There was no shortage of effort in the ACC tournament. Ball-handling and good shooting though, were scarce.

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…

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,…

Former college coach Denny Kuiper breaks down Duke-UVa and Miami-Virginia Tech.

Something is becoming very clear in the ACC tournament games; don’t take any team lightly. Virginia gave Duke all it could handle until the last six minutes of the game, and No. 12 seed Miami continued to move forward with a victory over Virginia Tech. Other than Duke, I don’t think there are any…

All the familiar March warning signs were there for the Blue Devils.

Key players got in foul trouble. Duke got no offensive production from the low post. The Blue Devils struggled to finish at the rim. An underdog gained confidence with each passing minute.

But there were also signs in Duke’s 57-46 win over Virginia that this group of Blue Devils may be better…

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - Kyle Singler had 18 points and 11 rebounds, and No. 4 Duke pulled away late to beat pesky Virginia 57-46 on Friday in an Atlantic Coast Conference quarterfinal.

Nolan Smith added 15 points for the top-seeded Blue Devils (27-5) and Jon Scheyer shook off a rough start to score 15 - including seven during the late 11-0 run that sent them into Saturday’s…

Former college coach Denny Kuiper breaks down the first day of the ACC tournament.

It was an interesting first day. Three of the underdogs won - Virginia, Miami, and N.C. State. But I would not really call those wins upsets. Remember, there is a reason these eight teams played in the opening round. They were either not good enough or did not play well enough to…

Today’s batch of Daily Links would like to thank the ACC for expanding. Instead of links to football players in rehab, there were four games and eight teams worth of action yesterday. And the best part? Those games were unpredictably good.

All recent contributors to the ACC Sports Journal are in bold.

Boston College looked careless yesterday, like a team that could lose to an undermanned Virginia…
