If you’re a basketball fan and have difficulty telling whether you’re coming or going this time of year, you’re not alone. (If you feel that way in general, you’re on your own.)

There is, after all, just…

Maryland’s Gary Williams is among the most successful basketball coaches in ACC history. He’s also a volatile sideline presence who somehow has never received the full measure of appreciation his accomplishments merit.

Only two coaches in the league’s 57 years, North Carolina’s Dean Smith and Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, have amassed more victories than Williams’ 202 in…

Yellow Jackets Back Up Hype

Take away Duke and North Carolina and no ACC team received more preseason hype than Georgia Tech. Armed with one of the nation’s top-rated recruiting classes, the Yellow Jackets were even mentioned as a dark horse contender for the Final Four by some.

Now we finally know why.

The Yellow Jackets, which hadn’t won two games in a row since January,…

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - There wasn’t much suspense for the Maryland basketball team when NCAA tournament bids were announced Sunday.

Last year was a different story. The Terrapins were one of the last at-large teams to make the field and were delighted to get a No. 10 seed.

This time around, they knew they’d be in - they just didn’t know…

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - Kyle Singler scored 27 points to help fourth-ranked Duke push ahead in the second half to beat Miami 77-74 in Saturday’s Atlantic Coast Conference tournament semifinals.

Jon Scheyer added 16 points, including eight in the go-ahead 15-0 run early in the second half that restored some sense of order in an upset-filled tournament. The top-seeded Blue…

Former college coach Denny Kuiper breaks down Georgia Tech-Maryland and N.C. State-FSU.

The trend continued in the evening games of the quarterfinals - both underdogs won. But like the afternoon games, I don’t consider them upsets. Georgia Tech was desperate, and probably secured an NCAA bid with its win over Maryland. N.C. State just wants to keep playing. Give both teams…

Some quick thoughts on Georgia Tech’s win over Maryland while I watch my eighth ACC game in eight days.
