WOW! Not looking pretty at Pitt.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Pitt opened the season by losing to Navy.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Pitt opened the season by losing to Navy.

And I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that Pitt was a 5 point underdog to Navy in that game, which is possibly worse.

It should be pointed out they were only a 2 point favorite tonight

At home.......

Against Montana.....

Just to complete the circle Miami wiped Navy by 40.

Family ties to Navy - had to text to ask why they were beating up on the poor little ACC after the Pitt game.

The Panthers are a mere Pittance of what they used to be.

Very clever.

It really is a Pitty how far they have fallen.

Pitt is currently down to #142 on Kenpom. 2 years ago with their winless season in conference play BC made it all the way down to 225. Can Pitt challenge that low?

Yes

Wake trails Liberty by 9 at half. Are they supposed to be pretty bad this year too?

 

[FightWinDrink]

Wake lost. Syracuse pulled away from Iona late. BC struggled in the first half against Sacred Heart but cruised in the 2nd. Obviously most eyes are on Duke for ACC teams today though

I am not sure how these weak teams in the ACC affect us. It might be bad when NCAAT selection time comes around.

 

[Peacone36]

Wake has a lot of talent I think they will be fine. BC is the #14 team and Cuse might be the #13 team so it’s not surprising they are struggling.

NC State and Clemson have both looked pretty good. UVA looks really good.

i think Wake is potentially going to be in alot of trouble. Having talent doesn't make you a good team.
Danny Manning has not proven to be a good bench coach yet - he has recruited well though. He's never won more than 21 games in the season or won a post season game (NCAA, NIT, CIB, etc).
Wake's defense still looks pretty crappy.

I think NCST might overperform. Especially with Beverly eligible, they have alot of talent. Probably top 5 or 6 in the league in terms of talent.

BC has been pretty good early on. Their starting 5 is really solid, they lack depth though.

I wonder how many of NC States players were seriously recruited by Duke or UNC? I agree they are talented, but they seem to be just below those two at almost every position.
