I'm not saying it WILL happen. But it wouldn't be that big of a shock to me.

Shocked that Notre Dame won that game rather easily.

Duke at Carolina is far from a guaranteed loss for the Heels. Duke will without a doubt lose at Chapel Hill.

I should find a better word.

What I mean is; when looking at the schedule, Dook is the only game I see an L. The other 5, I expect wins.

I do think UNC will lose at UMD, and possibly at Clemson and at home against N.C. State. I think it's very possible that the Heels finish with three more losses when you group in the possibility of losing to Duke as well (even though, as I said, Duke will not likely win in Chapel Hill).

I think Duke could easily lose three more games as well. Duke could lose at Virginia, against Miami (if Kelly doesn't return they will definitely lose to Miami) and at UNC.

So, to predict that a team should win out or easily win 5 of 6 in the ACC, especially this year, is not that realistic. IMO.

@PSBasketball: It's official: Syracuse and Georgetown on Saturday is a sell-out. The final number: A record-busting 35,012: http://t.co/Oq2AsRJA

Not sure there is a more striking home crowd in all of basketball. Period.

St. Louis is stomping on VCU. 34-13 late in the first.
Wichita State gets a road win over Indiana State. Sycamores have dropped 3 straight. Hard to see them getting an at large bid now.

Have really felt all week that Miami is riding way too high and are in a very vulnerable state right now due to perhaps overconfidence, not having been in this position before. Virginia within one point in Coral Gables with three minutes to play.

This would be Miami's first loss since Christmas day. I kind of hope Miami wins, though, because I would love to see two ACC teams have a chance at a one seed (if Duke doesn't really fuck it up over the last three weeks).

Please, someone beat Miami!!! Obviously I don't want Duke winning the ACC Regular Season, but I also don't really wanna see Miami run the table.


Carolina did win on the road tonight against an awful Georgia Tech team. 18-8, 8-5 ACC with 5 games to go. Big game at home against State on Saturday.

It's a good thing then that winning the ACC regular-season means nothing. I'd rather Duke not "win it" and be the first team to beat Miami this year, spoiling their attempt at the first undefeated 18-game ACC regular season.

Plus, as a loyal fan of the ACC, I am glad that Miami is in position to perhaps get a one seed. They have been a fantastic surprise this season. Although, certainly walking a tight rope recently. But who isn't.
