Miami won, but UNC lost the series.
So who is THE best arm right now? ...let's assume a rested/healthy Xay. Legit question.
Wow Pitt!?
I don't know how you don't pick Thomas. Curry is too homer prone and I don't think it's the ballpark. I'd love to see his ground ball percentage and home road splits to be sure but I think that's a cop out. I would have put Hurter right on Thomas' heels based on the way he was pitching before he got hurt.
Curry in bullpen.... THAT is something I'd like to see. BADLY. If that happens, CDH is officially "different"When Curry comes back, I want to see him in the bullpen. Willingham, Thomas, and Roedig is a solid rotation. Bartnicki, Hughes, Curry, Chapman, English, Carpenter, and Winborne is a deep bullpen that can really help us advance in the tournament.

It took Pitt 9 ACC series to win its 1st. They have won 1 ACC road game this year (1-11). Swept @ NCST, UVA, & DUKE. 1-2 @ FSU.Pitt took two of three from UNC. Just when you thought it was safe to play an RPI over 200 team.....

Miami also stays right on our heels....one game back but they hold the tiebreaker. Makes me feel like one slip-up and they’ll pass us. Both teams are red hot right now.
If UNC & NCST play 3 games next weekend, they cannot finish tied to each other.Ok, time to look for ACC seeding tiebreakers. Assume Lville 1 seed. 2/3/4 will be filled by some combination of GT, UNC, Miami, FSU, NCSU.
Miami now controls their own destiny, and finishes up their WF series tonight. I get the impression the 4 seed vs 5 seed will be determined by a tiebreaker...what are tiebreakers for 3-way ties? Or vs Atlantic teams we didn't play?
I have attended all but 1 ACC Tournament since 2011. Just observing... I do believe the high seeds approach the tournament just as you indicate. Winning is great...but their eyes are clearly on setting up to be rested & ready for regionals... the following week.To be honest, as pleasant as it would be to win the ACC, it matters not at all to me. Post-season NCAA success is what I want. Call me greedy.
I kind of agree and kind of dont... I like the idea of winning the Coastal and making a deep run thru conference championships, but at the same time, I see it as a Duke or UNC just resting up for March Madness.I have attended all but 1 ACC Tournament since 2011.
