First game into the books with ND beating GT 84-80 so they get Wake.

GT blew that one after making a huge comeback.

I kinda think GT would have beaten Wake. I think ND runs out of gas tomorrow and Wake wins semi-comfortably.

NC State going to beat UL but not helping their NET move up towards 75. Syracuse next.

They lost, but Skyy Clark absolutely went off for Louisville. 36 points on 12-17 from the field, 7-9 on threes, and 5-5 from the line.

Louisville has top half ACC talent. BballinsiderfromPitt was half-right on that. He just failed to factor in Kenny Payne

Was there any studio discussion about Pitt? Bilas has been supportive.

The CBS pod spent about 15 minutes going over every single bubble result from the weekend. Like 20 teams talked about. Teams that were basically in. Teams that had no shot. Pitt wasnt even mentioned. To be fair, it had to be an oversight. Also, those 2 guys salivate over the Mountain West to the point I wouldn't be surprised if they beat off to MWC games.

The "Nothing but Net" AACN guys (Luke at Boeheim) both supported Pitt getting a bid

They pretty much just shill for the league. That's what they do at conference networks.

I could see Jimmy Dykes shilling for LSU & Vandy getting bids.

I’m sure Bill Walton has 6 PAC 12 teams in too 😂

 

[SteelBowl70]

FSU strong win over VT but they won’t beat UNC
Wake in control so far as Burton only has 5

 

[NTOP]

Can't believe I'm rooting for ND.

 

[SteelBowl70]

Wake up 11 and keeping the ND guards at bay. Seem to be about to blow them out. Young Irish guards are frustrated.

We pretty much knew it was gonna be Wake on Thurs in a loser is probably out game. So that’s how it should be if Pitt wants to get into the tournament they ate gonna have to earn it. There should be no doubts what so ever about them being in come Sunday evening if they beat Wake tomorrow none what so ever.

 

[SteelBowl70]

if NC State can finish strong maybe they can get their NET to 75

The teams ahead of them in net will all lose this week at some point as well.

 

[Blair_45]

Yea they are up 15 now with 4 minutes left so it would be nice if NC State got their NET up to 75 and Pitt beats Wake tomorrow that would give Pitt 2 more Quad 1 wins which would be huge.

 

[Chairman Moe]

Syracuse has 17 turnovers; NC ST has 28 points off of them

And another Q2 home win

 

[SteelBowl70]

UNC not even breaking a sweat today.

 

[pittpsu]

UNC not even breaking a sweat today.

2 team fouls at halftime? Wow

 

[Protes]

UNC not even breaking a sweat today.

Yep. I was hoping FSU would at least take something out of them today.

My fear too is repeat of last year where we won the first game and then were blown out by Duke. I want the shot at UNC. Just hope that's not how it plays out.

 

[HailToPitt725]

T-Minus 20mins… it’s go time!

 

[SteelBowl70]

Phillips saying that 6 ACC teams should be in. He is making the case that ACCT is 21-10 over the last 2 years. Good for him.
