Appeasing Blue and myself of course.Maybe this is mentioned somewhere in this thread and I missed it, but what in the world is the tournament doing in DC?
When did they confirm this? I saw the announcement of the next 5 Men's ACCT being awarded to NC, did the tax incentives deal for relocating the headquarters guarantee the 2030-2034 tournaments to NC as well?The next 10 ACC tournaments will be in NC. Does that make you happy? The ACCT was last played in DC in 2016. UNC beat UVA in a great atmosphere.
There are lots of alums of ACC schools in the DC area. It's ok to occasionally play the ACCT in other markets.
And Staak's two ACC wins were over Maryland.that 1987 tournament was the Bob Staak 2-12 regular season year (Wade and Maryland went 0-14, the year after Bias died)
In two games at the ACCT, Muggsy had 38 points, 17 assists, 10 rebounds, 4 turnovers. He played 39 minutes in the upset over Clemson but only 32 minutes (he had 4 fouls) in the 2OT heartbreaker to NCST.
My Dad was still doing the radio coverage. Clemson radio guys gave him their press passes after 1st round loss. He called me in W-S and asked if I wanted to come up. I did not want to make the drive. Regret it to this dayAnd Staak's two ACC wins were over Maryland.
That was an exciting tourney. State beat #3 Seed Duke and Wake beat #2 Seed Clemson in the quarters, then both semifinal games went to 2OT. State beat UNC in the Finals, after UNC went 14-0 in the regular season.
Who was your dad, if I may ask? Thanks!My Dad was still doing the radio coverage. Clemson radio guys gave him their press passes after 1st round loss. He called me in W-S and asked if I wanted to come up. I did not want to make the drive. Regret it to this day

Wake's ACC Tournament results in DC area:
1976- Quarterfinal Loss to Clemson (0-1)
1981- Quarterfinal Win over Clemson, Semifinal loss to UNC (1-2)
1987- Quarterfinal Win over Clemson, Semifinal loss to NCSU (2-3)
2005- Quarterfinal Loss to NCSU (2-4)
2016- First Round Loss to NCSU (2-5)
In 7 games, Clemson or NCSU has been our opponent in 6 of them. This year we wouldn't meet either of them until the Finals. So let's hope the "tradition" of playing Clemson or NCSU in DC continues.
That she’s in Washington, D.C. this week to watch the team fight for an NCAA Tournament berth is a serious step in the right direction.
I believe they've only announced through 2029 but yeah the next five are Charlotte, Charlotte, Greensboro, Charlotte, Greensboro.The next 10 ACC tournaments will be in NC. Does that make you happy? The ACCT was last played in DC in 2016. UNC beat UVA in a great atmosphere.

Warning: this is a deeply cynical take
I feel like it was pretty standard in that era to have no names on your home jerseys, and names on the away jerseys.I had forgotten we went NNOB on those uniforms
I would say that it is a positive human interest story which provides good press for the program. I don't think you need to prescribe any further reasoning to it... Positive press is reason enough.Warning: this is a deeply cynical take
is it possible the AD is trying to pitch these articles to deflect from (tbh) fairly disappointing results on the court? i feel horrible even typing it, but Baghdad Ron would've done this kinda shit in a hot minute.
of course glad to hear they are progressing and totally appreciate it's been a challenging year personally for Coach and family.
