This ball was played perfectly by Peurifoy. Just inches for getting it.

Yes; but for this tournament, this sets things up for UVA. Their game tomorrow morning (1st of tourney for them) v Duke, will be the one that matters to get them to Sat. So win that, they're in & they probably have a full bullpen available for Sat/Sun. Friday.. they play Clemson & can rest folks.Clemsoning to Duke 3-6. That has to hurt and I'd rather have had Clemson win. But Clemson will be a lower NCAA seed. For a while it looked like they were a host.
Started at 2pm. Plan seems to be 60 min turnaround between games.Last time I checked, the 11 o'clock game was starting at 2pm.
Wonder if CDH & Wake coach could get together & agree not to play it. Probably not, this ain't 13&14 babe Ruth league. Man would Miami be pissed if that happened.
Well, another option is to just throw 3 strikes over and over and over but we walk guys around the bases once. Could probably finish an entire game in 20 minutes.
We can't not play, it would be unfair to the other teams in our bracket.
I understand your comment in theory, but in practice I think the impact on Wake would be minimal.
I think the problem is the game format and time of scheduling which has been discussed. But trying to get 12 teams a "fair" shake in 5 days on one field (the original plan) probably isn't possible.
All that said though, I would like to see Wake win the bracket and wouldn't mind screwing Miami if we could.
Thinking of Wake, specifically. I have not paid attention to the national seed picture enough to know. However, I believe at one point this season, the ACC had 3 projected national seeds: Lou, UNC, Clem. You think Wake could enter that discussion with 4-0 run this weekend?I understand your comment in theory, but in practice I think the impact on Wake would be minimal.

Wake will definitely be a regional host, but in order for them to be a national seed, I think that they need to win the ACC tourney (not necessarily go 4-0).Thinking of Wake, specifically.

Gives "meaning" to their game against us today which happens to be their 1st game of the 4 they could play.
No. Only game played at all was FSU v ND. See fine print. The NOON games today & tomorrow are being played at U of L's baseball field.So did part of the UNC game get played last night? I can't find any details, but it must have if it is scheduled for 11 and ours at 12. This seems really strange.
