speaking of identities, What is the identity of the A. C. C. So last night was a pretty good matchup? Duke needed it against pitt. But if you look at the top of the A. C. C standings. You see Virginia. Not north Carolina, heck. Not even certain programs that we respect the coaches. You know, like Jim Larranaga Miami or, or Leonard Hambleton at florida state. No, it's Clemson. Clemson is six and oh and A C. C. Play for the first time ever and it's won 10 straight A. C. C. Regular season games overall. Oh, and look at that. They play Duke next I am elevating us from a lazy A. C. C. Takes watch to a lazy A. Cc. Takes warning. Alright. I've kind of referenced how the national basketball illuminati have been talking about the A. C. C. They'll point to kenpom, it's not overall great. I think the highest kenpom team right now is Virginia. They look at Clemson, Clemson being six and O. Is a true indictment of the A. C. C. And not necessarily. I will say this about Clemson's schedule. If we know we don't have the round robin anymore. You know whose schedule is actually pretty good. The rest of the way Clemson's so it's entirely possible. They wouldn't league. They certainly make, they're gonna make the NC double A. Tournament at this point. I can't see them just completely losing everything. I mean, I know you're making a face. They've done it before. I don't see it with the schedule. I'll be shocked with the schedule is what I'm saying, meaning. Which which way are you going on? That you think they have a difficult schedule? They have an easy schedule. I think they have an easy schedule going forward. So the remaining, I mean we're just six games into the they got Duke, which who they can beat because if you want to get into a rock fight with Duke, I think you can make that happen. Wake Forest Virginia Tech who's reeling at this moment in time. So you got that last night? Georgia tech is May florida State is May boston College also made north Carolina can be had followed by florida State. Louisville Syracuse which is mid N. C. State, which we know brad Brownell has made life miserable for the Wolfpack. And then yeah. And then I would give you those odds of Clemson winning the league. They're a good team. Don't get me wrong, they're a veteran team and they play hard. I mean they make you I mean, he turned brad Brownell loves to turn every game into a rock fight. Well, I brought this up, I brought this up to Jeff Capel pitt head coach last night about uh I called it a recalibration. Okay, we don't have the coach k farewell tour. That's taking all the air out of the room. We're not in the oh my goodness Roy Williams just retired. You know what's happening here, Tony Bennett has had some ebbs and flows since they won a national championship in 2019. So I called it a recalibration where the usual suspects with the usual coaches are not do what we expect. So therefore we have a hard time processing that, oh by the way, there's other good teams in this league. And just because Clemson happens to be taking advantage of it right now doesn't mean that the A. C. C. Is bad. So I asked them thoughts on, you know, what is the status of the league at this point in january? I think our league is really good. I think our league is the most disrespected good league in the country and I hate when, you know, especially people that are doing our games talk like it's not good. You know, we heard that all last year and all we had was two teams in the final four, another team in the elite eight, I think our team, I think our league is really good. It may not be as top heavy as it was when I first took the pit job and you had three number one seeds, overall number one seeds in the tournament, but it's a really, really good league. Um, and I wish people would really respect it, you know, across the country. Like we do as coaches. It's really talented players, really good coaches, great home court environments, great passionate fan bases. Um, and we go out and we win. You know, it's it's it's it's especially when we get to the tournament, you know, we've proven that year in and year out. So I don't think we're recalibrating its different faces. Obviously you don't have the quote unquote legends with coach and with and with coach Williams, um but you have really good coaches that have been in this league and been in coaching for a while, like, you know, Coach Larranaga and Leonard Hamilton's and obviously Tony is a championship coach. Um you know, so we have really good coaches, really good players and uh I think it's a very good league. That's Jeff Capel pitt head coach last night on the status of the conference. You wonder why media types like Jeff cable, by the way, that's a post came after a loss, after a difficult loss. You asked him a question about the league at large and he gave you that type of answer, great stuff. He's the best love talking to Jeff cable and he's right, he's right, because we, I brought this up and kept using the word good, which was accurate. There are no great teams in the league this year and that's fine. But let's expand that out because this is my biggest problem with how we talk about college basketball right now. It's a trick question these days, there's nobody great, we have to dislodge ourselves from this idea that there's truly great college basketball teams going on right now. I know what you're thinking, you're thinking Houston I get all defensively Houston, right? That doesn't mean they can't be had but defensively there any one of these teams can be had any one of them. Alright. I don't disagree with that. So if we understand that the A. C. C. Ain't what it used to be. You know what else ain't what it used to be college basketball for a variety of reasons. Whether it's guys going pro early, whether it's the transfer portal and teams aren't the same, there's no continuity. And even the teams that are older still like high north Carolina still has their quirks that they have to work through before they can truly breakthrough. So this is not a cop out. It's more of like a guys college basketball is different. So we gotta talk about college basketball differently. Let me, let me say this though. This is a this is a prime year. You are accurate in what you're saying, anybody can be had and I can just hear Colton tutor in the back of my head right now. It's the coaches stupid. It's the coach's stupid. It's the coaches. This is a prime year where Mike Stachowski 2010 would be 92 before. Not 92 but his late eighties teams where you're like who's gonna win this thing, who's gonna be in the final four then you look up and you're like oh look it's Duke, it's great. You know? So I don't think Duke is in that position where they could steal one but that's where we are in college basketball, who's gonna be the coach who goes into that bracket and says we can take this the doors open because of what you just said.
