Was really hoping Miami got to play FSU again. Nothing to play for and since its our rival, we might have actually gotten up to play them.

 

I could easily see any of Maryland,FSU,Clemson or GT being in the finals against Duke.

How come nobody is picking UNC? You guys are all fools.

 

A disastrous season was just a ploy to lull everyone into a false sense of security in ACC tourney time.

 

Marcus Ginyard is going to develop into a legit ACC starter.

 

Deon Thompson is going to decide against playing in the WNBA and show some toughness.

 

Larry Drew is going to retrieve his brain from California.

 

Will Graves is going to put down the weed and chips and guard somebody.

 

Roy Williams will actually use timeouts.

 

Just you wait and see.

So fathom, if Hewitt wins today does that save his job for another year?

 

What some of the best sources are saying, if they lose tonight and don't make the tourney, they will do everything in their power to fire him. The thing is, that decision has to be made by Monday, or else his contract rolls over another year. If they win tonight and make NCAA Tourney, and then go one and out, the AD will fire all the assistant coaches in an effort to get Hewitt to quit and settle for about half of the remaining contract. Everyone involved with GT wants Hewitt out, and the AD went as far to say last night that everyone knows there's "unique circumstances" relating to the job evaluation of Hewitt. Unique = ridiculous contract signed by previous AD.

Sounds like a crappy situation all-around.

 

Any ideas on possible replacements?

Nope, GT fans always like to throw Mark Price's name in the mix, but I was told that's not likely to happen. Since they wouldn't have a lot of money to spend on their new coach, they'd go after a younger guy like Cameron Dollar, Chris Collins, etc. One of the things that sucks about being a GT fan is that a majority of their fans only care about football. They'd rather give raises to the assistant football coaches than to have a competitive basketball team.

That's unfortunate because mile for mile, Georgia has the best basketball talent in the nation. Georgia and GT should be in the tourney every year just off of local talent alone.

I should have never underestimated the crappiness of UNC's guards.

 

It's hard to measure just how s***ty this UNC roster is. You have some young talent that Roy just refuses to play, and some upper classmen that just aren't ACC caliber but Roy was in love with them. Just made absolutely no sense.

Larry Drew has ZERO confidence, he looks like a deer in headlights during crunch time. Nobody can step up to be a scorer with this bunch, mercifully the season is over (hopefully). Unless the Not Invited Tournament accepts them.
