Official ACC tourney thread (all excluding Duke)

[GhostOf301]

Who do y'all feel better about for tomorrow, Louisville or Clemson?

I kinda feel like Duke beats either. But in order for Duke to beat every team in the ACC this year, Clemson needs to come back tonight.

I want clemson

We had to rally to beat UL via Flagg who wont be available...and we lost to Clepson...so either w/o Flagg is going to be a tough win

I'll be drinking no matter who it is.

 

[bullcity gamer]

Rather have Clemson to avenge the loss to them, but either team will give Duke a great test tomorrow night

It is Louisville. Feel like without Cooper we have a better chance of winning.

Just watched the presser with Jon, Kon and Tyrese. What struck me is the intelligence and class; which is what initially drew me to cheer for Duke in the Amaker/Dawkins days. Just really smart athletes.
Jon was asked about Cooper. He said Cooper was feeling better, but did add "he sprained it pretty good."

Just an interesting, first-time happening: Because teams were excluded from the ACCT, Miami ends their terrible season with a win. In previous years when no ACC team wins the national championship or lesser postseason tourneys, no ACC team could finish the season with a win. For the first time ever, we're guaranteed at least one conference member ends the year with a win.

No consolation for them, but it's an interesting statistical first for the ACC.

Same for me Chris. Duke has been getting a lot of top high school recruits over the years, and while some of our friends down the road likely disagree, they a generally (not always) pretty darn classy people. Kon certainly has that, but more impressive is Cooper to me. You can see what a competitive spirit he has, but he never seems to engage in jawing with other players, and I am SURE he gets a lot of chatter on the floor being the player that he is. He'll do the flex when he makes a big play, but it's never in an opponents face. I like that a lot.

I could do without the flex myself. But I'm old school.
