All Time ACCelerated Basketball Thread

Nah, Pitino will take as many grad transfers as he can. He will make it work.

 

If an athlete wants to further his education at a glorified community college then neither you or I should take issue with it.

 

We will suck

 

Frank Jackson's hiring an agent

excellent choice, lad

 

We're going to be thinner than Brandon Ingram next year

 

that is really thin

 

thinner than sean paul goatee hair

 

Isn't Duke the leader for Duval?

 

most rikery

 

see I was right, I'm so smart

 

Duke will be fine. Getting Duval and Tucker the last three days was big.

 

I really fuckin hate the name "Operation Basketball." Sounds like something a 60 year old man thought young people would think was cool.

 

is that the conference slogan or something?

 

what is that?

 

It's the media day they do every year with the coaches and two players from each team.

UNC and Duke aren't doing it this year because they're too cool for it even though they're some of the closest schools

It appears this news report that come up when I googled it was wrong. Looks like Greyson is coming and UNC is sending the whole squad. They must have fixed the compliance issue. http://www.syracuse.com/orangebaske...ging_players_to_acc_basketball_media_day.html

 

wow syracuse.com pushing fake news smdh

 

so many haters just looking to spread their hateful hate out there

 

Who is everyone rooting for this year?

Me, I'm going to pull for the Virginia Cavaliers.

 

eh I heard they're boring

 

anybody but Clemson

 

havent made a final decision but i am leaning towards georgia t

 

I don't like Pastner.

But in earnest responses I'll be pulling for Danny Manning and Wake. Would be fun to see them good again and I hope they don't slip back without Collins.

 

ABC

 

but but why? This post really hurt by the way Shiggity

 

just tired of your dynasty is all

 

In basketball?

 

Some people are jealous of our lockdown of missing the NIT.

 

of course silly

Bonzie

I also am just now looking at our schedule. That is a really tough schedule this year. Road games to file, Uva, and UNC. Multiple Saturday-Mondays as well. But I'm excited for basketball season

 

Remember when Duke was like a unanimous pick for first last year lmao

 

can't wait for all the "grayson allen is a reformed man" puff pieces

 

Matt Farrell not getting second team preseason is some discrimination against 5'10" white guys

 

believe the acc has 2 of the 5 preseason all americans too

 

Finally a sport to get excited about, hopefully things aren't too ugly until Berry gets back

 

bucknell is a final 4 contender so that will be a toughie

 

plus Northern Iowa again

 

I hope he plays like an asshole; I would rather have 25 games of asshole Grayson than 30 games of neutered Grayson

 

Pitt and Wake have announced their official resignations from the sport of basketball

 

Hate to see you go!

 

I like Wake and I'm rooting for Danny Manning but it's starting to feel like one of those "Once it all comes together for this guy" guys where it never comes together.

 

Not going to make excuses for that GaSo loss, only watched the last 5 minutes. But GaSo did play well from what I saw. Still, cant lose home openers to mid majors.

Defense is terrible. Best argument for why Manning wont break through. Its been at issue every season including Friday, and he doesnt seem to be strong at in-game adjustments.

But he has a pretty solid recruiting class coming in. He's been a good, not great, recruiter. Id expect Bryant Crawford to leave, but otherwise the talent should be as good as we've had since Gaudio's 1st/2nd season. So talent points towards Manning trajectory still on the incline.

 

turns out if you recruit 5* players they're really good. VT might be pretty good this year.

 

UVA almost scored 100. It’s a good thing we didn’t because if UVA ever scores 100 they have to cancel basketball forever.

 

#Pittsburgh Panthers are terrible at basketball this year. FYI

 

I'd set the O/U at 1.5 wins for them in conference this year.

 

Grizzzzzzzzz!

 

Wake Forest wyd
