[CreamyGoodness]

Who gets more minutes tonight: MCClinton or Cigs? That is the question

I'm telling you man, we need to get cigs an oxygen tank to get that man 15-20 mpg

Let's see...

Their best scorers are Forwards (good for Wake)
Their best guard is 6'3" or shorter (good for Wake)
Today is Tuesday (good for Pitt)
We're on the road (good for Pitt)
They've lost 5 of their last 7 and 3 in a row (good for Wake)
We've lost 10 straight (good for Pitt)
They're a lot better than us on offense (good for Pitt)
They're a lot better than us on defense (good for Pitt)
This is basketball so anything can happen (good for Wake)

Feels like another "beat the spread but lose the game" night.

Fun Fact:

Ben Howland (turned us down) is 10-14 overall and 3-9 in the SEC with a win over @ Missouri in his first year there. Ben Howland has more conference road wins than Danny in his first year :rulz:

Those 2 alone spell certain defeat.

I decided to put $500 on the Deacs to cover the spread tonight. If I win then the wife will be treated to a dinner at Ryan's, if we lose though, she will never know I made the bet

 

[Demonwolverine]

We could be down by 4 with 5 minutes left, and not only would I feel as though we wouldn't win, I would be willing to bet we don't cover.

 

[Atlanta Deacon]

Deacs lead 34-26 at half. Lose the game 74-66.

Manning stands there with his hands at his side as we give up a 14-0 run midway through the 2nd half.

Don't forget that DM does have a win at LSU (Miss. State lost at LSU). So, Danny does have as many SEC road wins as Howland.

How in the hell did we beat LSU, Indiana, and UCLA?

How in the hell did we beat LSU, Indiana, and UCLA?

They're probably wondering that themselves.

 

[Pazdadeac]

Gonna have to pull it off the ocean floor and get it floating first.

That's good... Maybe check Easter island for some of the washed up pieces, as well.

Nothing captures the thrill and tradition of ACC basketball like a Tuesday night game in Pittsburgh. Except maybe one in Syracuse or Boston or South Bend.

Or, of course the New York Life ACC Basketball Tournament in Washington DC.
