A Look Back

You probably know this by now, but the biggest news of the week was Larry Drew II leaving North Carolina.  He was immediately ripped by fans and experts alike (the word “quit” and phrase “addition by subtraction” probably started trending on Twitter) largely–in my opinion–because he didn’t tell the team his decision, instead letting his father do it for him.  It’s hard to tell if this is a case of “selfish kid” (as most have interpreted the story) or “overreaching parent.”  My [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2011/02/08/checking-in-on-the-acc-27/feed/ 1 The Week That Was: Jan. 11-Jan. 17 http://rushthecourt.net/2011/01/18/the-week-that-was-jan-11-jan-17/ http://rushthecourt.net/2011/01/18/the-week-that-was-jan-11-jan-17/#respond Tue, 18 Jan 2011 22:10:31 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=31338

Only three undefeated teams are left in the nation after Duke and Syracuse suffered their first losses of the season within the past week. Who will be the next team to go down? Ohio State travels to Illinois on Saturday and Kansas hosts Texas. TWTW wouldn’t be shocked if San Diego State is the only unbeaten team remaining in this space next week.

A Look Back

Another miserable week of basketball in the ACC.  By my count, the ACC notched zero good wins.  That said they only had three shots (Wake Forest against Richmond and Gonzaga or Miami at Duke).  The conference still managed to finish 15-7 (14-6 discounting the conference game), even against middling competition.

Bizarro Team of the Week:  Florida State.  Hands down.  Unanimous decision.  That’s what happens when you lose to a team projected to be the worst major conference team in Division I history.  [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2011/01/04/checking-in-on-the-acc-22/feed/ 0
