As it turns out, the chalk of the first weekend wasn’t so bad after all. In fact, it made for one of the most exciting second weekends of the NCAA Tournament in recent memory. In the Sweet 16, half of the eight games went down to the wire, and even the other four games that […]
The Selection Committee was very good to the ACC, as three teams were awarded No. 1 seeds: Duke, North Carolina, and Virginia. Before this season, that had only happened once in Tournament history, when the old Big East took three of the four No. 1’s in 2009. Duke also earned the No. 1 overall seed […]
The Eagles turned in arguably their worst performance of the season in a disappointing 73-47 loss to NC State to close out the regular season. Seniors Gordon Gehan and Ervins Meznieks both earned the start, alongside Ky Bowman, Nic Popovic, and Jordan Chatman. In all likelihood, of Saturday’s five starters, Popovic is the only one […]

In college basketball terms, that means it’s almost time for March Madness. The selection committee recently released its initial 1-4 seeds.

For the second time in four weeks, Duke and Virginia are set to square off in college basketball’s marquee Saturday evening game, and, like last time, both teams come into the matchup red-hot. The Blue Devils and Cavaliers rank No. 2 and 3 in the nation, respectively, good enough for two guaranteed No. 1 seeds […]
Ky Bowman and Jordan Chatman each had 21 points, but Tyus Battle’s 31 points on 11-of-17 shooting powered Syracuse to a 77-71 road victory over Boston College. The Eagles jumped out to a 15-6 lead before Syracuse went on a 14-0 run to take control. BC would hang around the whole game but never led […]
