If I answer a question correctly I've got a couple of questions in mind that the OFC members of DI will appreciate. I haven't quite decided yet which of the 2 questions that I'm going to ask if I get the chance
OT: Answer the question correctly, Give the next question. No cheating.
- Thread starter skysdad
- Start date
Ding ding. 2 World Series titles in their only 2 trips to the playoffs. Hard to believe.
Which ACC school was the first one to win consecutive regular season titles and consecutive tournament titles?
I was sure it was the holes. But without it being one of us, NC State?
It's not Virginia, South Carolina or Maryland either
Yes sgrooms...I'm talking about in men's basketball. I forgot to specify that when I posted the question
You got it @LetsGoDuke301. NC State was the first ACC school to win consecutive ACC regular season championships and ACC Tournament championships. They were ACC regular season champions in 1955 and 1956 (they shared it with UNCheat) and they were ACC Tournament Champions in 1954, 1955 and 1956.
Yeah I was pretty surprised too that they were the first ACC team to win consecutive regular season titles and consecutive ACC Tournament titles

This is a side note from the book "the legends club" Valvano said when he would go to Carolina he always laughed at all the banners and one day he was looking real close and saw small print on the bottom of some ACC championship ones.. He asked about it and was told it said *4 way tie for 1st* and he laughed and said when he got back to Raleigh he was going to get banners made that said ACC champs and in small print put *almost*
"The Old Grey Fox," the great Coach Everett Case who coached two future ACC coaches...but I digress- not my turn to pose a question...Hey its time for a question!!

I am not going to be around this evening. I will forfeit my turn if you guys want to keep the train rolling. If not, I will come up with something tomorrow morning.
If I have to wait, it better be something I have a clue about...not some stupid movie.
OFCPiggy backing off of Will. How about a question that has the answer: Coach K or Duke.If I have to wait, it better be something I have a clue about...not some stupid movie.
No, I can't believe no one has it. I though it would be answered right off. You guys are thinking too hard. I'll give you a hint and make it easier four you. OFC
Bonus did you know:
Babe Ruth hit his first home run in Fayetteville, NC on March 7th 1914.

I knew and both Sky and OldasDirt were in attendance.
I've tried to avoid answering questions.
But let me add some Everett Case stuff.
He and State actually won 9 of 10 conference tournaments, his first six in the Southern Conference and then the first three ACC Tournaments.
The loss? Dickie Hemric and Wake Forest beat State 71-70 in the 1953 SC tournament title game. Think about that. One basket away from 10 straight tournament titles. Yikes.
He also coached at least four future ACC head coaches; Vic Bubas, Norm Sloan, Bucky Waters and Les Robinson.
Of course, Vic Bubas had five assistant coaches at Duke and all five became head coaches somewhere else. Two of them are in the hall of fame.
Anybody want to take a shot at this one?

Three down, two to go. I'll give a hint. One of the two remaining guys played at Duke, under Harold Bradley. He was a teammate of Lefty.
And Jeff Lebo was the guy Brickey stuffed.
