ACC Tourney

North Carolina missed 11 free throws and lost by 3. Kind of warms your heart doesn’t it.

The line from DraftKings for tonight is

• FSU favored by 4
• GT +150
• FSU -190
• Over/Under 148 (so, we cross that 69 point barrier that we tend to win past)

I didn’t see a preview of this game (yet), but it’s a similar matchup to the last time we played, so here’s a preview of the last time we played, from the FSU fans point of view. The Charlotte Observer weighs in.

Good luck, everyone!

If we beat FSU tonight we have earned the title. FSU is playing well and is a huge challenge for pretty much anyone right now. No whining or gnashing of teeth about how we got here. It will come down to Jose's knee and if we can make shots unless they simply overwhelm Moses inside.

I agree with this. Winning tonight will be a serious challenge.

I’m not expecting to win. That’s okay. We’re not a Florida State or Gonzaga or whoever. Play a 5 game series and I’d pick them every time. BUT, anything can happen in basketball on any given night. We’re playing for a championship. Great exposure for the program, and great for the team. LFG!

We need 20 from Alvardo/ 17 from Wright/ 14 from DeVoe/ 10 from Usher to go with our usual defense to win this game tonight!

On November the 27th who would have thought we would have been playing for an ACC championship today

Also, both teams have had an additional bye and only had to play 1 game so far. Should be on similar rest.

We’d probably win once maybe twice in 5 games. We just need tonight to be one of those 5 games.

If we win the championship game today there will not be an asterisk on the banner hung in our gym or on the trophy.

At least until the NCAA finds out that someone gave a player a breath mint before an interview. At that point the NCAA will have to come down hard on GT to prove that they do take action and that they don't just let teams (UNC, Duke, Kentucky, Louisville, etc) get off when there is obvious evidence of rules breaking.

Pitt is currently the 2nd best team in the ACC and swept FSU on the road. Unfortunately up 8-4 in the 9th after all that hard work and bang - Bartnicki gives up 7 runs in less than 5 minutes. Crazy to lose at the very end after being up big the entire game.

I know. I watched.

My condolences.

Saw this posted elsewhere with regards to this year's ACC tourney.

...and the first time since '96 that neither Duke nor UNC was in the final.

LOL Isn't that the very reason for the existence of a fan message board.

No it’s not.

Heard and accepted. Ugh
