2009 ACC Tournament

[BillD1984]

IMO, BC is locked into an 8-9 seed, but they can move up to a 6-7 if they upset Duke.

What I mean by 'every kid gets a trophy,' it's my way of saying I'm not too fond of allowing every single team in the conference tournament.

Why not? Most conferences have always allowed every team into their tournament. The Big East is about the only one that didn't.

I think it's good, because then everyone has a chance. Allowing everyone allows those teams that improve at the end of the season show it.

If Clemson had deserved to win that game, then they would have played better. A true champion does not let up at the end.

 

[Derwin0]

I couldn't; I had college classes.

That sucks. Back when I was at Tech, the profs didn't even expect us to be in class on the Thursday & Friday of the tourney, especially when the Jackets had an early game.

That's no excuse! I can't tell you how many classes I missed in college during March! Class vs. Basketball & Beer? No brainer!

Not a surprise. We can still beat VT provided we play defense.

 

[Derwin0]

Not a surprise. We can still beat VT provided we play defense.

Need to start doing that, VT has been leading most of the game.

 

[BillD1984]

Virginia Tech leading UNC by 1 with about seven minutes remaining.

 

[uncrules]

WHEW!!!!! Tough, tough, tough game without Lawson but UNC managed to win due in a very large part to Hansbrough showing why is one of the best ever to play at UNC.

 

[Mets82]

Yeah, but Sabres is right with the whole classes thing. When I was in middle and high school I always wound up with the teachers who wouldnt let you watch the Big East Tourney, much less the NCAA tourney. Everybody else got to watch except me!!! lol

I had to wait until I came home to watch the games.

You said it! What a game. I'm not gonna lie and say I wasn't nervous but when Hansbrough gets that look in him I never think we can lose. How bout them Heels!

 

[anders5189]

Florida St up 33-26 at the half.

 

[SabresRule]

Hanbrough had 28 against VaTech.

How many more does he need to surpass Redick as the ACC's all-time scoring king?

25 points away, and just 7 rebounds away from Sam Perkins record as the all time leading rebounder at UNC. Tomorrow could be a very special day.

 

[anders5189]

Florida St ends Georgia Tech's cinderella run 64-62.

Carolina-Florida St tomorrow in the semis. Carolina won the regular season matchup on a Lawson buzzer beater so the Heels will need to find some other way to win tomorrow.

 

[Skyhi]

Florida St ends Georgia Tech's cinderella run 64-62.

Good finish to that game. I thought Tech's shot at the end was going to go down.

 

[Derwin0]

Yeah, at least the season ended on somewhat of a high note. Almost makes up for the uglyness of the regular season...almost...

 

[anders5189]

Maryland up 36-31 on Wake at the half.

 

[BillD1984]

Maryland up, 48-33.


Go Terps!!! Nothing against Wake, but the ACC deserves 7 bids! :up
