A Pitt loss this weekend would also put us into the Tournament. Pitt plays at Notre Dame. If we get swept and Pitt loses once, we would take the tie-breaker over them based on divisional record.

He may have been the table alternate somewhere, but he did not officiate a game. He did an NIT game last week.

As usual, simply considering officials who worked this year's ACC Tournament as "ACC officials", even though they're all free-lancers. Sean Hull and Bernard Clinton were the only two officials in Greensboro that did not get selected for the NCAA Tournament at all. I'll list them by the last...

Has an ACC team ever played in the CBI?

In any event, we have been eliminated from bowl consideration. There are now enough bowl-eligible teams to fill all slots. (Currently at 71--70 if GT loses, with Pitt and UCONN still having shots next weekend).

We were planning on doing Brothers for the hoops game Friday night.

I certainly don't begrudge the guy for selling his tickets. They're his tickets and he can do whatever the hell he wants to do with them, obviously. But this is one of the reasons I enjoy collegiate sports (well, Wake) a lot better than professional sports. I could never do that with my Wake...

Sonny Vaccaro, World Wide Wes, and the rise of AAU basketball and its impact on the college game.

Schedule will be released at 2pm today.

The Vandy game this year is also at Wake.

And Wake is not a bad job. I never said it was. I said its a very difficult job--which I believe it is. Maybe someone can pull this without Wikipedia--but I wonder how many major conference schools that consider men's basketball their flagship, identity program for their athletic...

I don't disagree with that. But I'd also point out that (outside of BC--and even they can recruit Boston)--none of those other schools have to compete (for recruits and on the floor multiple times a year) with Duke and Carolina. Not to mention NC State, Maryland, (and soon Pitt and Syracuse)...

No. I don't think they are better jobs than Wake. Are most of them easier jobs than Wake? Yes, I believe they could be. You either have no expectations (no one cares at all), or a natural recruiting base, or an easier conference, etc. My only point here is that we're in the deep end of the...

I'll stand by it, with the caveat that I'm using my definition of "toughest jobs". I think its easier to win consistently (over a 10-year period) at any of those 5 schools than it is at Wake. I am handicapping us by being in the ACC. By having Duke and Carolina down the road. By not having a...
