Official ACC Tournament Thread

[dukiejay]

Let's use this thread for all non-Duke games going forward.

Syracuse jumped out to a 26-18 lead on Pitt, but the Panthers finished the half on a 13-3 run and lead 31-29.

Winner probably punches their ticket to the Dance....loser is likely going home.

Hopefully Syracuse can hang on. I think they have a better chance of beating the cheaters than Pitt does. The two games they played in the regular season were close but no cigar so now maybe Syracuse might be able to get the cigar!!

Now hopefully Syracuse can come back. Played well the first half and now don't seem to be that solid.

The Syracuse offense looks really bad. It's unfortunate we lost to these teams. I think we are better than both.

Johnson for Pitt is having a career game. Cuse just lets him keep shooting. OFC

What happened at the end I just saw the final score

 

[gottagonow]

Pitt was ahead with 2 minutes or so to play by 10, Cuse hit three 3's and tied it, Pitt went up 4, Cuse hit a 3, Pitt lost the ball, Cooney missed a 3 as time expired.

Thanks sounds like I missed a good one

Clemson kind of having their way with GT. Not surprising, IMO.

Does anyone else think ESPNs audio is all screwed up? I can hardly hear Shulman and Bilas.

 

[skysdad]

G.T. comes from 18 down with about 9 minutes left to play to win it 88 -85 in overtime. Went to stall ball early. OFC

 

[dukiejay]

I missed the comeback. Playing in the playoffs of my NBA fantasy league tonight and was watching some League Pass. Shocked GT came back.

 

[LetsGoDuke301]

Yeah, when we left dinner, it was 79-69 with just a few minutes left. Didn't think GT was capable. But that's why I don't get paid to predict such things.

I wish that would happen to McDonough & Doris telecasts

With ESPN telling me that UNCheat may still be the best team in the country, I'd love for Pitt to pull and upset today.

 

[pisgah101]

Carolinas players all look like the type of bland basketball team they would show on tv or a movie. I've never really noticed it before lol

Drink every time Dorris says "young man."
Drink twice every time Dorris says "dribble drive."

 

[Smythe13]

Where would unx be without Joel Berry, in this game or the last Duke game? He has been their difference maker

 

[pisgah101]

Idk what happened here Carolina was looking like an early exit at first and now they laying it to Pitt. Turned it on big time

Virginia Tech looked very good last night. Their scheduling is a shame, because the 6 (7th) best record in the ACC with a tournament win should get a tourney bid or at least be in a conversation. Instead, they'll be thankful to be in the NIT. Piss poor OOC scheduling and playing.

 

[Smythe13]

The end of the first half was the beginning of the end for Pitt. Empty possessions and a little unx run. They went from 6-8 down to up 4-5

If they could win today and get to 20 wins with 2 over Miami they could have a chance

And the funny thing is, you look at the team's they've beaten in conference and add 20 wins to that, you'd say that team was a lock. But Tech has been notoriously bad with OOC scheduling and dropping games to the likes of Alabama State.

But you're right. I think if they at least make the finals, you can't keep them out. They beat Miami they leap into the bubble convo.
