The ACC has declined the last few years no doubt. Not that long ago they were the premier BBall Conference B12 and SEC are now the top conferences
Given CSM's "We will foul the living shidt out of you" rant against his team following the loss to Kentucky and his explosion at assistant coach Ryan Anderson for rushing the court prematurely against NC State, I'd say he still has a little fire in his belly.
Interesting, but not surprising fact. In Women's CBB the 1st round is at the home court of each of the top 16 seeds. Big advantage no doubt. But this year at least so far, none of the top 16 has lost at home, so far something like 25-0. They do the home court so they can get attendance, but it's such a huge advantage that I believe they are going to change it starting next year as they feel the women's game has gotten to the point where they will draw good crowds at neutral sites
Virginia became the 1st team to beat a host team on their home court. It took double OT but they outlasted the Hawkeyes 83-75. They are the lowest seed to make the Sweet 16 at a 10 seed.
Yep....my daughter loved Hubert, but saw the writing on the wall. Down here he was much beloved by Tar Heel fans....he was a member of the Tar Heel family - hand picked successor to Roy and played for Dean Smith - but getting bounced in the 1st round 2 years in a row doesn't work either. This years collapse was a bridge too far. Much debate about which direction to go.....stay with a Carolina man or go outside the family????
Hasn't really worked has it. The guy after Dean Smith, his top Lt for years, failure. The next guy, Doherty another Tar Heel legend who had 1 year of success at ND, failure. Roy Williams bailed them out but now Davis another Tar Heel legend who failed. Time to consider getting the best guy, whether or not he's an alum.
men's basketball coach Hubert Davis was fired by the school, bringing a conclusion to a tumultuous week after the Tar Heels' stunning loss to VCU in the first round of the NCAA tournament. The school did not specify the nature of Davis' departure in its statement Tuesday night, simply calling it a change in leadership. But in a post to Instagram, Davis said he was "let go" by the university and that his desire was to continue to coach at Chapel Hill.
Unusual move. . After five straight 20-win seasons, Kristi Curry has taken the USF job that Jose Fernandez coached until taking the Dallas Wings position. Curry went from Purdue to Texas Tech to Alabama for 13 years, so she has no Florida background in her travels. Could this be: - Realizing that she's not going to get over the hump against the Dawns, Kims, Vics and even the Sheas of the SEC? - Being told that the support (NIL) is not growing or being lessened? According to a Raoul post, Alabama is dead last in spending for WBB in the SEC, so that could very well be the reason. - Or realizing life might be easier after age 60 in another conference?
Yes she had kept it a secret and had even indicated to the team about plans for the future, but the move was announced the day after the loss in the NCAA tournament.
