Formed in 1953, the ACC has evolved like every other league in major-college athletics, expanding far beyond its basketball-centric roots as an eight-school conference in the mid-Atlantic region. It remains among the four richest and most powerful leagues, along with the Big Ten, SEC and Big 12, but its future is murky and identity up for grabs. (Sports Illustrated)

It's the off season, so what the heck.

This morning I started listening to Rex Chapman's book that came out and he mentions UNC in an early chapter. When talking about his recruitment picking up his junior year of HS, coaches could come watch him workout. One of those coaches was Dean Smith.

It just so happened, that Smith came to watch on Halloween, and Chapman had a thing where he dressed up like a woman every year for the occasion. In the book he mentions going thru an entire workout while wearing a long wig and headband, with Dean Smith watching the entire time. I thought that was pretty funny and thought some of you might get a kick out of it.

Apparently, there's another part in the book I've heard about (haven't gotten there yet myself), where he said after his time at UK, someone from the university called asking if he wanted his jersey in the rafters. It would only cost him $50k to the university to make it happen....

Need to make sure we take care of business and not look past them to the duke series.

Between Cade Tyson and Drake Powell, SF looks solid. Check these highlights.

I found it interesting with knowing that RJ is coming back. The fact that he was all Kentucky until he met Hubert is nice, but the expectation to be a clear one and done and points per game expectation seem to be more of a no RJ role?

Armando Bacot reflects on UNC basketball career in Tar Heels’ tribute video​

Armando Bacot, Tar Heel legend. That was the caption on a post by UNC Basketball’s social media accounts Monday evening. The post features a four-minute video of Bacot reflecting on his time with the Tar Heels, in which he became Carolina's all-time leader in rebounds (1,715), double-doubles (87), and second-most points by a UNC player (2,347).
