Tobacco Road begins and ends in Raleigh as the Pack place both men's and women's teams in the top tier of the NCAA Basketball Tournaments. NC State has delivered an amazing package of hoops for fans this season. Bang for the buck? Oh, you're into whipped cream territory now and keep your fingers crossed that a cherry of two are still in the works. You can certainly talk about t

Now seriously, who would have seen the ACC owning 25% of the NCAA Men's Sweet 16? An easy and perhaps lazy approach would have presented North Carolina and Duke, but come on. Clemson and NC State? Hey, we're not complaining and neither should anyone who's a fan of an ACC team. This is the kind of thing that puts the wind back into the conference sails. Round The Bases With D1 S

Mid-February is a great time to conduct a physical on the ACC. Are conference sports delivering? Will and Jim pop in on wrestling, swimming, gymnastics, fencing, golf, softball and lacrosse to see how teams are performing. If you go by rankings the answer is, pretty good. Then we stumble into men's basketball. The latest AP Top 25 features 3 conference teams however that could all

It's early February so, just chill. ACC basketball is about to get a whole lot hotter. Will and Jim take a look at the Top 25 for men and women, the NET Rankings, toss in some KenPom, discuss the latest brackets for both (check out the links to Big Underdog and Her Hoop Stats on the homepage) and discuss what it might look like on Red Bandana day at Boston College if a certain une

Pick your favorite adjective in describing the current state of ACC men's basketball and unless you're a Carolina or Duke fan it won't be ideally used in mixed company. Seriously, what in the hell is this nonsense that resembles the horrors of a six-year old who, awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night, needs new sheets? Overboard? We think not.
