unc cheater u rolled tonight down at GT. Someone mentioned platek in an earlier thread today. He scored 3 points in 3 minutes of action and was 1 for 1 from behind the arc. Just think what he would be averaging if he played 40 minutes a game. OFC

We'd be unstoppable bro

How did we catch so much heat early on, especially from UNC fans, about our road schedule? Has anyone compared our ACC road schedule with theirs? It seems like every year, including this year, we play the best of the best ACC, away. Looking at UNC, their ACC road schedule is a joke.

Yeah, it’s pretty bad. Last year they got the brutal one, though.

Big Luke Maye, ACC pre-season POY, is still in the discussion for ACC POY and possibly even NPOY. Unfortunately for him, that discussion is being held by Gary 7 and FlaTarheel, who are most likely the same person.

Actually, I don’t think they are anymore.

We still play you guys and Louisville on the road.

Big Luke Maye dropped 4 pts. last night on GT with 2-9 shooting. I think Cam and Coby are taking away most of his easy shots. Preseason NPOY? LOL

All jokes aside, Big Luke Maye has done great considering his limitations. However, his limitations (lack of athleticism and defensive skills) will be UNCs demise. He's fools gold and really kills UNC defensively.

Right. But the top of the ACC is something like UVA, Duke, UNC, Louisville, VaTech - then I think a break and then Syracuse, NCState, Florida State.
You guys play @NCState, @Louisville, @Duke and that's it.
There are 6 teams that have won 1 or 2 conference games so far this season: BC, Clemson, Pitt, Miami, Wake, and Notre Dame. You play @ all of them except Notre Dame.
On the other hand, we play @ all of the top teams except NCState.

I mean that’s fair. Schedules vary from year to year. I don’t typically get into the conspiracy stuff about who plays who and where.

It’s not conspiracy, it’s just an awful argument that was made by many at the beginning of the year. Duke may finish with the toughest road schedule in the country by year’s end and that doesn’t even account for any of the tough non conference neutral site games.

@FSU
@Virginia
@Louisville
@Syracuse
@VT
@UNC

I’ll match that up against anyone’s toughest 6 road games, conference or non conference.

There's no conspiracy. It's just how it works with the unbalanced schedule. Last year it was UNC with the tougher non-conference slate. It's not ever going to change with 15 teams in the conference.

Agreed. No conspiracy at all. Fans take it too far when they suggest someone has it 'easier' on purpose.

For perspective, NCSU’s football team scored 24 or more points in every game but two. One of them was a 41-7 loss to Clemson. The other was 23.

And VT might wanna put up more than 47 when the blue devil express rolls into Blacksburg.......just sayin

I looked at the score and seriously thought it was half time. I said wow, state only has 24 at the half. So you can imagine what I said when it realized that's the final score!!
A combined final score of 71????
Seriously????

Look, I know uva is a solid team that has one loss, but they have 20 pts with three minutes to go in the first half, against a very mediocre Miami team. I’m confident we take care of business next Saturday.

The top of the ACC is UVA, Duke, and UNC. The drop off after that is HUGE. Sure, one of the other teams can beat one of the top 3, but the tier 1 team usually has to help a lower tier team out, a lot.
You forgot to put the top 3 in the correct order: Duke, VA, and UNX.
Oh yeah, Duke didn't beat VA, we just didn't beat ourselves.

Funny Jay Williams said Cam Johnson has to be in the conversation for ACC player of the year. I'm going to assume he's talking about the second place race, because unless something crazy happens, that award should be wrapped up and awaiting presentation to Zion.

Exactly. Zion name should be already engraved on the trophy

ODD and Sky in the corners hitting threes and me running around the court screaming like a crazy man flailing my arms in an effort to confuse everyone on the other team. You and Mac run point.


I do believe there are a couple of rec league teams I score keep for would have given VT a better game. There aren't any excuses for NCSU fans when your team performs like that. When I saw the final score I though VT was running the four corners. OFC
