ACC Prediction Contest

Ok, so now I'm making this a game. As of right now, Rell and I are signed up. If you want to play, you have to get your entry in before the first ACC conference game (which I believe is UNC @ VT). Let me know if you want to play, and I can send you a blank grid of all the games.

ACC Basketball Predictions

Well, I haven't been too on so far with these predictions, but I'm gonna try again:

Notes:
• I think the teams at the top will lose a few more games, and the teams at the bottom will win a few more, but I just can't see where. Still, I'd be very surprised to see four teams actually finish with only 3 wins.
• According to this, the final standings would be:
  • 1. UNC (13-3)
  • 1. GT (13-3)
  • 3. dook (12-4)
  • 3. Wake (12-4)
  • 5. Maryland (11-5)
  • 6. NC State (8-8)
  • 7. Virginia (7-9)
  • 8. Clemson (3-13)
  • 8. Miami (3-13)
  • 8. Florida State (3-13)
  • 8. Virginia tech (3-13)
• If it did work out this way, I would think that Virginia would have a good shot at making it to the NCAA tournament, despite the 7-9 record in the ACC. Those 7 loses would have all come to very highly ranked teams (except for VT), they have a good out of conference record (and are ranked in the top 25 before ACC play), and the ACC is very strong this year.
• Finally, if I just guess final record, without guessing each game, my final standings come out more like this:
  • 1. GT (13-3)
  • 2. UNC (12-4)
  • 3. dook (11-5)
  • 3. Wake (11-5)
  • 5. Maryland (9-7)
  • 5. NC State (9-7)
  • 7. Virginia (8-8)
  • 8. Clemson (5-11)
  • 9. Miami (4-12)
  • 10. Florida State (3-13)
  • 10. Virginia tech (3-13)
• In this situation, the ACC easily gets 7 NCAA bids, sending Georgia Tech, North Carolina, dook, Wake, Maryland, NC State, and Virginia, with Georgia Tech and North Carolina getting 1 seeds.

Heels Thrash Ramblers...

So we looked a bit sloppy, and had only a few practices cause it was exam week, and we still won 109-60. As Dan pointed out, had Loyola held UNC scoreless in the second half, they would have lost 63-60. We had 24 assists on 38 field goals. Not too shabby.

Roy, on the next game in Blacksburg, VA against VT:

I want us to have a couple of good days of practice so we can be sharper than we were today, when we go up to Blacksburg. I think they'll be excited. It's going to be their first ACC game. We have to make sure that we match that enthusiasm. The reason I emphasize that is because in the locker room I said, 'first AC game,' and they were wondering about the air conditioner up there.
