ACC Tourney thread

I am getting worried about Scheyer.

His shooting is really tailing off...i think he is tiring.

Ok first half of the finals overall...Not great basketball though. Duke should be up by a lot more than they are.

Sounds like the past two games.

This game reminds me of the Maryland game. One team is playing slightly better than the other but unable to pull away while the other keeps fighting back but can't get on a real run or break through.

One-point game with 48 seconds left. Wow.

EDIT: Jon Scheyer sucks :cussing:

Hell of a shot there. Might have been the dagger Duke needed about fifteen minutes ago.

If Favors was inclined to do so, I think he could dominate virtually every game. He just doesn't work very hard most of the time and the team doesn't feel the post well. I'd be worry about him deciding to go hard the rest of the game if I'm a Duke fan.

SG is right. Favor is by far the best player on the floor. He is the most talented player in the ACC.

Favors is ridiculously good...I haven't seen much of Cousins down in Kentucky but its hard to believe he is any better than Favors..I am so glad he is leaving after this season.

9 out of 12 titles for Duke...I don't care if you love them or hate them, to do that in this league is amazing.

They own this tourney right now.

Congrats to Duke. They earned this game.

GT should be very proud. They played extremely hard and fairly well today.

I don't think either team played all that well. If Tech had really played well, they would have won by a solid margin and pulled away late as Duke fouled. If Duke had really played well, they would have won by 20 and it would have been over by the ten-minute mark.

But neither team gave up, despite how demoralized Tech looked at times, so both teams should get that credit. They both also picked up their play late, and since Duke had the lead they were able to keep it.

Seriously. They are on a hell of a run.

Still suck, though

4 games in 4 days for GT...3 games in 3 days for Duke.

They were both tired but they played well when you factor that in.

Hey Seth...We are 1 ahead of you.

Since 1999, Duke is 30-3 in the ACC tourney.

Seth Davis just gave WVU the last #1 seed over dook.

God it pains me to my core to say it....but congrats to Duke and Coach K. He's the best coach in college basketball, and I think he'll go down as one of the top 2-3 of all time when it's all said and done. He manages to do a heck of a lot with limited rosters sometimes.

I'm really shocked that GT didn't do better in the ACC this year. They have one absolute lock lottery pick in Favors (most talented big man in the nation), another first round pick in Lawal, and some solid depth. I'm shocked Hewitt couldn't do more with all of that talent, although their guard play is spotty.

Yeah but what's Towson's record in the CAA Tourney since 1999?

Who cares?

4 games in 4 days for GT...3 games in 3 days for Duke.

They were both tired but they played well when you factor that in.

Neither team really had legs, and it showed. Even though Tech was the one that had to play four days in a row, they have a deeper bench and they did a good job of making Duke exert a lot of energy just to get the ball over the half-court line. The level of effort by both teams in this game was great, even if everyone looked tired.

[NewMarketSean]

Who cares?

Sorry...I just don't feel like being involved in a Duke slurping contest. We don't slurp the Yankees when they win the World Series so I don't feel like hearing it about Duke either. Especially from someone who went to Towson.
