I don't know about that, I was thinking more that this may be the first time the ACC loses.

well unc and duke should both win....

VT winning last night would have been the best chance at the ACC getting a game up on the B10 and edging out a 5-4 win. But for some reason the decided to not press on the last possesion and let Wisconsin come right down the floor and take a barely contested shot from the free throw line.

ACC needs Maryland to win against Michigan and UVA to come through. Stop and think about that, it's going to be hard.

UVa will beat Minnesota

barely contested shot?? he was spun halfway around and had Malcolm Delaney in his face...VT pressed on the last second shot against Xavier and got burnt from half court...there's not much you can do about games like that

#10 is the one that supposedly spun him around when in actuallity he barely even touched him as he dove behind him trying to avoid fouling on the reach around and then Delany stood on the last C while he took the shot from the second C on the ACC at the line.

I guess I forgot that the half court contested shot is a higher percentage shot than the 12' stand beside and watch.

Well it looked like on the highlights the defender stood still hands straight up to try and make sure he didn't cause a foul. Looked like that was the instruction from someone stepping off the bench onto the floor as well. It wasn't truly contested, but someone was there.

you play the video like i wasn't there...coach greenberg tells them to pick up in the 3/4 court and absolutely do not foul...Thorns got bumped and Davila was supposed to step up and hedge any screen, Delaney was there and contested the shot, he just made a tough shot
