ACC Discussion

[Peacone36]

Archie is in a position where he can pick which job he wants to go to next, so he can make sure it is one he feels he will succeed at.

Ohio St is in that tier below the blue bloods. Similar to the Texas opportunity for Shaka IMHO

Interesting games so far tonight.
BC is up 10 on ND at halftime (shooting 58% FG, 55% 3FG).
Clemson is up 12 on Wake with 3 min to play in first half
Pitt up 11 on VT at halftime.

All home teams with significant leads so far.

 

[CuseJacket]

ND favored by 9.5
Clemson favored by 3.5
Pitt favored by 5.5

Would be a bad loss for VT, am I right @Peacone36?

 

[RyanS12]

I took everyone of those games and Kentucky -15
ND is getting rolled by BC down 10 at half. Everyone else is covering.

If they had Clarke, yes

 

[RamblinRed]

Clemson still crushing Wake - Wake has a high RPI due to a high SoS, but is 0-8 against the Top 50.
ND has come back and taken lead in Boston
VT and Pitt tied 5 min to play.

Also, TN is getting spanked by KY

 

[CuseJacket]

If they had Clarke, yes

Ya know 'Cuse had 2 guys out, right? And Clarke isn't worth 5.5 points. No player in CBB is, except Lammers.

And VT is going to win anyways so it doesn't matter

Bad loss by Pitt. CBG-esque.

 

[Peacone36]

Sure. Whatever

 

[RamblinRed]

Nice win for VT. Pretty much takes away any last chance of Pitt trying to make a run to bubble status.

BC loses despite another big scoring output by FR Ky Bowman - 29 pts.

TN lost to KY and their RPI went up, but at 13-12 they are basically done unless they win out.

ACC bubble watch is a little insane, At this point there are still 12 teams fighting for NCAA bids, only BC, NCST and Pitt are done.

 

[RyanS12]

Pitt and ND got me

 

[RamblinRed]

Clemson with a win over Wake. Wake desperately needs a couple of wins over Top 50 teams.

 

[CuseJacket]

Sure. Whatever

You know your stuff, and ya got me confused on this one.

No surprises this evening. The high likelihood meme held serve. Let's hope we break service tomorrow night in Miami.

 

[CuseJacket]

VT was a 5.5 point underdog in Vegas. KenPom had VT as an underdog too, which ignores injuries if I understand correctly. What am I missing? Why was VT winning a foregone conclusion?

 

[jeffgt14]

Told y'all I don't think Wake can win more than 2 more games the rest of the way. They're basically done. Great to see VT pull it off because I want no part of the 9 seed and most likely playing Miami in the tournament. Rather have the extra game against BC.

The Vegas gurus are not picking winners. Why does this misunderstanding persist?

 

[CuseJacket]

The Vegas gurus are not picking winners. Why does this misunderstanding persist?

You make any money on this high likelihood bet? Why was KenPom so wrong?

Not many systems better than Vegas in predicting the outcome. I don't know many consistently beating them.

I'm done being salty.

Assumed you were giving me $hit
