I've heard good things about Cook Out from people that live in the Carolinas, but this just confirms I'll have to eat there if/when I travel out that way:

It is literally impossible to spend more than 20-25 bucks at a Cook-Out and still have enough car space for the resulting mountain of styrofoam. Also, you can have up to 8 flavors in a milkshake prior to that topping, including sweet tea, Cheerwine, or whatever else you can talk the stoner staff into at 3:30 AM.

edit: oh hey NC State actually decided to show up tonight, nice

Dennis Smith Jr. had the first ever NC State triple double in ACC play tonight. Only the second in program history, other was Julius Hodge.

Also first time breaking 100 in the ACC since 1991.

NC State is going to lose to Boston College.

In related news, NC State is going to miss the tournament with a roster featuring two lottery picks and adequate talent elsewhere, and Gottfried might get one more year but his days (and possibly AD Debbie Yow's) are numbered.

the NC State team van broke down on the way to their own arena today, which works as metaphor for season and program both.

So that was State's first win at Duke since 1995. Of course, they went off home-and-home with them after the mid-2000s expansion, but that's still a lot of games.

I don't get how a team capable of this and the VT game is also capable of losing to...pretty much everyone else in the conference. But for tonight at least, there's this (and it might even be better for not counting):

I'm sure Villanova will respond in the second half, but so far at least UVA has put on an absolute clinic. Only reason it's still single digits is Villanova getting lots of calls and hitting their free throws.

I can't see it happening yet, if only because of the almost universal improvements in the non-revenue sports. Maybe anyone could have done that after the Fowler years though.

Seriously, I still can't believe that Lee Fowler was allowed to be in an administrative post for any organization, much less a large, pretty well funded university with history and a decent reputation.

Gonzaga beat BYU last night, so at St. Mary's is the last regular-season game they have any real chance of losing. Also they won by 10; last game they even had in single-digits was two months ago against Arizona.

They're so, so bad. I wish the Kentucky game was on the road just to see how badly they could lose to them.

Not that it's going to be a lot closer at home, but maybe a little.

Worst game of the Tony Bennett era at UVA. Wouldn't have been close even if they hit a few of the open 3s they kept missing.

Sure, but damned if it didn't work against a UNC offense that has been cruising lately. Even with a good ACCT showing they're probably a 4/5 at best, but as long as Perrantes is actually back again, some 1 seed or another is going to hate having them in the bracket.

There's probably not a team in the country better set up to beat UVA than WV though.
