By Mychal Hunter With the conclusion of the season for three teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference tonight (and one announcement from the SEC) there is already talk about coaches leaving and coaches being fired. So let's talk about it. Buzz Williams-Virginia Tech Everyone knew this was going to happen eventually. Ever since Buzz took …
By Mychal Hunter I had high hopes for the ACC in the preseason. I was higher on Notre Dame than almost anyone which proved to be a mistake, but I'll own it. I see the Irish as a team that will be very successful next year. I thought Louisville would be bad though I knew Jordan …

By Mychal Hunter Yeesh, that was not a good game day in the ACC yesterday. The matchups weren't very intriguing outside of North Carolina State and FSU and even that game went about as expected.

By Mychal Hunter Another week another collapse by Louisville. The team that I led the charge on just a five or so weeks ago has completely lost it's confidence and forgotten how to close games.

The opportunity for entire teams to break out. As I illustrated yesterday there are many quality players, just in the front court …
Night two of the challenge is tonight, and while a couple of the games are somewhat interesting, some others are kind of, blah. Pittsburgh is in action tonight, but not in the challenge, they will be hosting High Point and trying to avoid another embarrassing loss at home. On to the important stuff... Florida State …
