Lawson hurts draft stock in a big way
2008-06-07 23:42:00
By Will Ojanen will@accnation.com After a brief hiatus, Will’s World is back. And I know you all missed me?some of you missed me?maybe my dad missed me. But I have a bone to pick. On Friday, Ty Lawson was arrested and faces several charges, including driving after drinking (similar to a DWI, but not really a DWI by ...

2008 baseball super regionals set
2008-06-03 13:02:00
Florida State won. Georgia Tech didn’t. So, the super regionals are set and a quarter of the teams are from the ACC. Four of the six ACC teams that reached the NCAA Tournament won their regionals. Maybe this was expected, but the four teams that won all hosted regionals. The two that lost - Georgia Tech ...

The early entrants ? what should they do?
2008-05-21 14:41:00
Column by Will Ojanen will@accnation.com I was a little surprised when I looked over the list of players who left school early for the NBA Draft. There were only four players from the ACC on it. And, coincidentally, all of them went to school in the state of North Carolina. I’m not sure if it’s a telling sign ...

ACC Nation baseball power poll ? May 18
2008-05-18 06:51:00
The regular season is complete and the ACC Tournament begins Wednesday in Jacksonville. This is unofficial, since the ACC won’t release the seedings until Sunday afternoon, but it appears this is the way things will shape up: Division A will consist of No. 1 Miami, No. 4 NC State, No. 5 Georgia Tech and No. ...
Bye-bye Boise (hello D.C.?)
2008-05-15 20:47:00
Column by Patrick Hite patrick@accnation.com Most of the news coming out of the ACC’s spring meetings was expected — no 18-game schedule in basketball or 9-game schedule in football– but I thought the best news this week was that, after 2008, the ACC won’t be affiliated with the Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho. Despite what John Swofford said ...
Random thoughts from the outsider
2008-05-14 16:37:00
Column by Will Ojanen will@accnation.com Shortly after the recent NFL Draft, ESPN’s Todd McShay posted a first round mock draft for 2009. I know it’s a year early, but it’s always interesting to gauge who the so called draft experts really like coming in to the next season. Some players of note include Georgia Tech DE Michael Johnson, ...

After studying the ACC baseball standings for three minutes (it shows below) Sunday afternoon, I believe seven six of the eight spots have been claimed in the ACC Tournament.

ACC basketball season in review ? part four

Column by Will Ojanen will@accnation.com Here we are with one last trio of teams to recap. All three had pretty solid season, and went to the big dance.

Should ACC hoops split into divisions?
2008-05-07 05:25:00
Column by Patrick Hite patrick@accnation.com Poll: What format would you like to see? The ACC’s athletics directors will discuss a possible 18-game schedule for men’s basketball at next week’s spring meetings. So far, I’ve seen just one benefit from an 18-game schedule - the ACC can line its pocket a little more. With the additional games, it’s hard to ...

ACC baseball power poll ? April 28
2008-04-28 16:30:00
Virginia took the largest drop this week and, if I could have justified it, I would have dropped them farther. If it wasn’t for Clemson, UVa. would be the most disappointing team in the ACC this year. Sure, the Cavaliers have 32 wins overall and a winning record in the conference, but they haven’t won a ...

Did Roy Williams disrespect Carolina?

Column by Patrick Hite patrick@accnation.com It caught me by surprise.

ACC to NBA: My best guess

Carolina faces questions after Kansas rout

Column by Patrick Hite patrick@accnation.com Billy Packer kept referring to it as three different periods and three different games. North Carolina won just one of those games and, unfortunately for the Tar Heels, they didn’t win that one in nearly the decisive fashion that Kansas won its two.

Georgetown then controlled the extra period, scoring the ...
Carolina tops Washington State 68-47
2008-03-28 06:20:00
Story by Patrick Hite patrick@accnation.com The talk coming into Thursday night’s Sweet 16 matchup was about Washington State’s defense and North Carolina’s offense. In the end, maybe the Tar Heels’ defense didn’t get enough credit. Carolina held Washington State to 31.6-percent shooting and ended up with a relatively easy 68-47 victory to advance to Saturday’s regional final against Louisville. “Well, we ...
