the regular season is pretty much over and conference tournaments are underway ... we are following the ACC Tournament .... some close games but no real first round shockers .... looking forward to Notre Dame vs Virginia Tech game that is getting ready to tip off .... we are pulling for the Irish but the talking heads are all picking the Hokies

2 out of the 3 first night games in the ACC Tournament were close -- Georgia Tech 61, Florida State 60 and Virginia Tech 67, Notre Dame 64 --- the third not so much Boston College 80, Louisville 62

there are 4 games on tap for today ---- in the first game Syracuse’s 77-74 loss to Wake Forest ---- 2:30 Georgia Tech vs. Pitt --- 7:00 Boston College & University of NC ---- 9:30 Virginia Tech & NC State

The #2 seeded Gonzaga Bulldogs of the WCC (West Coast Conference) beat #1 seeded Saint Marys in the conference championship game by a mere 27 points Tuesday night. Gonzaga and Saint Marys tied for the regular season championship and Saint Marys got the #1 seed due to the Ken Pom rankings. Gonzaga is not used to not being the #1 seed and put a mighty whooping on Saint Marys. The Bulldogs led by 37 in the second half and cleared the bench thus leading to the “only” 27 point win. Thinking the Zags were just a little pissed. HA!

Now it’s on the the National Championship where the Bulldogs should be seeded a 2 or a 3. A bit off of the #1 seed they have had the last few years.

busy day for North Carolina schools in the ACC Tournament

12:00 Wake Forest vs Miami

2:30 Duke vs Pitt

7:00 University of NC vs Virginia Tech

9:00 NC State vs Clemson

Miami put Wake Forest out this morning and Duke dominated Pitt in the second

well, Duke is the only team from a university in our area left in the ACC Tournament .... the Blue Devils go against Miami's Hurricanes at 7PM

well, Virginia and Duke will settle the championship tonight .... while pulling for Duke, I wouldn't be willing to bet much more than a Coke on them

Duke topped a very good Virginia team by 10 .... 59 - 49 .... while Duke was in front from the opening tip but never by enough to be comfortable

Congrats to Duke. I was reading on the Gonzaga forum that Duke is peaking at the perfect time. Some of the guys while discussing potential matchups have commented, “hope we don’t meet Duke”.

Looking forward to the Selection Sunday show, hope the Zags don’t get shipped out east. The three hour time difference can be difficult if in addition you draw an early game.

There are no surprises in the SEC tournament. Today no. 1 Alabama plays no. 2 seed Texas A&M
