Sad News..........Not Really

I'm all broke up.............
If the season ended today, the ACC would make the wrong kind of history. The conference -- which dominates the NCAA tournament record book for all-time appearances, winning percentage, No. 1 seeds and Final Four teams -- would equal its lowest bid total of the modern era.
The ACC got just three teams apiece in the 1999 and 2000 tournaments. With NC State sliding out of this year's projected field over the weekend and defending champion Virginia not quite back in (team No. 69 as of this writing), the ACC is again sitting on the possibility of only three entries for the 2020 bracket.
The best line is under the picture of Roy: Roy Williams and the North Carolina Tar Heels could miss the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2010.
Could? Really? That implies that someone actually believes they can miraculously turn the season around and possibly win the ACC tournament, because that is the only way they are going anywhere. They are already two games under .500 and still have to play Duke (2x) and Louisville. ESPN has to be in meltdown mode with their favorite b-ball conference having difficulties. Carolina appears to get more coverage when they are playing like crap than the teams doing well this season.

The good news is that if you LIKE watching Roy lose, you'll have plenty of opportunities.
