by a final of 95-88, already one of the mighty ACC teams knocked out ! Some analysts had WF going as far as the Sweet 16 ..... Guess NOT !

I hope the have 0 teams in the Elite 8. Would so make this season great.

I don't think any get to the Final 4, but I must admit I have Duke, UNC, and Louisville in the Elite 8

Both teams looks amazing offensively hitting a ton of shots. It made me think both defenses were non existent. I am hoping that this is why the ACC looked good. The teams there perhaps are not playing good defense. Otherwise, K. State will win it all (Laugh).

Yes, because the ACC's reputation comes from its bottom feeders... Not guaranteeing the ACC will dominate the tournament, but let's wait until the legit teams start playing. Was it not a few years back that they had 3 teams in the elite 8?

Yes, but if the ACC is given nice seeding, top teams gets to play in North Carolina (as an example each year), then their outcome looks better than deserved.

Most people aren't denying they have 3 legit teams and another 2 really solid teams at a minimum but it's bogus the hype they get too to bottom to the point that excuses are made for losing to NC State at home and Clemson had a real shot at gettin in the tournament. They didn't deserve 9 bids.

All ACC teams are not created equal. WF shouldn't have even made the play in game imo. I expect the higher seeds (UL, NC, Duke) to be tough outs.

Well I would hope the higher seeds would be harder to beat but I think everyone's point is maybe the ACC isn't as strong as the media wanted folks to believe.

Oh sure, the pundits love blowing some manure flavored ACC smoke but a lot of people on here swing wildly in the opposite direction. They're not the be all, end all that Bilas would have you believe but they're still the best BB conference by a wide margin imo (a lot like SEC FB).

It doesn't matter though, the best team in the tourney is from the poor little old SEC (and I'm not talking about Arkansas ).

To be fair, KSU was in 6th place in the Big 12 and Wake was in 10th place in the ACC

Their reputation comes from fake classes, jewelry purchases, buying whores for minors, and diddling children.

Expected a little better showing from WF but K-State did shoot the lights out. Cincy could have a problem

Losing to an evenly matched team doesn't prove anything about this ACC lol. Just like if Vandy wins one game it won't prove that they deserved a 9 seed. It's all about matchups.


As for losing to NC State at home, that's a bad loss, but it happens in conference play against rivals sometimes. Did unc not lose to Georgia tech? Kansas to TCU?

KSU was favored by 2, so it was not a surprise.

KSU scored 88 in Low Rents but lost on 2 horrific calls including a no dribble layup starting at half court by Mykusucksacholok.
