Spectacular close from Ven Allen-Lubin, a double-double (10 pts, 13 rebs) that included 2 tip-ins in the final 2 minutes, a tied for his career high in rebounding and the closing block

All of a sudden, UNC's entire bubble case comes down to a chance against Flagg-less Duke

Not a fan of swallowing the whistles at the end. The foul on Austin would not have qualified, there was absolutely no contact

The ACC tourney starts Tuesday in Charlotte. Fun facts:
- The computer really loves Duke
- Don't we all?
- Last year, N.C. State had a 0.7% chance to win
- Virginia Tech will win it.

Louisville with yet another superb road showing last night, crushing NC State by 25. Cards are #1 in the nation in our AFH (Away From Home) metric. Five of their seven best performances this season have come away from KFC Yum!, while their worst four efforts all occurred at home.

Clemson rolled out a new starting lineup featuring Dillon Hunter in their win over Duke, partly out of necessity due to sickness to Wiggins, but I think they should stick with it moving forward.

The new group has the best efficiency margin in the ACC at +62.8 points per 100 possessions.

Cameron Hildreth’s yips seem to be gone. 37 pts, 12-16 shooting over the last 1.25 games

Clemson’s secret weapon is going small late in games when the other team does the same, and winning those minutes

Pitt is going to move to 0-12 all-time against Virginia when scoring 67 or less points

All of these games have occurred within the last 15 years

New career highs in scoring tonight for both Dai Dai Ames (25) and Anthony Robinson (9) for Virginia

Can only describe Pitt’s win as survival. 17 pts, 4 asts in the 2nd half from Jaland Lowe is the best development in weeks

Got pummeled on the boards again (48-33). And UNC won’t be a reprieve, since the one thing the centers are great at is rebounding and putbacks

Someone outside of the 6 best teams in the ACC so far is going to make a serious run at the top 4. Notre Dame might be the best bet if Burton is back soon, but I’m seriously talking myself into Stanford being the answer

I know Virginia was put in a tough position, but their current KenPom ranking of 108 would be their worst finish in the KenPom era.

Cornell just earned its first win over a power conference team since the dream '09-10 season which saw the Big Red have its storybook Sweet 16. That year they knocked off Alabama, St. John's, & Wisconsin.

A memorable night for Jon Jaques and Cornell, victorious over Cal- 88-80. What a joy to watch.

Miami’s offense still looks completely broken (including 1-11 from 3) Ian Schiefflin found his shot (11 pts, 3-3 from 3), the rebounding and turnover battles are more or less even, yet Clemson is only up 1 at half

Main culprit is 3-12 shooting from Chase Hunter + 5 pts from Zackery/Wiggins/D Hunter
