    ACC (and the other lolconferences) Basketball Tournaments

    Anyone interested in the #1 Men's Basketball Conference's tournament?

    I'm a 2005 UNC Grad, so obviously I am a huge basketball fan. I was wondering if anyone else here had any opinions or speculations about this years tournament!

    My predicton:
    BC will beat VT to win the ACC title. UNC will lose tomorrow against FSU

    Opening Round (Thursday)
    FSU 67, Clemson 66 Final
    Miami 67, Maryland 62 Final
    dook* vs. NC State 7 PM
    GA Tech vs Wake 9:30 PM

    Quarterfinals (Friday)
    Carolina vs. FSU Noon
    BC vs. Miami 2:30
    Virginia vs. 7
    Virginia Tech vs. 9:30

    lol, hi Bart.

    GT will win the 1st round tonight, and I think they've got a good shot at the Semifinals too. Probably won't make it past there though.

    Also, the tourney is in Tampa this year, which is far enough from NC that there's no true home court advantage. I bet some FSU fans will show up for the quarterfinals tomorrow though.

    edit: wth Maryland? Trailing to Miami... BC must be happy.

    I'm more into the Big East, because I'm a big Pitt fan. I also really like UNC though.

    The 3rd round of the Big XII tourney will be great. I'm predicting the third round will be Kansas vs Kansas State...and Texas A&M vs Texas. Then Championship will be.... Texas A&M over Kansas. :D

    Could happen, Kansas chokes constantly in the post season

    Kind of like Pitt

    I think the Big 12 is pretty awful after the top 3 Hope that doesn't piss you off too bad.

    Shad, if GTech isn't playing at home, they really struggle. I expect them to lose in the quarterfinals.

    Duke has a pretty decent shot at making the ACC finals...State, Virginia, and either VaTech or GaTech/Wake...only team of that group that is scary is GaTech, and they're only good at home. Plus, it IS the Duke Invitational

    My mute button will get a good workout asssuming Duke Vitale will be doing most of the games like he always seems to. Conference Tournaments are just fundraisers anyway. They just hold the time over until the best 2 days of the year starting at 12:20ish after a shortened noon news a week from today.

    Nah I agree with you. The top 3 in the Big XII are pretty fun to watch.

    Man.. they are doing that crappy big XII stuff here and it sucks.

    Every morning when I go to work now there are just morons everywhere downtown who don't know which way they are going and taking all my favorite parking spots.

    It takes me like 30min longer to get home too because of them..

    I can't wait till it is over and all the hicks get back to their farms.

    I mean seriously.. who the fuck gets off work in the middle of the day to go see a basketball game? Don't these people have jobs?

    If they go in higher seeded than 8th, I'll be pissed. (They will. Probably 5 or 6 at least.)

    lol, Shad how's that dominating Tech team doing? They were about to get whooped until refs called Wake for the latest, most bullshit foul on a three point shot. If you win this game make sure to give the refs some cred.

    If Wake wins that means today in the ACC:

    The 9 beat the 8 (done)
    The 12 beat the 5 (done)
    The 10 beat the 7 (done)
    The 11 beat the 6 (done)

    What a day. This is why this is the best conference in basketball.
