Bad ACC Hoops Night
- Thread starter DC_Area_Panther

In fairness, FSU's roster appears to be pretty decimated by injuries. I believe the announcers mentioned last night that at one point vs Troy FSU only had 5 scholarship players available due to both injuries and foul trouble. FSU is now 0-3, I believe. Troy is 3-0.
Also, BC played without their post who sat due to injury.

We have enough of our own problems to even think about what is happening in the rest of the ACC. And those problems are many and systemic at this point. We'll know soon enough how those other teams are stacking up when we get to play them.
PAC 12 is losing a lot. TCU is really struggling early, probably should have lost first game, lost last night too.
Big 10 only conference really unscathed right now.
Lots of pretty good players transferred down. Michigan struggled vs Eastern Michigan due to 6-10 Emoni Bates who transferred to EMU from Memphis due to a prior connection there. Bates scored 30 in an 88-83 loss to Michigan.
The portal has been a big boost to mid/low majors who can properly use it. The leash is shorter at the high major level so guys who struggle or have injury issues are getting passed over quicker due to the portal so the trickle down effect is that schools are able to lure guys they previously never would’ve had a chance with due to the appeal of available minutes/location/potential NIL opportunities.
Louisville is embarrassing. I think there is a team on the schedule where Capel may have the coaching advantage
I didn't know he was there when I was watching the game. I was thinking who is this dude and why is he at EMU. EMU looked like they had better athletes than Pitt all-around. I only watched maybe 10 minutes of game time and EMU looked like they had better players than us. They lead for most of the game.
Cuse has a tendency many seasons to lose one ormore of these early OOC games and still come back strong later in the season. Boeheim having his zone defense not fully tuned up early may account for these early "surprise" losses?
What happened to Florida St and Louisville? Both 0-3
FSU losses to Stetson, UCF and Troy
Louisville losses to App st, Bellarmine, Write St.

I wouldn't count on it
either. However I did
watch the game. L'Ville
is bad, real bad right
now. WVU actually
looked better vs Pitt,
than what I've seen from
some ACC teams so far.
Yes, I know it's early.
Pitt is not playing a
typically cupcake pre
league schedule. We
have, WVU, Michigan,
either VCU or Az. ST,
Northwestern and Vandy.
Throw in Dec. ACC games
with NC. ST, Cuse, and
North Carolina, and it's
a tougher than normal
start to the seaason.
Again, I don't see a coach on the Pitt schedule anywhere that is worse than Capel. He has them all beaten by a mile.
