ACC tournament 1st round

[K Douglas]

Any college BB fans on board?? Did you see this:
Miami(12) beats Maryland (5)
Florida St(9) beats Clemson(8)
Wake Forest(11) beats Georgia Tech(6) (2OT)
NC State(10) beats Duke(7)(OT)

The lower seeds all won, I think that is precedent setting. This conference is the toughest in NCAA basketball. That Wake-GT game was crazy, FG% 65 and 57 respectively. Wake hit a better % on 3 pointers 16/23 than they did on FT's 30/48. Just nuts.
I think this year's NCAA tourney will be the craziest ever.

Was going to post this earlier but the only team that really surprised me here was Miami. (It's always a surprise to see Duke lose though).

I think the wolfpack has underachieved all year. They have shown flashes of excellence and beat ranked VT twice. They are in tough in the final though.

I'm pulling for them though, it would give them a guaranteed spot at the dance. But would probably knock out a bubble ACC team like Florida State or Georgia Tech.

Norm Rumack of the fan590 will be crying over the injustice of it all.

Syracuse Orange were left out of the tournament even though they had a better record than Villanova in the Big East; but, Villanova, got invited into the tournament instead of Syracuse.

Guess the loss to Notre Dame last Thursday in the Big East tournament did them in.

The orange were never contenders, despite Leo's little boy being there.
