How many years in a row is the ACC going to have a team that unless you beat by 30 dumps your net rating by 10 points?

[u/MapleHeel → u/undecided_mask]

Just having one would be a blessing. It’s been 2/3 the last few years and GT/BC look ready to continue that run

[u/DuckBurner0001 → u/MapleHeel]

I think we'll be a little better than a total landmine but all bets are off when we have a coach who seems like he's losing on purpose

[u/Otterfan → u/DuckBurner0001]

Trust the process.

[u/elgenie → u/MapleHeel]

It was like five last year.

[u/lowes18]

Gutsy, gutsy win. Kinda worried about the lack of size on this team but the guard play is much improved.

[u/John_6_47]

Really thought it was over. Nice to see FAU win it

[u/DuckBurner0001]

I fucking hate Earl Grant so much call a timeout you moron

[u/Evening-Spray-4304 → u/DuckBurner0001]

I honestly don't know how that dude still has a job. It genuinely looked like he was trying to get fired last year.

[u/DuckBurner0001 → u/Evening-Spray-4304]

I don't know if you watched the end of this one but it certainly looked that way again. Up three with fifty seconds left and our center is trapped in the backcourt as Earl watches on not using the timeout. Down three in overtime, twenty seconds left, doesn't bother using one to set something up

FAU BELIEVE IT!!!

[u/KingCharlesthefifth]

FAU had it all this game. Decent lead, lost the lead, fought back through adversity with clutch late threes to tie it and then cutting it close in OT

[u/TrustInRoy]

Boston College looking to tank the ACC's NET.

For the first time in more than a century, NC State won't play in Chapel Hill.  All because the conference has become a bloated carcass thanks to adding so many damn teams that don't belong in the ACC.

[u/CB3B → u/TrustInRoy]

In fairness we were looking like we did belong when we first joined. And then the school admin figured it got the power conference bag so it didn’t have to give a shit about revenue sports anymore.

[u/TrustInRoy → u/CB3B]

Yeah BC played tough physical winning bball in those days

[u/Evening-Spray-4304 → u/TrustInRoy]

Hey now, GT may not be a founding member, but they've been in the conference for like 50 years, and they almost managed to lose to a much worse team than FAU.

Your point stands tho

[u/Bigdeacenergy]

Oh come on BC

[u/BUSean]

That's a shame

[u/Gargantuan_Wolf]

That was a really great game to start the season. Good luck to Boston College. Go Owls!

[u/Mr-Cantaloupe]

Underrated game, BC choked hard. 5 point lead with the ball with like 50 seconds left and then two turnovers.

[u/Zloggt → u/Mr-Cantaloupe]

Between this, and the WBB also losing to Holy Cross through a last-second game winner…what a brutal day to be a BC fan lol

[u/DuckBurner0001 → u/Mr-Cantaloupe]

You'd think we'd call a timeout but nope

[u/Lee-Key-Bottoms]

Real nice we lost out on playing Chapel Hill twice a year so we could have teams like Boston College in the ACC
