ESPNACC

Last night on the portion I saw, they had 2's and 3's in the Final Four, and someone had a 2 winning it all.

I like to hate on ESPN as much as the next, but like someone else said 3 of the 4 1's are from the ACC and their viewership is east coast.

A game by game analysis would be nice though. But then people would be complaining how uninformed they are. They can't know every little detail about every team, that's insane. They have a budget and are suffering.

Can't believe I'm defending espn a little, i may need to go throw up.

IIRC that 2 was Kentucky. It doesn’t count.

Because of how unbearably boring the Virginia offense is and the Zion Williamson saturation, I'm feeling dirty because the North Carolina Cheatin' Roys are my second favorite number one seed.

I'm not sure Michigan State would have counted either.

Duke is going to lose to Texas Tech in the Final Four. Book it.

I'll Parlay that with a NC loss to Our very own Iowa State Cyclones in the E8 to finishing out a perfect 5-0 in KC

Bring on the Kool-aid!

Edit: North Carolina, not National Championship.
But I reserve the right to retract this statement at a later date if need be

This would be awesome! Sadly we may be able to take over the P&L, but taking over the Sprint Center would be very hard. Unless some big name donors wants to buy up tickets and give them out to some rowdy fans

On a related note, some excellent reporting from ESPN webpage, two stories about the tournament:

The ISU summary has this:

Marial Shayok (18.7 PPG) leads a team with four scorers who averaged double figures and employs key reserves Tyrese Haliburton and Nick Weiler-Babb in a strong rotation that fueled wins over Kansas (twice), Texas Tech and Kansas State (twice).

Power conferences are playing more games than ever nowadays, and it might have cost them some bids on Selection Sunday. Texas went 16-16 after finishing below .500 in Big 12 play; Indiana was left out after losing 15 games overall and 12 in the Big Ten; Alabama had 15 losses overall and 10 in the SEC; TCU went 7-11 and didn't hear its name called either. Had those teams replaced a couple of league games with two wins in nonconference play, they might be in the field.

They gave them a hell of a run the first time, unfortunately, I think Duke has improved a lot whereas, I'm not sure Tech has gotten much better.

idk I disagree. I think they are far more competent on Offense than they were to begin the year. Tech, with their style of D, can hang with anyone in the tourney. If their shots are falling, or they play anywhere near the level they did against us on Senior Night i would not be shocked if they did pull off the upset.

If we want ESPN to quit talking about the ACC, you know what has the happen. It won't stop until they get beat.
