ACC Roundup!

Here are some reactions to Roy Williams' F-bomb after the State game.   We dont' really care about this issue.  Most people use profanity, and frequently for good reason: it's effective. Coaches have used it since sport began, with the possible exceptions of Dean Smith (we don't buy it), and John Wooden (okay, that we can buy).

Conf. Pct. Overall Pct.
North Carolina 10-2 .833 24-2 .923
Clemson 7-4 .636 21-4 .840
Wake Forest 7-4 .636 20-4 .833
Duke 7-4 .636 21-5 .808
Florida State 7-4 .636 20-6 .769
Boston College 7-5 .583 19-8 .704
Virginia Tech 6-5 .545 16-9 .640
Maryland 5-6 .455 16-9 .640
NC State 4-7 .364 14-10 .583
Miami 4-8 .333 15-10 .600
Virginia 3-8 .273 9-13 .409
Georgia Tech 1-11 .083 10-15 .400

Here's why we liked it:  UNC has for decades reacted with horror - the horror! - of Coach K Kursing.  It's been an area where they've claimed moral superiority - our coaches don't curse like those awful folks at Duke (we won't get into Matt Doherty here, but we could).

Well, here's what we say: our coaches don't curse when they're miked.

Virginia Tech, like Miami, is unexpectedly on the outside looking in when it comes to the tournament.  They can still do it - they very nearly pulled it off last year - but it's not going to be easy.

Speaking of UNC, here's Tyler Zeller on his unexpected comeback.

No ACC games Friday, as usual.
