Salisbury University (MD) tonight became the first non-D1 school to beat a D1 this season, though they only beat Delaware State, one of many terrible teams in the MEAC this year.

elsewhere in games teams shouldn't lose, Louisville lost at home to Furman and Oklahoma State to Oakland

NC State is either about to lose to or barely escape Colgate at home, and it's a preview of what their season is going to be without Manny Bates on the interior, teams with actual talent inside will just score at will on them

Oh well, not like they were going to be a good team anyway

very solid win for Florida pulling away late against a Florida State team that as, in absence of any other obvious candidates, widely considered to be the 2nd best team in the ACC

again all signs pointing to a very down year for the ACC, actually on evidence so far I'd have to say VT is the only team that really looks like pushing Duke at all

NC State came back from 12 down at the half against Louisville to take a 4-point lead with 3 minutes left and I was disturbingly close to believing in them but fortunately they just tossed up absolute garbage shots from there and lost without scoring any more points

I have decades of experience of NC State making GBS threads the bed, especially late in games, but this year's team is something special. Had a bad Miami team on the ropes and then gave up a 17-2 run to get blown away in the final minutes. This is a Sidney Lowe level team, and there's not a single comfortable win on the schedule from here with the possible exception of BC in Raleigh in late February.

once in a while, like the first half tonight at Louisville, NC State provides this glimpse of what they could be like as a functional basketball team and it's actually more frustrating than if they didn't

meanwhile the VT-UVA game is as awful as you'd expect but it's not entirely Virginia's fault this time

At least NC State has a basketball team that can clutch a comeback. But it ain't the men's team.



it's pretty amazing what Wes Moore has built up with the women's program, which was respectable under Kay Yow but never among the best in the nation. Their two ACC titles have been the first by any Wolfpack team in a revenue sport since, debatably, baseball in 1992 (last women's bb title was 1991, the men haven't since 1987, and football was 1979).

They took a tough loss in the NCAAs last year (and obviously 2020 got wiped out) but I think everyone is very hopeful that this is the year they finally get back to the Final Four, or at least out of the Sweet 16 for the only time other than the miracle 1998 run.

UVA showed signs of life today in beating Miami but it could also as easily be the Canes regressing to the mean. Virginia will get stomped twice by Duke in their last 7 games and still has to go to Miami and to VT so still likely way too late to salvage this season.

Virginia Tech lost to Clemson today—Hokies just couldn't seem to catch a break this season, probably no way through to the tournament now but to win the ACCT (which is going to be chaos, so, possible).

They were the unluckiest team in the ACC, at least as KP measures it. Northwestern, obviously, was the unluckiest team in D1.

so now if Jacksonville doesn't beat Bellarmine in the conference final then the regular season champ, Jacksonville State, would get the autobid despite losing to Jacksonville in the semis

The Hercules Tires Big South Tournament Final is live now between Winthrop and Longwood. Either of them would be a pretty solid 16 seed if they can keep clear of the play-ins.

Also NC State's women's team is going for a third consecutive ACC Tournament title right now, after winning the regular season title for the first time since 1990.
