was waiting for a mojo move by UVA. Not.

The ACC is looking just like $EC FB. Two or three really good teams, and the rest are equal to everybody else's middle-of-the-pack teams.

The have become legends in our own minds perhaps??

 

[earsky]

"Elite conference", my a$$...

How long you been waitin to do that?

 

[ThroughBlue]

How long you been waitin to do that?

Probably a couple years at least lol

 

[KozmasAgain]

It is all about coaching Notre Dame and Virginia do the same thing every year. They play tuff all year because they are familiar with their opponents but when they have to prepare for a team they don't know they lose. They both have a good year in the tournament but most of the time they fail.

 

[CardFanDad]

All the chickens#ts post -------------------------------------------->

Standing by for your apology.

 

[LouisvilleKid79]

Is it possible Arkansas and South Carolina do the unthinkable today?

The ACC has been terrible. A bad look for all the talking that was done about this being the best league.

3 Big Ten teams in the Sweet 16.

 

[earsky]

Yes,much like football with the SEC.
