ACC Tournament Preview: Syracuse Over North Carolina For the Crown

Lathan Wells — Wed, 12 Mar 2014 14:20:27 +0000

The 61st annual ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament will tip off Wednesday in Greensboro. This should be one of the more entertaining tournaments of recent years, as every team has something to play for from bottom to top. It’s startling that so many are dismissing Virginia, who just won their first outright ACC regular season championship in 33 years. Syracuse has been left for dead after once being projected to be the overall number one seed in the NCAA Tournament, losing four of their last six to close the regular season. Duke and North Carolina need late runs to continue to improve [...]

Three Key Takeaways.

Don’t try to Get Away with Anything at the end of a close Game. Officials in this year’s NCAA Tournament games have made a point of calling small violations in the final seconds of games.

The NCAA is starting to scare us a little bit with the news today that the Final Four will be held in warm-weather venues from 2011-13. Surely they don’t expect us to stay in our rooms during the interminable wait from F4 Saturday night to Monday night’s championship. Don’t they know that basketball is a cold-weather sport? That you should see your breath as you huddle outside the arena waiting to get inside, where the scents of metallic air ducts mix with wet clothing and hot dogs in an olfactory orgy of late winter sensations?
